Dr. Phil Travels to North Carolina and Finds Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse Is Putting FEMA to Shame:

Dr. Phil McGraw praised the work that Franklin Graham’s relief organization Samaritan’s Purse is doing to help the victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.

It is putting the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s work to shame.

“Let me tell you, these [Samaritan’s Purse] guys don’t have meetings to fill out forms to plan a meeting to get something going. They have verbs in their sentences. They have springs in their step, and they’re out making things happen,” McGraw said.

FEMA, all these other people are talking, thinking. No, not Samaritan’s Purse. They’re out doing things,” he added.
 
...The video included an older couple who apparently had told McGraw’s team that FEMA had not shown up. In fact, the private relief workers were the first people they had seen.
 
Edward Graham, the son of Franklin Graham and the chief operating officer of Samaritan’s Purse, told Fox News host Lawrence Jones on Monday that western North Carolina is a war zone and reminds him of places he had seen while in the military.

Graham is a West Point graduate, who served for 16 years in the U.S. Army, including in Special Operations with multiple combat deployments.

“There’s been a lot of criticism of the federal government’s response to this,” Jones said. “The one organization that I continue to hear from all the locals that we speak to is Samaritan’s Purse: ‘We see them on the ground.'”

Graham responded that they’re working on distributing their aid through local churches and volunteer fire departments.

“They’re going to make sure they get the needs to where they need to do first. They will prioritize,” he said. “We give it them, and it’s working quickly.”

Graham recounted that Samaritan’s Purse has 10 helicopters operating in the region, including Black Hawks they have leased.

Former President Donald Trump has also partnered with Samaritan’s Purse, bringing in truckloads of supplies to Georgia last week.

Is the US government using weather modification technology to strengthen hurricanes?

With ultra-violent hurricanes like Milton and Helene threatening devastation in key swing states just weeks before the presidential election, some people are questioning: Have these storms been manipulated by the government? 

This is not a hyperbolic question. There are many reasons why a person (or a group of persons) who have the ability to do something like this would steer these tools of devastation at key electoral states like Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and their neighbors.  

Some of those reasons are discussed in an eye-opening interview Colonel Douglas MacGregor did with Dane Wigington of Geo-Engineering Watch 

Wigington says it is “undeniable” that these hurricanes have been manipulated with “atmospheric pressure zones” and other technology. He says they are part of a “weather warfare” program that the government began experimenting with in the 1940s under Project Cirrus. 

The timing factor involved here cannot be overlooked either. 

It’s no secret that Trump cannot win the presidency without Georgia and North Carolina, both of which have been trending “lean-Republican” instead of “reliably-Republican” in recent weeks, or so the pollsters tell us. 

Hurricane Helene has devastated the towns of people who typically vote Republican. As noted by former Obama adviser David Axelrod on a recent podcast, that destruction is, at least in his eyes, more likely to suppress their turnout rate than liberal Democrats. 

Another possibility that cannot be discounted is that these hurricanes have been used to straight-up punish these people, who Barack Obama once infamously belittled as “clinging” to their “guns and religion.”  

Said another way, the devastation wrought by these storms might just be a way to destroy their spirit and kick them while they are down as their country is taken away from them and given to hostile foreigners pouring in over the border.

The media’s behavior in all this has been quite telling as well. They have seemingly been happy to run articles on how FEMA doesn’t have enough money for people in these states.... Meanwhile, Transportation Secretary Peter Buttigieg has told residents to stop trying to help their neighbors and just let federal officials handle it.

Recovery efforts underway in North Carolina as Helene death toll tops 250 across 7 states:

Nearly three weeks after Helene swept through the Southeast, many communities are still reeling from its impacts as the extent of its devastation is coming into focus.

At least 251 people are dead from Helene's devastation across seven states. 

Some families continue to live without water or power, describing their situation as camping inside their own homes, according to FOX Weather Correspondent Katie Byrne.

The lack of infrastructure has forced some people to retrieve water from nearby rivers and streams with buckets so they may use the water to flush their toilets.

Cleanup begins in Valencia after Spain’s worst floods in history claim over 200 lives:

Cleanup operations have begun across Valencia, which has been declared a disaster zone by Spain’s prime minister after more than a year’s worth of rain in just one day caused the country’s worst floods on record. Since Tuesday, October 29, 2024, the flooding has claimed over 200 lives and left dozens missing. Three days of mourning have been declared nationwide as Valencia faces severe damage with impassable roads, destroyed bridges, and overflowing rivers submerging homes in neck-deep waters.

The catastrophic floods were triggered by torrential rainfall from a rare weather event known as Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos (DANA). This phenomenon occurs when a mass of cold air in the upper atmosphere meets warm, moisture-rich air below, creating highly unstable conditions that lead to intense storm clouds and heavy downpours.

Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) reported that the town of Chiva experienced 491 mm (19.33 inches) in only eight hours, with 344 mm (13.55 inches) falling over four hours and an astounding 165 mm (6.5 inches) within just one hour on Tuesday.

The flooding is already considered Spain’s worst flood-related disaster in living memory. Additionally, due to many missing people, this tragedy has the potential to become Europe’s deadliest storm-related disaster in over half a century.

New Yorkers urged to conserve water after driest October in 150 years:

New York’s mayor urged residents to take shorter showers, fix dripping faucets and otherwise conserve water, issuing a drought watch Saturday after a parched October in the city and in much of the United States.

A drought watch is the first of three potential levels of water-saving directives, and Eric Adams pitched it in a social media video as a step to try to ward off the possibility of a worse shortage in the United States’ most populous city.

He ordered all city agencies to get ready to implement their water-conservation plans, and asked the public to do its part by, for example, turning off taps while brushing teeth and sweeping sidewalks instead of hosing them down.

“Mother Nature is in charge, and so we must make sure we adjust,” said Adams, a Democrat.

Parts of Spain appear to merge with the sea after historic rain in before-and-after images:

The deadly flooding that rocked Spain this week following intense, historic rainfall is so expansive and severe the area looked like an inland sea from space.

(CNN) — The deadly flooding that rocked Spain this week following intense, historic rainfall is so expansive and severe the area looked like an inland sea from space.

A year’s worth of rain fell in just hours in east-central Spain Tuesday, creating a surge of floodwater that broke the banks of rivers, turned streets into raging rapids and washed away cars and bridges.

At least 155 people were killed in the catastrophic floods...

Floodwaters appear as various shades of blue and cover what was dry ground (browns and greens) earlier this month, the imagery shows. The dramatic, widespread coverage of floodwater over inland areas has almost turned coastal areas into islands.

SoCal: Evacuations Underway as Massive 772-Acre [much larger now] Wildfire Rages Out of Control in Pacific Palisades Amid Gusty Winds – People Panic and Abandon Their Cars! (VIDEOS)

Evacuations were underway as a massive wildfire raged out of control and engulfed homes in Pacific Palisades, California, on Tuesday.

According to AccuWeather, wind gusts reached up to 65 miles per hour in Southern California on Tuesday.

Shocking video of a ‘fire tornado’ was posted to X.

People panicked after they got stuck in traffic trying to flee the fire and abandoned their cars on Sunset Blvd.

The cars were being bulldozed to make room for emergency vehicles.

California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom was on ground watching his state burn down as Democrat legislators refuse to properly manage underbrush.

Live Updates: 5 Simultaneous Wildfires Threaten Lives, Homes in Los Angeles:

A raging wildfire that broke out in the mountains above the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA, Tuesday is spreading across the region due to extreme winds, causing historic destruction of homes and displacing thousands of people.

Follow Breitbart News for live coverage of this breaking news story. All times eastern.

11:46 AM — Two deaths reported in the Eaton Fire.

11:44 AM — President-elect Donald Trump says Gov. Gavin “Newscum” is to blame for the current crisis by restricting water distribution in favor of environmentalists’ concerns.

10:50 AM — A Los Angeles resident captured video of downed power lines sparking against trees Tuesday night.

10:40 AM — Officials identify five different wildfires that are “0% contained.”

9:29 AM — Elon Musk, who is extricating several of his businesses from California, blames “nonsense regulations” in the state for multiplying the damage and loss of life when fires break out.
8:35 AM — The Pacific Palisades disaster has renewed attention on the identity politics of Kristin Crowley, the first woman (and the first queer woman) to serve as LAFD Fire Chief. Crowley was sworn in to her post in March of 2022, and she and Mayor Eric Garcetti established a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Bureau in January 2023.
8:28 AM — The Screen Actors Guild cancels a live announcement of nominees for its annual awards show, and several film premieres have also been postponed.
8:23 AM — Businessman and former L.A. mayoral candidate Rick Caruso says the Pacific Palisades area has no water in the hydrants at the moment, accusing the local government of mismanaging resources like a “third-world country.”
And the worst could be yet to come.... 

...But other roads were blocked.... “People were getting out of the cars with their dogs and babies and bags, they were crying and screaming. The road was just blocked, like full-on blocked for an hour.”

Recent dry winds, including the notorious Santa Anas, have contributed to warmer-than-average temperatures in Southern California, where there’s been very little rain so far this season. Southern California hasn’t seen more than 0.1 inches (0.25 centimeters) of rain since early May.
