Call for help leads to massive relief effort in Atmore from one tribe to another
SUMMARY: A relief effort initiated by a text requesting water has led to significant support for flood-affected areas in Cherokee, North Carolina. Within 48 hours, nearly 40,000 bottles of water have been distributed to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and surrounding communities. Wind Creek has already sent two truckloads of supplies, including cleaning products, food, diapers, and baby wipes, to aid recovery. The donation drive is open to all, emphasizing community solidarity in times of disaster. Donations are accepted daily from 7 AM to 7 PM, with plans to extend support beyond North Carolina to Georgia and Florida as needed.
Hurricane Helene left a path of destruction through six states. One week later, the only thing bigger than the storm may be the effort to help storm victims recover.

How to Get Your Home Ready for the Winter | Nov. 21, 2024 | News 19 at 6 p.m.
SUMMARY: As temperatures drop in the Tennessee Valley, many are experiencing issues with their heating systems, prompting concerns about burning smells. This is often due to dust buildup, which is typically harmless if it dissipates within 5 to 10 minutes. To avoid heating problems, experts recommend scheduling a system tune-up and ensuring that all entrances have proper weather stripping to prevent heat loss. Regularly replacing air filters also helps maintain the system’s efficiency. For energy savings, the U.S. Department of Energy suggests setting thermostats as low as comfortably possible.
With the drop in temperatures, comes an increase in the number of people cranking up the heat for the first time since last winter.
