A plastics factory in Unicoi County is under fire after some employees were trapped and killed there during flooding brought by Hurricane Helene. One Impact Plastic’s employees — Jacob Ingram — said lives could have been saved, had employees been allowed to leave the facility sooner. “I didn’t hear anyone say ‘leave’ or nothing like that. I actually asked one of the higher ups,” Ingram said. “They told me ‘no, not yet.’ They have to ask someone before we was able to leave, even though it was already above the doors and the cars and everything else.” Ingram said he was swept away by floodwaters Friday, having to clamber on top of a semi-truck to get to higher ground. That’s when he was rescued by a helicopter. Impact Plastics Employee says " It was too late to leave" 6 People Dead - Hurricane Flooding #swpg southwest prepper group
