Spent a time thinking about our friends in the western part of the state. Helene is now the 2nd deadliest storm to strike the area in the last 55 years, according to one service. Between 150 and 200 people lost their lives and the count continues. Only Hurricane Katrina was more deadly … One report indicated up to 1,000 active duty soldiers have been approved to assist in the area nearly a week after Helene made landfall … last report indicates nearly a million still without power … Could be less by now. The path of the storm was more than 500 miles long … from Florida to the mountains of North Carolina…
Service is still being restored, the search goes on for residents of the area … All across the state, hundreds, thousands assisting in providing necessities to neighbors in the west … Our area has been well represented … many providing much needed items and there is more work to be done…
Bladen County residents have responded, as they should … Truckloads of food and water and other supplies … same for other counties, no doubt…
Our prayers continue for all in the area … It will take weeks, months for many to re-establish in the area…
The weekend is just ahead … Our thoughts and prayers for those who lost family, homes and more … It could have been this area … our area…
Oh yes … Thankful for former President Jimmy Carter. He celebrated his 100th birthday recently…
