00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Bill cunning in the Great American Welcome this Flora. It's

2
00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Monday after in the Tri State, we have crises all

3
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>over the country, especially North Carolina. Red Spaseball concluded they're

4
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:16.719
<v Speaker 1>not in last place. That one game out of last place,

5
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.640
<v Speaker 1>so I guess this season was a moderate success. Bengals

6
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>one and three. On Sunday they play the Ravens here,

7
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>we'll see what happens. But until then, we have literal

8
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.239
<v Speaker 1>crises happening all over the country, especially now in North Carolina.

9
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 1>It appears that Florida is somewhat prepared for these events.

10
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Terrible damage in Florida. But let's face it, Florida's prepared

11
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>for hurricanes. But I can't be said about North Carolina.

12
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>We have so many friends and family from this area

13
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 1>that have homes and places outside of the Tri State,

14
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>including North Carolina. Yours truly has spent quite a bit

15
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>of time at Maggie Valley, North Carolina, which is in

16
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>the mountains right over the line going up twenty six

17
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and I four, beautiful scenic, but that has been destroyed

18
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.439
<v Speaker 1>because of the kindness of Richard K. Jones, the sheriff

19
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>of Butler County. He has relationship with Sheriff Sam Page

20
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 1>of Randolph. I'm sorry of Rockingham County, North Carolina, and

21
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Sheriff Page, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first

22
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>of all, Sheriff, can you describe as this storm was

23
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 1>developing in the south and North Carolina? Normally done prepare

24
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>for hurricanes, that's that's a Florida difficulty. But in the

25
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 1>day or two before what happened Thursday, Friday and Saturday,

26
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>what was the what was the availability of warnings and

27
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>things of that character in your section of North Carolina.

28
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Well as I understand and plus what I observed is

29
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, we had tornado warnings throughout most of Friday,

30
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 2>owned it off Friday, Uh, there were a lot of

31
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>warnings of potential a lot of rain coming, particularly in

32
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 2>the western part of the state.

33
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.959
<v Speaker 3>I'm in the Piedmont area and then to our west is.

34
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>The area that was a highly affected, horrific situation and

35
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>damaged and loss of lives, terrible, terrible situation. But a

36
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of a lot of winds and a lot of

37
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.680
<v Speaker 2>rains coming from the hurricane at Leen.

38
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.239
<v Speaker 1>And as the storm hit on Friday and Saturday. We're

39
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about Monday afternoon in a moment or two.

40
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>But as the storm hit, was there some was there

41
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>some indication that there are things was gonna be literally

42
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>a disaster for western North Carolina? Was there a sense

43
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>this is almost a biblical what's happening. Was there a

44
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>sense just as the storm was hitting, You're about to

45
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 1>have something that never happened before in Nashville? Was there

46
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>that was there that level of apprehension.

47
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think everybody was responding to this u the

48
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 2>oncoming storm, but nobody expected. I don't think anybody expected

49
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 2>to this to this level of damage. I mean, you've

50
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.120
<v Speaker 2>got dams that were uh were damaged, You've got uh

51
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 2>extensive flooding from rivers and roadways destroyed. It's it looks

52
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>like somebody went in, you know, like the town of

53
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Rock, I understand, was was totally leveled by the

54
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 2>by the extensive amount of water that came through there,

55
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 2>from the from the floods and from the from the

56
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>rain and everything coming together in the winds and everything.

57
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.759
<v Speaker 2>So it was just a terrible situation. I feel so

58
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>feel so bad for everybody up there. You know what

59
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>happened in course, you know, there was a lot of

60
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 2>loss of lives and IM understand it. There's some people

61
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 2>that are still missing up there in the actual area.

62
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>And as far as I forty and I twenty six,

63
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I had a report from the AP a few hours

64
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 1>ago that there are bridges, small little bridges that are out.

65
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.439
<v Speaker 1>There's massive mud slides up and down I forty and

66
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I twenty six. It's impassable. And if you would have

67
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>wanted to get you and your mind, you're only about

68
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.439
<v Speaker 1>three hours away from Ashville, and you're in the little

69
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>you're east of that in the Piedmont. But if your

70
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 1>guys wanted to get there to Asheville, North Carolina, how

71
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>would you do it?

72
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 3>That's a good question.

