"In an Emergency, One Redneck is Worth Ten PhD's"

  -- The Appalachian Catastrophe Continues --
Local Government Blocks Man From Placing an
RV on His Own Land Because of 'Zoning'

Please listen to the brief interview above with Shawn Hendricks where he talks about the continuing need in the southern Appalachians. He, like so many in the area, mentions that FEMA is nowhere to be found and that ridiculous local regulations are also hampering the recovery effort. I promise: the interview is well worth your time. It it Shawn who made the observation that is the title of this piece. 

The red link also takes you to Operation Shelter (tweet below). Below, from Friday, is a brief tweet about their latest work. Please consider a donation!! You will also find links to other worthy groups at the end of this piece. 

Please, please watch the entire video. 

As his FEMA fails at every level....
I seriously doubt the Biden's made an appropriate donation to the area. Given his press operation, we'd hear about it if he had. 

We also learned the name of at least one of the commissioners who has been blocking the homes built and donated by the Amish because they didn't "meet code" and they didn't receive the proper permits. This also includes the account of the RV being blocked. I am not posting her name because the one individual is not the point: government not only isn't helping, it is blocking those who are. For those who doubt that government is blocking tiny homes and trailers, and I have received comments from people who can't believe that is occurring, you can see the first hand accounts here. 

As the catastrophe continues, I find myself more and more thinking of President Reagan's words:
"A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have."

The government's minions continue their mocking of the First Amendment. Shawn has been banned from TikTok. 
You can donate an RV here. 

Samaritan's Purse, which has been doing outstanding work, is here. 

They, along with Operation Shelter (link above), seem to be doing the best work that is having the most immediate benefit.

Midnight: The East Coast Threat for Tornadoes and Severe  Thunderstorms Has Ended 3:50pm. Tornado watch for the Middle Atlantic Region. 2:30pm Tornadoes are also forecast in the South. 2:20pm. A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia.  1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes.  If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub.  I'll update later today.

Note: An Updated Forecast is Available HERE Freezing Rain The National Weather Service has now issued winter weather advisories, two warnings and a watch. It may be a bit too large but, when it comes to freezing rain and slick roads, caution is usually the better course of action.  Here's a color code: Deep purple is an ice storm warning; serious condition where power outages are possible. Pink is a winter storm warning for significant icing. Deep green is a winter storm watch. I don't know why this is still a watch. If I were on the forecast desk I would have a winter storm warning for icing.  Dark blue is a winter weather advisory, a lesser condition, for icing.  Here is a view of the entire watch/warning/advisory area. The small area of green in Illinois is for flooding and, in Nebraska, for snow.  Here is a forecast of freezing rain amounts; totals to 6am Tuesday.  Color codes: Yellow is 0.25 to 0.50 inches. Power outages may occur in this areas. Deep blue i...
