I know it doesn’t seem like a big distance but when you see power truck convoys a mile or so long, followed with the necessary support equipment and personnel, you realize this is something heavily planned.

Part of the problem you point out to the agitator is the recent battle in Congress that threatened to derail the necessary $20 billion FEMA funding. This funding should’ve been resolved months ago in preparation of the new fiscal year. But rather than do that, these politicians (if I could make my written words to drip with more sarcasm I would do it) decided that because FEMA would be wiped out under Project 2025. While the bill eventually passed, the following people voted against the bill:

I am sure that someone, who has a political axe to grind, would say “Why didn’t they have extingency plans??? See! See! See! They and their leaders are incompetent and vote for the other guy!!!”.

While we really can’t do anything to stop or redirect storms (despite what Marjorie Taylor Greene spews), we can hold accountable the members of Congress who put their agenda ahead of the physical safety of their fellow Americans.

I lived in NC for over 25 years. In all my time there, I saw more than my share of storms. The vast majority of them came up from the south and either skirted along the coast or bent inland and then run into the northern states. By the time they got to central NC, the storms were mostly petered out or, the swung back out to sea. In the past, Helene would have tracked like the black arrow I have crudely drew

Senator Deb Fischer of Nebraska

If you see your representative or Senator on this list and you are subject to Helene or Milton, know that they don’t give a crap about you. They care more about their power and subservience to their Most Exalted Grand PooBah and identifying and destroying people and things that are “woke” than they are to their fellow Americans that have been laid low by a storm that had never happened before. That $20 billion could have been put to use in projecting and gaming the response and, among the weather games would be what to do if another devastating storm follows right on its tails.

You now need to figure out how you are going to turn them around, ship them a couple hundred miles and hope that you can find and secure the necessary staging grounds. The contacts they used to have built up over 4, 5, 6, 10 storm seasons are no longer useful so they need to find new ones.

Helene did something unexpected: It ran right up the Blue Ridge Parkway (green arrow) and hammered towns that had never seen anything like this before.

to the new staging areas (red area).

If you look back in history, you will see that storms usually hit in the same general area and follow the same general path. So the plans to respond, assemble, stage and deploy were all built around history.

SO you are now the Disaster God. You know a storm is coming so you activate your assets and move them to their staging areas. You know the storm might change a bit but not as big a shift that has happened.
