I’m writing this message near the end of October, 2024. Just two weeks before the November election. So much is happening every day now. Some have asked, so I just want to let you all know that I absolutely
doplan to put together a message on Hurricane Helene — and the destruction of Eastern Tennessee, and North Carolina in particular. But just as I did a year ago when they burned down the town of Lahaina on Maui, I’m in the process of gathering information, doing research and double-checking sources before I put any sort of commentary together. This is too important. I need to get it right, and it’s going to take, very likely, several hundred hours of preparation before I begin writing.
I do want to say, however, for anyone in those areas able to hear or read this message, you have not been forgotten. I would also very much like to speak with people who live in those areas, and we do have subscribers to our newspaper there, but I only have mailing addresses; it’s doubtful the mail is going through. I don’t have phone numbers, even if the phones were working. So, if, by chance, someone in the path of the storm in North Carolina gets this message, please do get in touch with me. I need to speak to you directly, as soon as possible.
I will make a few comments about Hurricane Hel ...
