"In response to the flooding and devastation in East Tennessee over the past 48 hours, amateur radio operators have been collaborating with emergency personnel to assist in saving lives and communicating through any means possible. We are utilizing local 2m and 440 frequencies to relay traffic as much as we can. Due to the severity of the event and the remote locations affected, we are faced with challenges in reaching certain areas as bridges and roads have been washed away. Despite these obstacles, we are committed to providing assistance in any way we can, including coordinating water drop-off points. Can we learn from this event and improve our preparedness for the future? The answer is yes. We will continue to do our best to help those affected by this disaster. Mark Hannah, N2UGA. Ps, These pictures really don’t put into perspective the widespread damage that there is!"

First a small detour # I program in Objective-C and Swift daily, because those are the languages that Apple requires developers to use to build software for their platform. It’s not a strict requirement to use any of these two languages if you go cross-platform…

I have seen a handful of folks who aren't from the area asking why all these areas didn't evacuate. Let's consider the following:
For all of modern history, Asheville NC was the destination of emergency evacuation. This includes many who evacuated this year. Let's also consider that the Appalachian culture is largely agrarian and relies on farms to produce their goods. Let's also consider that over 65% of Americans, especially in one of it's poorest regions, cannot afford any emergency expense more than $500. Hurricanes occur annually, and always hit these areas as a gentle rain shower. No one can afford to take several days off work without any notice, go rent a hotel for a week or two, and so on. This is the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard of. When I lived back home in Georgia, hurricanes were such a mundane phenomona that when we got told to evacuate, I went hiking in the forest for fun. The evidence is in my Bushcrafting channel, in 2020 I did a multiday hike with my brother and camped in the forest during the hurricane that struck the same time of year. It was nothing more than a little bit of rain. No one could have possibly anticipated this, and no one could have possibly prepared for it. It still frustrates me how little the government nor anyone outside of the region seems to give a fuck, but it's even more frustrating seeing the narrative continously shifted to blame the victims.
