What happens when you run out of gas or lack the ability(electricity) to pump it?

Outage tracker.
Electricity restoration looking good in Florida. Less than 10,000 out.
SC, NC and Ga still with a good bit of outages but getting better. Of course better is relative if you’re the one without.
Kudos to those linemen working their asses off.

Mission Hospital, the regional trauma center, is continuing to be a hospital, and they have running water by bringing in tanker trucks.
They are even getting ready for what they call the second wave: bacterial illnesses tied to the un-sterile conditions people are surviving with.

I left Asheville today and drove to Charlotte to escape this second wave of illnesses.
With no water and people shitting in the streets, Asheville will rapidly become India.
I didn’t have Cholera outbreak on my bingo card.

This is not unexpected. You'll get the bill if you're ever Life Flighted to a hospital. He'll, you get billed for an ambulance.

Most of the Swannanoa area got hit really hard. I saw a long drone video of the area earlier, but I doubt I could find it again

I fear that will be the next wave that ravages the area.

Zero doubt that people are using the bathroom outside but people aren't popping a squat in the middle of the road to shite.
The amount of hyperbole that comes out after disasters is nuts. shite is and enough without exaggeration.

Tennessee
I haven't heard much about the TN side, seem most of the horror stories about mudslides and floods wiping out entire blocks and infrastructure looking like a bomb went off is on the NC side.
I know Erwin had the hospital flooded and that bridge over the Nolichucky by Uncle Johnny's got wiped out. I think the stretch there by 19E/Roan Mtn got hit pretty good too.
What about Greenville, Johnson City, Newport, and places down river towards Knoxville? Any NC style destruction or just more typical hurricane/flooding ST damage?
I assume topography and watershed plays a big part, as well as the actual path and rotation of the storm itself. Just seems I hear 100x more about NC being absolutely destroyed and wasn't sure if it was because TN was more fortunate or the news from over there just hadn't crossed my radar as much.

What about Greenville, Johnson City, Newport, and places down river towards Knoxville? Any NC style destruction or just more typical hurricane/flooding ST damage?
Upper East TN had at least six inches of rain before the Helena Rains hit and we were on the dryer side of Helena.
Greenville had both flooding and lost their city water supply. It took them days to find pumps and replace the building along the river.
Johnson City was fortunate not to be on the river .
Up northeast of Johnson City, there was a lot of damage; one county was said to be totally isolated and nothing from them.
Newport had massive flooding though the downtown area.
DelRio on both sides of the river had many feet of water.
Knoxville had rain.and lots of power outages and downed trees.
Huge numbers of people had no power, some for almost a week. The map I linked to a bit before this will show you how many roads still aren't passable. I-40 had both land slide and rock slides but also had the river there undercut I -40 on both the NC and TN sides of the border. When I say undercut, not just move some riprap, but remove soil totally leaving only hanging asphalt and not a hint of where the guard rails might have ended up
The mountains on the NC side had been "discovered and people had built a lot up on the mountains. The fires around Gatlinburg several years ago somewhat slowed things on our side.
We won't know for months how bad the human fatalities are, how destroyed the forests are in places, even if the mud slides have stabilized as the winter rains com.

I’ve seen a lot of before and after videos where water has come up and obviously washed land roads away.
At some point though this water has to subside. I get they won’t be able to pave new road right away but they should be able to bulldoze a road. Lay down limestone and help some of these folks?
