@lululemon your virtual assistant on chat is incredibly UNHELPFUL. I have filed a claim for having never received an order and can’t get a refund. WHY!?!?!? #lululemon#ridiculous
The time for politics is over. We are talking about saving people’s lives here.
North Carolina must follow the lead of successful governors like @GovRonDeSantis. Cut the red tape. Stop waiting on federal resources and allow private industry in to assist with rescue and recovery efforts, and repair infrastructure immediately.
This is a life and death situation.
I need people to understand something with the news coverage regarding effects of hurricane Helene. There is a lot more to the NC Mountains than Asheville.
Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Vilas, Sugar Grove, Elk Park, West Jefferson, Black Mountain, Swannanoa, Sylva, Cullowhee, Brevard, Bryson City, Hendersonville, Cherokee, Waynesville, Burnsville, Candler, Canton, Spruce Pine, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Linville, Marshall, Maggie Valley, Newland, Grandfather, Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Old Fort, Morganton, Marion are just a few of the cities and towns that have been flooded and/or destroyed. The counties of Yancey, Mitchell, Avery, Ashe, Watauga, Transylvania, Burke, Caldwell, Alleghany, Madison, Buncombe, McDowell, Rutherford, Polk, Henderson, Wilkes, Haywood, Jackson, Macon, Clay, Cherokee, and Swain are devastated and in need of the same help, some even more.
Other counties that fall under various definitions of Western North Carolina include: Alexander County, Catawba County, Cleveland County, Surry County and Yadkin County. When these counties are added, they form a total regional area of roughly 11,750 square miles (30,400 km2).
This makes the region roughly the size of Massachusetts. Western North Carolina holds 11% of our state's population.
There are millions of people up there with no electricity, no communication, no water, and no way to get out or let rescue teams even know where they are. I am not taking anything away from Asheville and the utter destruction there or any other areas in NC that have damage. The level of destruction is unimaginable. But it's not one or two cities or towns that are in need of help.
This does not include the destroyed areas in the Tennessee mountains, Western Virginia, Georgia, or South Carolina.
Please do 2 things for me:
1. Donate to Operation Airdrop, Samaritan’s Purse, or Fleet of Angels (or all 3!)
2. Contact news media to get coverage for ALL of Western North Carolina. People need to know the full scope of this disaster so that more people can get desperately needed help. And so more people can be located because a lot of us have loved ones up there and we don't know if they're dead or alive.
These are our homes. These are places we raise our families. These are communities I work in on a daily basis. My heart breaks for everyone involved.

@Cigna It so disappointing and UNACCEPTABLE removing UWH of the Carolina providers from the Cigna network.
The removal of 300 women’s healthcare providers is a change that negatively impacts access to care for thousands of women in North & South Carolina. #keepmyOBGYN#FIXTHIS
@sheratonhotels you would think in 2022 you would have at least one option for the breastfeeding mom to be able to pump when attending a large wedding. Front desk telling you there is no adequate location is ridiculous #pumping#BreastfeedingMom#unacceptable#supportmoms

Staff: “Well if you ever want to get your Real ID just come back”
Man: “Nah I don’t get on planes anyway, what goes up gotta come down and sometimes not the way you want it to, ya know wha I mean”
Staff: “yes sir I know what you mean”

I love how @WRAL and @ABC11_WTVD have NOTHING online about the massive wreck and traffic detours all around Raleigh. Apparently if it’s not COVID related it doesn’t matter #worthlessnews
