No matter the volume of water dumped as part of this hurricane, this is a man made disaster because of no land use restrictions forbidding building in a floodway. Most of the houses I have seen in online photos is of mobile homes lifted off the ground by the water and being destroyed. Even in evil California this disaster would not have happened because they disallow building in floodways and require houses built in flood zones to be 1 foot above the flooding line. In North Carolina the heighth of the flood waters could not have been mitigated by better building codes, only by forbidding construction. Flood zones are cheap land to build on compared to hillsides. Where do the people who survived but made homeless by the floods start over when probably their jobs were also washed away?

Here's Jon Rappoport's take. Caveat: I find he often gets things wrong:

"We’re supposed to believe that evil super-professionals injected some kind of electronic amphetamine right into Hurricane Helene, which made it MUCH MORE powerful and destructive and monstrous…

BUT THEN they were then able to CONTROL the whole thing, and STEER it unerringly to make land at a particular point in Florida AND then make a beeline to a small city, Asheville, North Carolina, where it dropped its final payload of massive wind and rain."

No mention of the fact that it came from nowhere and that 'hurricanes' don't generally strengthen over land. What about Acapulco? Two hurricanes in a year in an area with no previous history of such.

Then he admits:

"There will certainly be a land-grab.."

That's convenient.

I read this morning that 40,000 are missing. That's a lot of people.
