Late sharing this, but I am SO PROUD of @TheAppalachian for garnering national attention for their continual coverage of Hurricane Helene's aftermath. Thank you @moody for highlighting the work of these incredible students. https://t.co/olqhzVGbIX

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

“When workers are done for the day, they should power down those Slack and email notifications.” @moody makes the case for working like it’s the 1990s: https://t.co/iHXSRgThSG

Surfing with Tulsi turned out to be a minor scandal, and remains the best DC controversy I've ever been involved with to date

[Chris Moody @moody]

So, I once went surfing with Tulsi Gabbard. Then I went log rolling with Sean Duffy.

If you've every hung out with me outdoors over the past 10 years, there's a chance Trump is about to offer you a cabinet position.

[Chris Moody @moody]

@alexstroman I'm sure flip cup was involved at some point so, yes

[Chris Moody @moody]

@KFILE So far my powers over who's going to join Trump's inner circle extend only to summer outdoor sports, but it's still early

[Chris Moody @moody]

Update on our documentary, @HowToSueTheKlan.

The film has qualified for Academy Award consideration and it's winning awards at film festivals nationwide. More to come!

[Chris Moody @moody]

I’m going to share a story about a mass shooting you may have never heard of. One where three white perpetrators who targeted Black women largely got away with it in criminal court.

But then the survivors fought back.

For your weekend reading, an idea for national newsrooms looking to maybe not be surprised by election results next time https://t.co/VKuoH5x3Jt

[Chris Moody @moody]

You are all invited to join me in the country's interior, and keep reporting

Will there be a journalistic brain drain in DC? A talent agent said what I've also heard anecdotally: A lot of reporters are "questioning if they have it in them to report on another Trump cycle."

[Chris Moody @moody]

@TheFrumJew I heard that a lot, but was never able to confirm it solidly enough to report it. I hope anyone with the receipts/reporting locked down will write it up if true!

[Chris Moody @moody]

This graduate of @appstate's Journalism program has been one of the most essential voices in local Helene coverage. Incredibly proud of @mosbren and his team. @AppStateCFAA

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

"@mosbren splits his time between running the paper, with its staff of nine, and volunteering as a firefighter and E.M.T. For the first day after the flooding, he focused on rescues and saving lives, before turning back to his duties as a reporter." https://t.co/BjnwLnbE8T

It will be "a long road ahead" toward rebuilding the infrastructure of communities in western North Carolina that were heavily battered by Hurricane Helene, says Chris Moody, a lecturer in journalism at Appalachian State University.

He also adds, "This is a region that people have talked about as being kind of immune to the extreme effects of climate change. And I think we're going to be rethinking that, of this as just some kind of safe haven — that yes, we do have to be prepared."

[Chris Moody @moody]

An update on the giant hole. It become a vital community meeting spot. It has, in the weirdest way ever, brought us all together like nothing before.

[Chris Moody @moody]

Still no power or water in many parts around Boone, NC. Our roads have plunged into the rivers, so community working together to clear debris and feed one another. Neighbor poured us water from his bathtub. People scrambling over road gaps on foot to check on family. #Helene

[Chris Moody @moody]

There's very limited cell service, so people have been communicating by Walkie-Talkies. Another great way to get information is to meet by the giant hole in the ground, where neighbors gather throughout the day to share updates and check in. #Helene

A dispatch from Boone, North Carolina: https://t.co/c4cowbGulr

[Chris Moody @moody]

@brianstelter More here on how we've worked together to stay safe and fed. We even built barricades to keep cars from falling into gaps of road that have fallen into the river https://t.co/d0FRoSexUm

[Chris Moody @moody]

Western North Carolina, where I live, was known as a "lost province" because it was so remote. People learned to rely on one another. Now that Helene has destroyed our roads, here's how our neighbors are taking care of each other again. https://t.co/d0FRoSexUm

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

In cities during a disaster, the first noise you usually hear when you poke your head outside is the sirens, @moody writes. But in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in rural North Carolina, “there was nothing but silence”: https://t.co/j8INtpnP8H

[Chris Moody @moody]

Watch @appstate journalism grad @mosbren discuss impact of #Helene on CNN. He is as close to the ground on this story as anyone. TV News bookers, Moss Brennan is who you want on your shows.

[Brianna Keilar @brikeilarcnn]

It looks like "bombs have been dropped" in some places around Boone, NC in Helene's wake, says Moss Brennan - local EMT and editor of the Watauga Democrat Newspaper.

Brennan says he and fellow first responders are "hoping we can find people - and hoping we find them alive."
