Water is heavy. I was in the thick of it when the periphery of Floyd hit Wilmington, North Carolina. Floyd returned Wilmington to its former island status, but, Floyd was nothing like Helene. The water came out of the sky and buckled my knees when I first waded into 18 inches of flood waters to begin to move all the vehicles the family owned. The weight of the water from above is what buckled my knees not the still flooding waters.
To realize the level of devastation by Helene is to understand what water can do to an entire region of the country. I have been in those mountains and they were beautiful and the people as well. It is hard to write these things, but, many people died and I dearly don’t want to have it happen again.
The CEOs from IT can take a piece of ownership of the mine. They need to take an interest. The country is supplying its best people to do all the heavy lifting. The Army Corp is the best and they are ready. There is no waiting with their readiness.
Let’s do this thing!
