I am very sympathetic to those slammed by Helene, and I pray for their safety and recovery. At the same time, how is it that in 2024, people who live in the paths of hurricanes STILL DON'T HAVE FOOD SUPPLIES? Not even for a few days? No water supplies? No backup fuel? That seems incredibly ill-prepared given the state of our world today. I pray for these people, but I also pray that more people would have the sense to practice some basic level of preparedness. I will always help those in need, but we also need people to stop living under the delusion that nothing will ever go wrong and that food, water, fuel, comms, medicine, banks, etc., will NEVER have disruptions. S##t happens. Repeatedly. Prepare for it. Expect it.
