THIS THANKSGIVING:
Please consider offering a donation to the indigenous community in Lumberton N.C. The Lumbee people are still suffering after [devastating] hurricanes, flooding and systemic poverty.
We have thousands of displaced people in Butte, Ventura and Los Angeles Counties in California as a consequence of the recent (and still burning) wildfires. This story tells us that Hurricane Florence, which pounded the Carolinas in early September, continues to displace residents from their apartments and houses, this time due to mold. We are creating a different type of climate refugee here in the US, whether we want to admit it or not, which are people displaced from their homes due to flooding, hurricanes and wildfires, either because the home is now uninhabitable (i.e., mold or structurally unsound) or destroyed.
Excerpt from this Think Progress article:
Some 700 tenants of the Market North affordable housing apartment complex in Wilmington, North Carolina were given one week’s notice to leave their homes after black mold was discovered in the wake of Hurricane Florence. Residents were able to push the deadline back one more week, but the entire complex was vacated by October 22.
A second wave of displaced people are finding themselves newly homeless, months after Florence hit the state. Beginning at the end of September, at least six apartment complexes in New Hanover County have issued notices to the majority, or all, of their residents to vacate. Long after the floodwaters receded, thousands of people have had to pack their bags and leave.
With much of the temporary housing — rental apartments, Airbnb, or hotels — already full from the initial impact of Florence, finding a new place to stay in Wilmington is a challenge. Some may stay with family while others will be forced to to look further away for a place to live.
15 minutes ago, 2:50 Eastern time on Friday. Still looking like a mean monster. 3 deaths in North Carolina so far……mom and baby from tree falling on house and a woman from a heart attack. Some weather people are seeing signs that this monster might dump 60 inches of rain on parts of North Carolina.
“3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico,” Mr Trump wrote on Twitter, without offering evidence for the claim. He accused Democrats of inflating the official death toll to “make me look as bad as possible”.
Mr Long told Thursday morning’s news conference that while Florence’s wind speed had dipped, its wind field had expanded and total rainfall predictions were unchanged.
I want everybody to see how quickly help, food, water, and electricity is restored to the outer banks and the beach and the Raleigh area. I want yall to see the sympathy people get for staying in flood zones, for the understanding many will get for not evacuating. I want everybody to see how it will only take a week or two for everyone to be back to their regularly scheduled lives.
And then.
And then I want everybody to look at Puerto Rico. I want y’all to look a back at people calling Boris idiots for staying on the island. At the debate posts on whether America should’ve helped or not. At the food packages full of candy bars and no actual food in sight. At the months of no electricity in communities, hospitals, nursing homes. At every school that shut down in the last year. I want everybody to see the loss life, the devistation, and the hundreds of homeless people in PR after Maria. I want everybody to look.
And then tell me to my face that Americans have ever given a shit about anybody but themselves.
Just a heads up, I’m pretty sure we’re not going to get much. 10 million was taken from FEMA and put towards ICE at the beginning of this year by Trump. I’m not sure how much help we’ll get. But this post, everything that OP has said above, at the same time, I co-sign this as someone who lives in North Carolina. It won’t be as bad as Puerto Rico here. But it ain’t gonna be good either. Also, another thing: Akon literally could of fixed everything in Puerto Rico in 30 days and the U.S. government said no. Because what everyone seems to forget here is Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. There was no matter of wether the U.S. should of got involved. A U.S. territory is under control of the U.S. goverment. What’s happening in Puerto Rico is nothing short of goverment sanctioned genocide.
The largest storm ‘since records began’ is currently building in south east Asia/ the Pacific – its looks like it’ll be skirting the Phillipines and hitting the area around Hong Kong and Macau around Monday the 17th.
This is Typhoon Mangkhut
Those little green lines are islands and countries.
It is LARGER/STRONGER THAN FLORENCE
It’s currently typhoon 10. The highest cataorgoy and equivalent to a category 5 for American hurricanes.
Jfc, pray for South East Asia
This is the storm that’s heading our way right now. We’re in the mountains, so we probably won’t get it as bad as Manila, but people gere in Baguio are definitely gearing up.
People who spread doubt about the reality of Human-caused global warming are evil.
Both North Carolina and Virginia have stated they now have plans to evacuate prisoners within the projected path of Hurricane Florence*. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster (@HenryMcMaster, 803-734-2100) refuses to evacuate prisoners AT ALL, including those IN THE EVACUATION ZONE. Federal Prisons have only given vague answers that they “are prepared” and say they can give no details due to “security reasons”. We must continue to pressure them to ensure they meet our demands! We’ve prioritized South Carolina numbers below!
UPDATE: Jailhouse Lawyers Speak has confirmed with prisoners inside Ridgeland Correctional and Lieber Correctional that they are NOT being evacuated. Ridgeland has told phone-zappers it’s not moving people without orders from the Governor or the Director of Prisons. We’ve updated the below numbers accordingly!
Governor’s Office- 803.734.2100 and Twitter- @HenryMcMaster
Legislative Liaison/Special Assistant to the Director— Dexter Lee—- 803-896-1731
Jasper, Colleton, and Beaufort CO’s in Southern SC are not under mandatory evacuation but SC Emergency Management Div. retweeted a tweet from Horry Co. EMD telling residents of those counties to evacuate. Additionally the Governor told residents of those counties in a live press-briefing 9/12 to leave if they can. Information for those county jails:
Beaufort County Detention Center: (843) 255-5200
Colleton County Jail: (843) 549-5742
Colleton County Sheriff Administration: (843) 549-2211
