Tennessee: A lawsuit alleges that, despite notifications from the National Weather Service, Impact Plastics allegedly instructed its employees to report to work because the company “wanted to meet order deadlines.” Johnny Peterson, 55, was one of two workers at Impact Plastics who are now confirmed dead in flooding that engulfed the factory in the rural town of Erwin on Sept. 27. Of 11 employees who were swept away, five were rescued and another four remain missing, according to reports.
The 28-page suit argues that Impact Plastics had no required plan to safely evacuate employees — even though the plant was located in a flood plain and regularly experienced water creeping into its parking lot. The lawsuit also alleges that Impact Plastics founder and CEO Gerald O’Connor “stealthily exited the building” and left the danger zone.

The family of a Tennessee factory worker who was killed during Hurricane Helene is suing the company and its CEO — claiming that the bosses sneaked out of the factory to escape catastrophic weather conditions while they ordered employees to stay.
Johnny Peterson, 55, was one of two workers at Impact Plastics who are now confirmed dead in flooding that engulfed the factory in the rural town of Erwin on Sept. 27. Of 11 employees who were swept away, five were rescued and another four remain missing, according to reports.
According to an explosive lawsuit filed by Peterson’s family on Monday in Tennessee state court, the facility’s managers denied employees’ pleas to leave work as the hurricane bore down on the area.
That’s despite the fact that workers began receiving notifications from the National Weather Service around 10 a.m. urging all who could to evacuate to higher ground, according to the suit.

Around 10:30 a.m., company managers told employees to move their cars because the parking lot was flooding, the suit claims.
An hour later at 11:35 a.m., senior management including Impact Plastics founder and CEO Gerald O’Connor had “stealthily exited the building,” according to court papers.
Workers had assumed they also were allowed to go home as local schools and other businesses announced closures because of Hurricane Helene, the suit alleges.
Instead, Impact Plastics allegedly instructed its employees to report to work because the company “wanted to meet order deadlines,” court documents show.
It wasn’t until water had flooded the plant’s parking lot and the power went out that managers sent workers home, the suit claims.
The suit gives a heartbreaking account of Peterson’s final moments, including text messages with his family revealing his fears that he would not escape the floodwaters.
Peterson, who had stepped outside, went back into the building to help employees “trapped inside” but eventually became trapped himself after the water made it impossible to leave by car, the suit claims.
Peterson managed to climb onto the bed of a semi-trailer attempting to escape the area.
“Johnny knew he could not survive much longer as the water levels continued to swell and pummel the semi-trailer,” the lawsuit stated.
“He texted his daughter for the last time at 1:17 p.m. ‘I love you allllll,’ he managed to type out. This was the last text Alexa Peterson received from her father.”
The raging waters caused by Hurricane Helene have spurred nearly 250 fatalities across six states, according to the AP.
One other person from the factory was still missing after being washed away in Erwin, where dozens of people about a mile away were also rescued off the roof of a hospital.

Critics suggest the FEMA installations are being built as a land-grab for minerals. While Americans are making donations and local volunteers and local emergency management teams are helping victims, FEMA is burning through money with no visible aid for victims and survivors.
Greg Reese covers weather modification via NEXRAD doppler, delayed government emergency response, reports that FEMA is confiscating supplies and giving them to migrants in sanctuary cities, video of an unmarked black helicopter damaging supplies and radical FEMA employees prioritizing LGBTQIA people.
The efforts of a rescuer with a helicopter were allegedly thwarted by the local Lake Lure fire chief or assistant chief who threatened to arrest the pilot. Another rescuer explained that government officials reject help and supplies from volunteers because there are backroom deals made with vendors.