73
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Through the North Coline Sheriff's Association, we got a program

74
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Sheriffs Helping Sheriffs, So throughout the day, I know we'll

75
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>be receiving additional information if we if we can send

76
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.159
<v Speaker 2>some help, what they'll tell us exactly what is needed

77
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 2>and where it's needed at and then we'll be able

78
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.120
<v Speaker 2>to be provided a route of travel. But you know you,

79
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 2>like I said, normally Interstate forty we can make it

80
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>to ash with a good three hours. But with all

81
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>the damage on outer State forty on and off in

82
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.479
<v Speaker 2>the bridges and then coming you know, I understand coming

83
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.840
<v Speaker 2>into Tennessee into forty and also Interstate twenty thick, which

84
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 2>is a major north south route Interstate U.

85
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 3>With all that damage and all the water damage.

86
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Again, we will have to wait for some instructions to

87
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>tell us which way is the route. I was speaking

88
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>with our Mercy Management director just a while to go,

89
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 2>and he's in the area in McDowell County near Marion,

90
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 2>and he was explaining that, you know, it is passable

91
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 2>on forty to get up to that point.

92
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 3>But again, like I said, beyond that, you know, we

93
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 3>don't we don't.

94
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Have an additional information by understanding with all the rain

95
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 2>and damage that you know, the communications A lot of

96
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 2>you say the communication is out up there also, so

97
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 2>we kind of we're watching our news reports and and

98
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 2>of course as we get more information to the association,

99
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.879
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what we need to do. We're doing food

100
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 2>collections right now in our in our agec across our county.

101
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 2>There's several churches that are putting together supplies such as

102
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 2>drinking water is very important, UH understand, fuel for generators,

103
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.959
<v Speaker 2>non perishable food products, flass flights and batteries and personal

104
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>hygiene items.

105
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 3>So all those items are important.

106
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 2>So if you've got a church you know, you know

107
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>in your area that want to help, UH, you need to.

108
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 2>You'll need to connect up with the either emergency management

109
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 2>here in North Carolina UH to get information or here locally.

110
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:24.240
<v Speaker 3>UH You'll check, you'll you'll check with it.

111
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 2>You'll see some of the local churches listing where they're

112
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 2>doing collection points. And then like I said, you know,

113
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 2>we're we're gonna be a collection point from the.

114
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Next two weeks here in our county.

115
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 2>And of course as we go throughout the day and

116
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.720
<v Speaker 2>the next few days, we'll see what the needs are

117
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 2>if we can send some of our staff with a

118
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 2>small agency, but you know, we'll do our part working

119
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.720
<v Speaker 2>with other law enforcement to help where we can.

120
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.639
<v Speaker 1>And so I understand that it's accessible only by air

121
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.759
<v Speaker 1>because there are routes that have been completely destroyed. I

122
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.079
<v Speaker 1>had a report earlier that will take years for I

123
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.360
<v Speaker 1>forty to be repaired because of the bridges and the mudslides.

124
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>Interstate Highway several bridges are out of those will take

125
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>a long time. IGH twenty six the same way. If

126
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.519
<v Speaker 1>it's unreachable by the ground the only way to get

127
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>there is through the air, and the needs are great,

128
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>whether it's cell phone tires, whether it's hygiene products, whether

129
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 1>it's water, whether it's food. There's no communication. Is that

130
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>section in North Carolina at this point, Sheriff Sam Page

131
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.399
<v Speaker 1>largely inaccessible? And are they by themselves and a loan?

132
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:23.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll say this is I know that a lot of

133
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>your major roads, like we just stated, have been damaged.

134
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I haven't personally been up there, and I'm just getting

135
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.199
<v Speaker 2>missing piece of information right now. But the best way

136
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:35.879
<v Speaker 2>is to keep posted just to see what's coming out

137
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.560
<v Speaker 2>on the on the local news, uh, what's being broadcast

138
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.800
<v Speaker 2>about you, if someone's trying to help somebody. The State

139
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Mercy Management is probably gonna be your best source of

140
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 2>information about if you're trying to get up in the area.

141
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 2>But you know, if you if you don't need to

142
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>be up in an area, it probably do not need

143
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.360
<v Speaker 2>to travel because there's still a lot of dangers with

144
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>the water and with the swift waters is going down

145
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.279
<v Speaker 2>and and you know, like I said, it's just a

146
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.079
<v Speaker 2>lot of it's a lot of destruction up there, and

147
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 2>that probably you know, only people that need to be

148
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.519
<v Speaker 2>up there and and if the people are going up

149
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.439
<v Speaker 2>there to help need to be up there at this time.

