Flooding and landslides strike southern Appalachians after hurricane pummeled region and wreaked havoc

More than 50 people are confirmed dead and almost 3.5 million are without power on Saturday, after strong winds and torrential rain from Hurricane Helene wreaked unprecedented havoc across large swathes of the south-eastern United States.

Historic flooding continued over parts of the southern Appalachians on Saturday, as first responders worked to reach stranded communities in trying conditions while local authorities began to assess the scale of the damage and displacement.

“It looks like a bomb went off,” said Georgia’s governor, Brian Kemp, after surveying the damage from the air on Saturday.

    Doesn’t matter, they don’t care, to them this was caused because we let gays serve in the military or some shit.

    God wouldn’t have struck them with a flood unless other people less devout than them hadn’t done evil things, clearly this was a flood incited by Trans-culture.
