This is the story of a beach storm no one saw coming—and the lessons we can't afford to forget. In this episode of Storm Stories, Mayor Lynn Barbie of Carolina Beach helps us look back at the intense rainfall that hit Carolina Beach last year—a slow-motion disaster with no howling winds, no storm surge, just rising water and a community left to pick up the pieces. As the media focused on the devastating impacts of Helene and Milton, this storm and how it affected coastal North Carolina was easy to miss, as well as what happened after.Three steps we can take to build resilience and foster community collaboration:1. Advocate for Improved Stormwater Management• Residents can attend town hall meetings and voice support for investments in stormwater infrastructure, including upgrading drainage systems, retention ponds, and permeable surfaces.• Encourage local officials to apply for state and federal grants focused on flood mitigation.2. Promote Community Flood Preparedness• Form or join a local resilience task force to develop neighborhood-based flood preparedness plans.• Organize workshops with local meteorologists and emergency managers to educate residents on flood insurance, evacuation procedures, and emergency supply kits.3. Support Sustainable Land Use Policies• Advocate for responsible zoning laws that limit development in low-lying, flood-prone areas.• Encourage nature-based solutions like restoring wetlands, increasing green spaces, and maintaining coastal vegetation to absorb excess water.• Partner with environmental organizations to monitor and maintain stormwater management systems.Taking these steps would not only build resilience within the community but also foster collaboration between residents, policymakers, and environmental expertsPhotographer: Callaghan O'Hare/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesSupport the show

After a hurricane upends everything, the void left behind—solastalgia—can be as destabilizing as the storm itself. In this episode of Storm Stories, we hear from Angie Bailey of North Carolina's Broadband Infrastructure Office on efforts to bridge the digital divide, ensuring communities aren't cut off when they need connectivity the most. And in Utica, Mississippi, Carlton Turner reflects on bringing internet access to his town while grappling with the social and political costs of digital expansion.How to Evaluate Broadband Access in Your Community: A 10-Step Guide for Local LeadersAccess to reliable and affordable broadband is essential for education, work, healthcare, and economic growth. Yet, many communities still struggle with slow speeds, high costs, and service gaps. If you're a community leader looking to assess broadband access in your area, here's how you can take action.1. Start with a Listening TourTalk to residents, schools, businesses, and healthcare providers about their internet experience. Are there dead zones? Is service too expensive? Does it support remote work and learning? Gather real stories to guide your efforts.2. Run a Community Speed Test CampaignEncourage residents to test their internet speeds using tools like the FCC's Speed Test app or Measurement Lab. This will help you compare actual performance against what providers advertise.3. Identify Areas Without ServiceMap out which neighborhoods have little or no broadband access. This may include rural areas, low-income neighborhoods, or places where providers claim to offer service but don't.4. Survey Households and BusinessesCreate a simple online and paper survey asking residents about their internet provider, cost, reliability, and whether they feel their needs are being met. Schools and libraries can help distribute surveys.5. Check Internet AffordabilityInvestigate broadband prices in your area and whether residents can afford them. See if people qualify for federal programs like the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) but aren't using them.6. Meet with Internet ProvidersSet up meetings with local broadband providers to discuss coverage gaps, speed concerns, and future expansion plans. Ask about any upcoming infrastructure upgrades or partnerships they might be open to.7. Look for Funding OpportunitiesMany state and federal grants exist to expand broadband access, such as the BEAD Program (Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment). Work with local government or nonprofits to explore funding options.8. Build a Coalition for ChangeBring together schools, businesses, healthcare organizations, and local government to advocate for better broadband. Strong partnerships can drive real improvements.9. Push for Policy ChangesIf outdated regulations or monopoly control are blocking better service, work with elected officials to explore policy solutions, such as municipal broadband or open-access networks.10. Keep the Pressure OnBroadband expansion takes time. Keep tracking progress, sharing updates with your community, and holding providers and policymakers accountable until real improvements happen.Support the show

In 2018, Hurricane Florence devastated coastal North Carolina, leaving Yvonne Pittaway's home in Carteret County torn apart, and her missing it. After Hurricane Helene tore through North Carolina, residents faced more than just physical devastation, too—they grappled with the emotional aftermath. In this episode of Storm Stories, Brandon Romstadt of WNC Health Network shares how public health communicators crafted trauma-informed messaging to support storm survivors, while environmental epidemiologist Jen Runkle starts to talk about the intersection of disaster, sadness and fear that emerged after Hurricane Florence.Trauma-Informed Communication: 10 Essential Tips for NonprofitsEducate Your Team: Ensure all staff understand trauma and its effects.Empathic Language: Use language that validates feelings and experiences.Clarity is Key: Provide clear, consistent, and accessible information.Engage Community Voices: Involve survivors in shaping messaging.Prioritize Safety: Create messaging that avoids triggering traumatic memories.Focus on Strengths: Emphasize resilience and available support.Tailor Communication: Adapt messages for diverse audiences and needs.Use Multiple Channels: Distribute information via trusted platforms.Foster Trust: Maintain transparency about recovery efforts.Review and Adapt: Regularly assess and update communication strategies.Support the show

