FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
On Saturday night, the train passengers stranded near rural Prince, West
Virginia, were loaded into buses after they got stuck at 11 p.m. the
previous evening, said Amtrak spokesman Steve Kulm. Kulm said the train
bound from New York to Chicago had power, so lights and air conditioning
were working. He said that since it’s a long-distance train, it was stocked
with food and crew members were able to get to town to buy more.
About 170 miles (274 kilometers) to the northeast in Morgantown, West
Virginia, Jeff and Alice Haney loaded their cart at Lowe’s with cases of
water, extra flashlights and batteries, and wiring for the generator they
hoped would be enough to kick-start their air conditioner. Even if they had
to live without cool air, the family had a backup plan.
“We have a pool,” Jeff Haney said, “so we’ll be OK.”
The storm did damage from Indiana to New Jersey, although the bulk of it was
in West Virginia, Washington and suburban Virginia and Maryland. At least
six of the dead were killed in Virginia, including a 90-year-old woman
asleep in bed when a tree slammed into her home. Two young cousins in New
Jersey were killed when a tree fell on their tent while camping. Two were
killed in Maryland, one in Ohio, one in Kentucky and one in Washington.
Illinois corrections officials transferred 78 inmates from a prison in Dixon
to the Pontiac Correctional Center after storms Friday night caused
significant damage, Department of Corrections spokeswoman Stacey Solano said.
No one was injured, Solano said. Generators are providing power to the prison,
which is locked down, confining remaining inmates to their cells.
Utility officials said it could take at least several days to restore power to
all customers because of the sheer magnitude of the outages and the
destruction. Winds and toppled trees brought down entire power lines, and
debris has to be cleared from power stations and other structures. All of
that takes time and can’t be accomplished with the flip of a switch.
“This is very unfortunate timing,” said Myra Oppel, a spokeswoman
for Pepco, which reported over 400,000 outages in Washington and its
suburbs. “We do understand the hardship that this brings, especially
with the heat as intense at is. We will be working around the clock until we
get the last customer on.”
Especially at risk were children, the sick and the elderly. In Charleston,
West Virginia, firefighters helped several people using walkers and
wheelchairs get to emergency shelters
The storm that whipped through the region Friday night was called a derecho
(duh-RAY’-choh) , a straight line wind storm that sweeps over a large area
at high speed. It can produce tornado-like damage. The storm, which can pack
wind gusts of up to 90 mph (145 kph), began in the Midwest, passed over the
Appalachian Mountains and then drew new strength from a high pressure system
as it hit the southeastern U.S., said Bryan Jackson, a meteorologist with
the National Weather Service.
“It’s one of those storms,” Jackson said. “It just plows
through.”
