    1. LiFePO4 ( lithium iron phosphate ) batteries used in homes with solar power generation might be an issue if grid tied. Some LiFeP04 manufacturers stipulate that the warranty is only valid with internet connected batteries as some have wifi / bluetooth capabilities. If a person has switched to off grid, might want to ensure that you are completely disconnect from the utility. Pulling the electrical meter out does not give you a complete utility disconnection.

  2. Catherine and all of Solari,

    Watch the ILA video here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ojEKhhuiwfU if you haven’t already. This strike appears to be focused mainly on failed negotiations regarding AUTOMATION. The longshoremen have apparently been able to push back against being replaced by automation in their own contracts up until now. This is massive pushback and the video’s length is due to all the instances brought up about the longshoremen fighting back against automation.

  7. Would appreciate as many reports from hurricane and flood impact areas both in SE states and across the country. Most reliable reports are coming in from individuals to their network, so please post whenever you get intel from people you trust. THANKS!

      1. Attended a fiber optic industry conference (in Charlotte, NC) back in November 2019 which featured a keynote presentation on the process of turning Chattanooga into a Smart City. Here is a link to interview with the presenter from the conference in 2022:

        So the process there is pretty far along as all homes and businesses in that area have access to high speed broadband with fiber optic backbone.

        1. All I can say is wow.
          Flash floods are occurring in Thailand. Elephant Nature Park rescues hundreds of elephants used in logging, elephant riding etc. Lek Chailert also rescues dogs, cats, pigs, water buffalo etc. She had to move all these animals to higher ground. So far, they lost 2 elephants due to the flooding One elephant was blind. Both elephants drowned. Roads are blocked etc. I dont know how she is getting food to the animals. It is all very sad.
          The weaponizing of weather has to stop. The injury and death of people and animals is unacceptable.

      1. Chris Martenson is trustworthy.
        His Peak Prosperity member is most likely sharing reliable info.
        And if that is the case, the Helene Hurricane was a “hit”—
        a planned “hit” to mine the natural resource for the lithium, the quartz.

        And the underlying reality is that we are in a war with the fascist government who is one powerful enemy against the people.

    3. My Dad, Step-Mom, Sister, BIL, and niece/nephew live in Arden, NC which is very close to Asheville, NC. Neither have power or water. Sister is saying they are considering implementing mandatory evacuation because it will take 2 months for water to be restored. Last I heard, neither family is able to leave their homes due to downed trees/power lines. Is there anything specific you want to know? I can ask – my step-Mom can text occasionally.
      Also I assume you saw Peggy Hall’s recent interview with Dane Wigington discussing if the hurricane was natural or manipulated. I think Peggy is on to something – the Lithium in Gaston County & King’s Mountain County, NC…

      1. Blue Ridge Solari circle includes Alleghany and Ashe counties in NC along with Johnson City TN. We check in with each other from time to time. Alleghany and Johnson City members are safe and digging/cutting our way out. I get no response from our member in Lansing. Getting a little concerned since she lives on Horse Creek.

        1. Update on Blue Ridge Solari: Just connected with our Lansing member. Travel is restricted by washed out roads and bridges. National Guard is no-show. FEMA sent young boys in full tactical gear to walk around and see what’s happening. Locals have banded together to get things done. Backhoes, skid steers, tractors. She said neighbors are giving what they have to each other. One restaurant is cooking for locals. She is using her generator each day for a few hours. No one is waiting for the govt. to help.

          1. My step mom said the Mormons showed up in nice trucks and cut trees off of their road. She also said Ingles grocery store had empty shelves but Publix was fully stocked.

      2. Susan:
        Any reliable reports on what families and communities are experiencing on the ground is welcome.

        1. Nothing interesting from my family in Arden, NC. They were unable to leave their homes for a week, primarily due to downed trees. My sister evacuated as soon as she could leave on Day 7. My Dad & step-mom got power back on Day 8. They have a well so this means they have water too. They have still not left their home. The one crazy thing is this – they 100% believe everything they see on TV or read in the newspaper, fully Vaxxed,etc. They are news ‘addicts.’ They have been news-less for 1 week. I just talked to them – they are finally starting to question things… So if people unplug for 1 week only they will be able to think rationally again? Maybe there’s hope.

        2. Prayers for your family. Just hate to see this happen to so many good people.