In this episode of Storm Stories, we explore the complexities of disaster giving, from the impact of misinformation to the critical need for long-term recovery efforts. Through expert insights Stephanie Watkins-Cruz  and of the North Carolina Housing Coalition and Tanya Gulliver-Garcia the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and we uncover the systemic challenges of funding rural and invisible disasters, the power of media-driven donations, and the importance of rethinking how we respond to extreme weather events like Hurricane Helene.  To create this story we read and listened to quite a bit of the work done by the Center for Disaster Philanthropy.  Below is a summary of our notes. 10 Lessons Inspired by the Center for Disaster PhilanthropyDisaster recovery demands more than immediate relief. The Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) has shown how intentional funding and planning can strengthen communities. Here are ten takeaways inspired by their work:Invest in Long-Term RecoveryEmergency response is just the start. True recovery happens in the years that follow when rebuilding homes, infrastructure, and trust.Support Underserved CommunitiesDisasters often hit marginalized populations hardest. Prioritizing equity ensures no one is left behind.Empower Local LeadershipLocal leaders know their communities best. Trust them to identify and implement solutions.Fund HolisticallyFrom mental health services to economic development, effective disaster philanthropy addresses the full spectrum of needs.Prepare for Future RisksProactive investments in preparedness and mitigation save lives and resources when disaster strikes.Focus on ResilienceHelp communities become stronger and more adaptable, reducing vulnerabilities to future crises.Partner Across SectorsCollaboration among nonprofits, governments, and businesses ensures a coordinated response and recovery.Center Lived ExperienceThe voices of those directly impacted by disasters should inform every stage of the recovery process.Adapt Funding ModelsFlexible, multi-year funding allows organizations to respond effectively to evolving needs.Learn and ShareEvery disaster provides lessons. Sharing knowledge strengthens the global response to future challenges.By applying these principles, inspired by the CDP, we can create a more compassionate and effective approach to disaster philanthropy—one that not only responds but rebuilds stronger communities. https://disasterphilanthropy.org/Support the show

Chaz and AJ put together a montage of some calls that stuck with them from this past week. While they admit this is a sample that only scratches the surface of the true scope of the damage, it is a good way to begin to understand just how devastated the communites are. Morgan called in to share her story of rescue, admitting she gets emotional thinking about how easily she and her son, Leo could have faced a terrible end, if not for the kindness and bravery of a man in flip-flops, who saved them both from a torrent of water.  Photo courtesy Claudia Chapman