150
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.959
<v Speaker 1>Sheriff Sam Page or North Carolina? Where's FEMA? You would

151
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>think the Federal Emergency Management? Where is FEMA?

152
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:17.800
<v Speaker 3>I can't.

153
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.399
<v Speaker 2>I can't speak to FEMA. I was seeing I'm watching

154
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 2>on TV just a little bit ago, uh, from the

155
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Office of the President. But I haven't seen the broadcast yet.

156
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.319
<v Speaker 2>But I'm sure FEMA will be brought online uh in

157
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.639
<v Speaker 2>working with Emergency Management shortly. I assume they will be

158
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.399
<v Speaker 2>just I. I just haven't seen any broadcast. Received the

159
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 2>information through our sources.

160
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.279
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever you've been around a long time, Sheriff

161
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Sam Page, have you ever seen this level of destruction

162
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>in western North Carolina in your career?

163
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:47.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I have in my I've lived in

164
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.160
<v Speaker 2>I've lived in Rockham County most of my life, and

165
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.839
<v Speaker 2>with exception of being in the military now, I never have.

166
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Katrina. Is is one's going that comes to mind?

167
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 2>You know? Uh, Hurricane Andrew, you know, destroyed one of

168
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 2>the as I was stationed a down in Miami area

169
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.519
<v Speaker 2>back when I was in service. But and the enforced

170
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Mount Conetuba Manetubo in the Philippines that exploded and erupted

171
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.600
<v Speaker 2>and destroyed the base where we were stationed at. So

172
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.360
<v Speaker 2>those are some areas that you know that that come

173
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.439
<v Speaker 2>to mind. But no, I don't think in North Carolina

174
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 2>we've ever seen anything to this level.

175
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>And in fact, North Carolina doesn't get ready for hurricanes.

176
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 1>In the Piedmont up in the mountains, it doesn't. It

177
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>doesn't equate. I spent time in Naples, Florida, and we

178
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 1>were you know, Florida's kind of ready for this, They're

179
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. But North Carolinians aren't ready for hurricanes generally,

180
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>unless you might be on the coast. But even that's

181
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>a very very rare event. So this is a shock. Well,

182
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>uh is there. I'm gonna Matthew twenty five Ministries is

183
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:45.440
<v Speaker 1>located here and they have trucks rolling. We're going to

184
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.200
<v Speaker 1>communicate through the website to let people know where to

185
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>give money. Matthew's twenty five is going to focus there

186
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 1>are a great charity to focus on North Carolina because

187
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Florida can largely take care of itself. Although big problems

188
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.279
<v Speaker 1>are in Florida. What they know what they're doing with hurricanes,

189
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I can same camp Be said about Asheville, North Carolina.

190
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 1>And for those who have not been there, it's in

191
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.039
<v Speaker 1>the mountains at the bottom of a valley. There's rivers

192
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 1>all over the place. The dams are gone, the rivers

193
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>have overflowed, cities have been wiped out. One media reporter

194
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:14.440
<v Speaker 1>head over a thousand people missing, with cars and trucks

195
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and fans floating away houses going down the river. And

196
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.440
<v Speaker 1>at this point, what's the weather condition this afternoon right now?

197
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>What's going on in western North Carolina?

198
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:23.039
<v Speaker 3>Weatherwise?

199
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:26.919
<v Speaker 2>From what I watched on the local news and weather,

200
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 2>we maybe get a little bit of rain, but that

201
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.679
<v Speaker 2>had that shouldn't uh nowhere near what would came in

202
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>on uh, you know, Thursday and Friday. So I would

203
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.000
<v Speaker 2>ask everybody to say a prayer for all of our

204
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 2>first responders and all the persons are coming here and helping.

205
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 2>And there's the American Purse or Red Cross and another

206
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.720
<v Speaker 2>other agencies and Mercy Manager, a lot of a lot

207
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.600
<v Speaker 2>of people responding. It's the location to help. Just keep

208
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.240
<v Speaker 2>them in your prayers, you know, because this is a

209
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 2>tough time for North Carolina. But you know, we're resvant,

210
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.679
<v Speaker 2>we'll we'll we'll get through this. But it's gonna be

211
00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:59.080
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna take a long time, and so just keep

212
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.600
<v Speaker 2>everybody in your thoughts and for and look for safety.

00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>compared to these kind of issues, but it's important to
