Duke energy is owned by blackrock. These homeowners should sue blackrock for negligence. They have the money. Why am I not surprised, why is blackrock behind every sleazy thing happening in the world . They own a lions share of tractor supply and during the lockdown they screwing with the amount of protein in the chicken feed so chickens weren’t producing eggs. They were heavily involved in purchasing up single family homes and steering the real estate market. That company should be sued and dismantled, they are a menace to humanity. I’m exercising my first amendment right.

Utility companies and even the TVA and the US Army Corps of Engineers have yet to be able to successfully handle "100 year" floods...let alone these so-called "1000 year" events we've been seeing. There is no "safe" place in a river basin...dams or no...all that water has to get down stream.

I can't even imagine what you're going through. 💔 My heart broke when you said they don't see you as a human being. I read an article the other day and some journalists thought it would be a good idea to breakdown what has been given to the hurricane victims and what has been sent to Lebanon. It made me sick, mad, and embarrassed. How could anyone think it would be a good idea to compare who was receiving more federal aid? They tend to forget that this aid comes from the tax-paying American Citizens. He was trying to defend the Government saying the hurricane victims have gotten more money than Lebanon. American Citizens shouldn't be mad at where their tax dollars are going? We've earned that money to be used to better our own country not to be taking care of people who chant death to America. To many people have forgotten that every penny the government spends is provided by the American taxpayers and every penny borrowed has to be paid back by the American taxpayers. I've always been a problem solver, but how to solve how our American Citizens are treated by those who have so much power that they can ruin lives, hell they ended lives and our government is silent or just calls the people liars. Thinking we shouldn't be pissed off that all of our money isn't going back to help our people. I haven't had so much anger, sadness, disappointment built up in myself as I do now because of how so many have failed all of you. 😢 It hurts that I don't know how to get people to understand that our country's leaders aren't here for all of their people.

Duke energy did not operate any dam as it should be. in Western NC too many people are hooked to the hydro electric system. This makes Duke energy keep higher than safe levels of water in the Dams. Duke Energy did not release the water to safe levels 2 weeks prior to the Hurricane. The week prior to the hurricane was all heavy rain that they should have started releasing water then. But they did not. Duke energy is responsible for the tragic deaths of hundreds and the Displacement of Thousands, along with damages in the billions. The company needs to be stripped of all hydro electric operations and pay for all reconstruction in Western NC. Also the TVA is to blame.

They even reference that the company is regulated as to what expectable levels of each lake are for normal amounts of water. The two people interviewed are obviously mad that this company decided not to flood lake Norman as much as the other lakes.

More than likely they were doing what they did to protect the dam from failing. Can you imagine how much more the damage would have been if they did nothing and the dam was over ran and eventually washed out!

Dams are built for different reasons, but the problem is it allows people to live in areas that they shouldn’t. When flood waters get too high dams become more of a problem. If they allow the natural floodplains to work as they should and not build homes in those areas, these things would not happen. Dams can fail and they can build up a lot of silt behind them, which raises the level of the river behind them and then the water has nowhere to go but out to the floodplain..

The 'needs of many vs needs of a few' issue. The power companies nationwide deal with these choices. But I do fault them for not providing a warning to current and future land owners that due to safety issues, some areas might have far more flooding than areas immediately adjacent. It could have been mailed in letters or better still, put into deeds. In GA, some counties have deed contain a clause advising buyers that adjacent properties have agricultural operations which might generate odors. People know 'going in' so to speak.

Lake/Reservoir level management had priorities for best outcomes for everyone: 1) Maintaining the health of the dam(s) because of they collapse through uncontrolled water release everybody is going to be in worse condition and additional lives lost. (See Oroville Dam in california and the near miss they had with excess water behind the dam) Maintaining safe operation of the nuclear energy facilities. Nuclear reactors require water to maintain control of the facilities. Lack of water control means potential for meltdown. Should be self explanatory. If it is a choice between flooding some homes and businesses or collapse of the dam or a nuclear melt down there is no choice. These dams did offer protection to some extent as downhill flooding would have even worse without them. Hopefully there are things to learn to have even better function in this water network.

The graph is pretty clear. The people aren’t imagining what happened. This is what happens when you let companies take control of essential infrastructure. Power, waste, water, and things required by government, should be under the authority of government. Tree trimming near power lines in FL went to the pits when the power companies were allowed to decide when, where, and how it got done. If your neighbors tree branch is blowing into a line and catching fire, they won’t cut it until it is a small distance away while at rest. A foot, if I recall. And if you want to get it cut sooner, there is a monopoly on tree cutting companies with training to do it near a power line. It will cost you bunches. Plus…you can’t cut a neighbors tree if it will kill the tree. It’s a mess, unless you happen to be a power company or a tree service that starts with an A…for them, it’s good times on the way to the bank!

I don't know. San Diego had a pretty bad flood recently and it's directly because the local government failed to maintain the drainage ways. You act like government employees are above being incompetent or getting bribed by private interest.

@@allisterforest1842 Is it that, or is like happened to Brevard County in FL? They didn’t hire enough workers to maintain the ditches. Which wouldn’t have been a big deal if all the low lands hadn’t been filled and turned into housing developments with zero lot line yards.

i been looking at things, directions and wondering if these lakes, damns, controlled water systems, if they had decompressed or let out some of the water during and before worst of storm, if the floods would have been as bad once it hit... knowing how bad they were saying it would be.

you are right but why would they let the water out when they seeded the clouds and filled them up. From what I have gathered is Wyoming is next.

Nobody should live in those ravines unless 40' up off the river. Real expensive to cut a flat on a mountain side with good drainage. These people inherit it so they live there. God bless them but the rain eventually will take their homes.

I guess you and I look at this differently. First, you can't compare this to Florida. This flooding isn't something that happens every year. Even if all of these people had flood insurance, their insurance would be denied and not cover any of their damages. There's this clause that's called the Earth Movement clause. If they had any earth movement even if the movement was caused by flooding payment is denied. Entire towns have been wiped out, are you saying that these towns did this to themselves? Do you get mad knowing that so much of the American tax dollars are leaving America and not helping our own? Imagine how the money we have provided for all of these illegal aliens could have helped our own people. I'm not against immigration, hell I sponsored a migrant who was here legally on an H-2B work visa over 20 years ago. It pisses me off knowing that I spent over 15k in lawyer fees and now my tax dollars are supporting illegal immigration into our country money that should be helping these people, our people, America's people. Why is it wrong to want our tax dollars to go these victims instead of going to illegal aliens, countries that these illegals are coming from, to countries that chant death to America, why is this wrong? Why aren't you mad about this? All you can say is that it's on them for living there. Aren't you tired of taking care of other countries that do nothing for us?