Mark 4:35-41On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, ‘Let us go across to the other side. And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him. A great gale arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, ‘Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?' He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!' Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?' And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, ‘Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?' We all have a storm story. Here's mine. Several years ago, Katelyn and I went camping in upstate New York. We were most excited about renting a boat and fishing on this small lake. And here's us in our boat, just as we began fishing. Now it wasn't big, just a simple row boat. Which means I rowed and Katelyn fished. And Katelyn is a really good fisherman but not so good at taking the fish off. So by the time I got us to a good spot, she would have already caught multiple fish, which I had to remove. I rarely had a chance to toss out my own line before moving to another spot. Finally we got to a spot on the far side of the lake where we had our anchor down, bait on the hooks, lines out, and ready to reel 'em in. Then, the wind kicks up and dark clouds start moving in. We hear thunder and its pretty close. So we both agree we should make our way back across the lake to the docks. We reeled in our lines and I started rowing. I rowed for maybe 15 minutes, but I wasn't getting very far. The wind is really picking up now and those clouds were nearly on top of us. So I rowed harder and harder, but with each stroke forward, I felt like the wind picked up just a little bit faster, pushing us backward. At this point we are only half way across the lake and the heavens could rip open at any moment. Both of us are scared, I'm tired from rowing as fast as I can, and rain is starting to collect in our boat. I started rowing like a mad man against the wind, cursing at the paddles and this boat for not going faster, when Katelyn said to me “just take a break for a second and catch you breath. So, I said to her “okay, put the anchor down so we don't drift backward”... and then it dawned on us: the anchor was down the whole time. I had drug this cement filled coffee can clear across this whole lake. When I pulled it up, 10 pounds of seaweed covered the can. I was outraged at the situation: the rain, the boat, the anchor! Katelyn, though, was beside herself in laughter, nearly in tears at how funny it all was. I rowed us to the dock and we made it to the car just as the hail began. Katelyn has always been good humored, able to laugh at herself and situations outside her control. I get frustrated, impatient with the wind and waves that arise in life. Our literal storm experience mirrored our lived experience. There's nothing like a storm to teach you about the people who are in your boat, yourself included. At first, Jesus doesn't seem to be the person you want in your boat when the storm hits. He's been preaching and teaching all day, using the same boat as a pulpit. So I'm not surprised at all that he's sleeping on a cushion at the front of the boat.When the wind kicks up and the waves start crashing, the disciples seem more than a little frustrated that Jesus isn't acting like a concerned friend, let alone a messiah. But I don't blame them for being scared and perhaps angry. It must have been a pretty bad storm if at least four, maybe more, professional fishermen who had spent a lifetime fishing and sailing on that lake were scared to death. They knew the dangers of the sea of galilee, especially at night. I imagine they warned Jesus of such things before they left the shore. No wonder they yelled at Jesus, do you not care that we are perishing?Do you not care that we are perishing? Is there anyone who hasn't yelled that question at Jesus? If there was ever a shared sentiment between us and the disciples, it's that question. It's a sense of abandonment. It's feeling like you are drowning and God is nowhere to be found, panicking that your boat of life is taking on water and Jesus is asleep at the stern and for whatever reason you can't rouse him no matter how hard you cry or pray. You are not alone in feeling that way. We all have a storm story: the doctor giving a diagnosis you never wanted to hear, the day after a beloved's funeral, your child telling you her marriage is over, the accident you never saw coming. Like the fishermen, we know the damage they can do. So don't feel bad for yelling at Jesus. So much in the Hebrew Bible is the Psalmist or a prophet lamenting over the same thing. As Nadia Bolz Weber puts it, it's no sin to hold God's feet to the fire and ask, “Why have you abandoned me?”To the disciple's great relief, Jesus wakes from his nap and, with three words, he makes the wind stop and a great calm come over the waters. He turns to the disciples and has the audacity to ask, “why are you afraid?” As if taking on water in a shambly first century boat wasn't reason enough. But then Jesus asks a harder question, “Have you still no faith…” In other words, don't you trust me yet? I think the fear Jesus can get over. It's human, innate to fear. But to show no measure of trust, that's what Jesus seems disappointed at. Because by this time in Mark's story, the disciples have spent some good time with Jesus. They have witnessed him doing some pretty miraculous things: casting out unclean spirits, restoring a withered hand, healing a leper, and mending the health of one of their own mothers. They've heard his teaching; heard others call him the Son of God, yet how quickly they seem to forget all of that. In the Psalms, the psalmist writes about how God commands the sea to storm and to cease. The disciples, or at least the first hearers of Mark's gospel, would have known that only God has power over the waters. In controlling the winds and the waves, Jesus shows them once again who he is, he is the Son of God, the savior, fully divine living among them.It took a storm for them to see again who Jesus was. And really the disciples still don't see it or really get it. All throughout Mark, they constantly get it wrong about who Jesus is and what he's there to do. But could we not say the same thing about ourselves? Have we not been witnesses to some pretty miraculous things? Have we not been in a boat taking on water and yet somehow arrived safely to the other side?Faith is having trust in the savior who is right there, in the boat with you. We will be fearful of the storms that come up in life, but faith is choosing to trust Jesus in the moment in spite of the storm. Notice that disciples didn't have glass waters to sail across. Even though Jesus was in the boat with them, the storm still came. Bad, hard, even terrible things happen in this life. And people will try to say that if you just prayed enough, or had enough faith, or had the right kind of faith, then these things wouldn't happen. That, friends, is a lie. Having faith is no guarantee or promise that storms won't arise. The promise is that Jesus is in there with you. And look I get that there are still all sorts of questions: why doesn't Jesus stop the storms from happening in the first place? Why are some storms just so bad? And if God controls the waters, who's responsible for the storm? We could try to answer all these, and many have, but that gives no comfort or relief to someone who feels like they're perishing. Instead, sit beside them when the wind kicks up and the waves crash and let Jesus show you who he is once again. Because there's nothing like a storm to teach you about the people who are in your boat, Jesus included. Amen.

