Hurricane Helene has finished its trek up the eastern seaboard from the Gulf of Mexico, and one of the hardest-hit areas in its path was Asheville, N.C., and the surrounding region, which is in absolute chaos. The Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) account on X shared the following video footage of a young man explaining the horrors taking place in Asheville as most roads in and out of the area of blocked off or destroyed. Looters and vandals are also ransacking the city, the young man explains. "There were some truckers coming in with supplies and medical stuff trying to help us," the man says, adding that people were slashing the tires of these supply trucks at rest stops. "The roads are completely blocked off. You're not getting out. If you have a weapon, keep it on you because there are people intentionally sabotaging stuff." (Related: Last fall, portfolio manager Ed Dowd warned that America was descending into a "slow Mad Max" scenario as a financial collapse looms.)

Everything can change in an instant

The same guy from the above video put out a second video – watch below – in which he asks the world for help. The Asheville area is without electricity, food, water and in many cases, gasoline. Watch as he describes Asheville post-Helene as feeling like a "war zone." Law enforcement is stretched too thinly as it tries to deal with both the environmental fallout from the storm as well as the social fallout. The Walmart store where the young man works in Leicester, located just west of Asheville, is flooded out and non-operational. The area as a whole remains off-limits except for aid that arrives by airplane or mule since many roads are washed out or gone. Officials are turning away some of the people who are arriving to help because of further threats to infrastructure, i.e., a bridge collapse. "I can't help but feel there is something more sinister going on with the response to Hurricane Helene," tweeted The Greenback (@GreenbackNote) on X. "Chaos is breaking out with seemingly no federal aid. Whole communities wiped out and it's barely on the news." "Doesn't this feel like it's part of their plan to disrupt the election?" asked another. "How much of a pathetic lowlife do you have to be to slash tires on truckers who are trying to deliver supplies to an area that was just devastated?" tweeted someone else. "Find them, lock them up and throw away the key." Others expressed shock and horror that not even the National Guard is on site to help remediate the disaster, especially after the Biden regime just sent more American service members to the Middle East to help Israel. "This has Maui vibes where help was purposely blocked or sabotaged," expressed another about the disturbing false flag implications of this terrible storm. "The National Guard should be there enforcing law, guarding supply lines, and helping protect the vulnerable." These horrific events are part of the beginning of sorrows. Find out more at Chaos.news.