Was the ship keeping them alive or was it the Savior? “It will turn out exactly as God said it would” There is in Scripture a quality of character in the Roman military, specifically with Centurions. Roman politicians had questionable character but there is a different picture for Roman military officers. A Roman Legion is 600. A Roman Centurion is 100. (1) Jesus met with a Roman Centurion (Matthew 8:5-13) & then there was a Roman Centurion at His cross (Matthew 27:51-54) (2) Peter meets with a Roman Centurion ( Acts 10:1-2) (3) Paul meets with a Roman Centurion (Julius) in the Augustan Regiment here. Paul has complete trust in God and Julius has complete trust in Paul Two weeks under typhoon conditions traveling 476 plus miles. Many would say “It's a miracle” but few would give glory to God. Would you? Will you? Paul cared about “all” in Acts 26 and in Acts 27! What is your “Storm Story”? What storm have you gone through? Or are you in the midst of a storm? Or do you wonder what storm will come next? Can we sing in the storms of life? We must sing. Psalm 34:4, I SOUGHT THE LORD AND HE HEARD AND HE ANSWERED (repeat 3x) THAT'S WHY I TRUST HIM, THAT'S WHY I TRUST HIM!

Join Formosa Files for a look at a few notable typhoons that have hit Taiwan in more recent times, as well as some interesting asides, such as: When did typhoons get names? Why did they once only use female names? And, do typhoons do anything good for Taiwan?

In today's episode, I share a story about how buffalo respnd to storms coming. Rather than drift with the wind attempting to outrun the storm like cows do, bison turn into a storm and face it head on to get through it quicker.

Times have been good in recent years, but will they continue?  Hopefully.  But if they dont, and the economic weather gets stormy, the companies that have prepared will be fine. Those that aren't prepared will make many mistakes like I did in the Great Recession, and some wont survive. In this episode, I share the 3 biggest mistakes I made so you can avoid them: 1. Not knowing the #'s 2. Hoping instead of cost cutting 3. Too much debt I've never been shy about my many mistakes in running a stone shop, you wont be disappointed in this episode. Happy Fabricating! 

As we begin to think about the recovery effort from Hurricane Ian, we looked back at some of the stories coming out about the experience of survivors. We shared information for those that might need disaster assistance from FEMA. And Dave took a break from the storm coverage to share that one of his grandsons took his first steps the other day.    00:32 2 Corinthians 4:8-9  03:26 FEMA info  08:05 Storm Stories  15:13...

Our experience with floods, tsunamis, and other extreme weather events... and lessons we've learned.  What does that dayglow orange X mean on the front of your house after it's been searched?  What to expect from insurance, government, and relief agencies.  Should you go inside the Red Cross tent?  How should you deal with FEMA, government agencies, and the military?  What are people REALLY like during large, life-altering natural disasters? What do we wish we'd known?

After having her first suicidal thought when she was around 5, Stormi Lewis started seeing herself as divided between good and evil Stormi. As a product of the "don't ask, don't tell, and you'll be fine" parenting style, she quickly understood she shouldn't talk about that with her parents, so she sought and found shelter in books. Although she didn't know what was going on with her (she was diagnosed with bipolar personality and ADHD disorder at 22), Stormi understood the need to develop her bag of tricks to survive, and so she did. Stormi Lewis is the Founder and CEO of Chasing Stormi. The author of The Sophie Lee Trilogy, Surviving the Storm, Fuel for the Storm, and the Bookish Chatter podcast host. Her writing style focuses on never being alone and conquering our storms with style, class, and a bit of sass. Stormi grew up dealing with Bipolar disorder, ADHD, and anxiety, plus a people-pleasing addiction that would put her life at risk several times. In this episode, Stormi takes us on a trip through the crazy weather of her life, the multiple storms she conquered, and the critical role books played in her life. We dive deep into the darkest moments of her life, the dangerous situations in which her people-pleasing addiction put her, and the bag of tricks she developed that saved her life on more than one occasion. We also talk about the difficulties she faced growing up in a family where certain things are not mentioned nor discussed and how that environment made her develop her people-pleasing traits. Some Questions I Ask:I would like to talk about you and your "surviving the storm" journey. Could you talk a bit about that? (2:49)Even after all these years, your family still does not acknowledge your condition? (22:16)How have you taken all of what happened in your life and channeled it into something so brave? (25:21)In This Episode, You Will Learn:How books saved Stormi's life (3:11)About finding our best moment to be creatives and embrace it (6:52)How Stormi managed to come up with her own bag of tricks to survive (11:11)A moment of relief for Stormi. The day she knew she was right - something was wrong with her, and it wasn't her fault (19:45)A big aha moment. Even if we don't take things personally, it doesn't mean we don't absorb the energy of negative words (38:13)Resources:Chasing Stormi LLC websiteBookish Chatter podcastBook: Stormi Lewis - The Key: A Plot Twisting Thriller MysteryBook: Stormi Lewis - The Protector: A Plot Twisting Thriller MysteryBook: Stormi Lewis - Surviving the Storm: Stories of Personal, Everyday Challenges ConqueredBook: Stormi Lewis - Fuel for the StormBook: Jennifer Alwood - Fear Is Not the Boss of YouBook: Jen Sincero - You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome LifeBook: Mindy Kaling - Why Not Me?
