stock here: they have already restricted drones, just like Hawaii. This video had 1 Million Views yesterday, 1.5 Million today, so the word is getting out effectively.
I am here in Asheville, NC. I can not describe the devistation we are experiencing. No water, gas, electricity, communication, or food. 2 feet of stagnant water sat in my basement for days, and trees fell all around my house. We have had to scavenge for drinking water and food at grocery stores that only take cash if they are even open. We have been using rainwater collected in a barrel for washing. I have 3 small children, which makes it even harder. I am also taking care of my elderly neighbor. He was alone with no food, water, or electricity when we could finally make it up to his house. My 85 year old grandmother has been without electricity and running water for a week. We take care of her. As a big family, we share everything we have, even if it is a small amount. I haven’t seen one aid truck come into my part of town. We have been doing all the hard work ourselves. Us country folk are pulling together the best we can. We are tough, hard-working, resourceful, caring, and generous people. But most of all, we are pissed off. There were bodies floating down the river. I bet they won’t report that on the mainstream media. Please pray for us all…..

3 hours ago I am a mortician for 35 years. For disasters like this, DMORT mortuary volunteers would be called to go help retrieve, identify and embalm bodies. We would preserve bodies for transport so families could say goodbye. Well, years back we were told FEMA was going to be taking on many of these jobs. We all thought it was strange because it is a specialized field. Anyway, we learned during COVID that no one was going to help embalm record numbers of bodies we had in our city. We had to build temporary shelters to house bodies at our own expense! FEMA was no where to be found. Last week, I heard that there was going to be coolers set up to house the bodies of flood victims. However, bodies submerged in water need to be embalmed quickly to prevent any more deterioration. This is for the basic need of identification. Licensed embalmers know many strategies to preserve even the most damaged bodies. so loved ones can view/identify them without even more trauma. From what I have seen, local fire departments have been doing their part to retrieve dead community members from piles of debris. Not FEMA. I don’t think FEMA gives a crap about these communities. Pathetic!

10 hours ago (edited) We, as an entire country need to stand up and demand that our government return to what it was established to do. This government was put in place to protect its land and its people. The administration in place for the last decade has not done that. Our presidential elections are reality TV shows. We have to preface the VP debate with a statement that microphones can be muted to maintain decorum, people all across the southeast lost everything, including their lives. Entire cities are gone. The landscape of historic areas, changed forever. The citizens of these towns are operating heavy machinery to clear the damage and debris, recovering their friends and family members bodies. The southeast has been devastated. Where are the briefings? Where is the help? What’s the plan? Where is the money? Where the support? where is the relief? FEMA is out of money for the remainder of the season? The price of EVERYTHING continues to rise, we get triple taxed on every dollar we earn, yet all of our money continues to go overseas, to people that want to kill us too, yet the government continues to ask us for additional funding and tax increases to support government programs, for what? It’s a sad time for what was once the greatest country in the world. Now, we’re a joke on the world stage.. It won’t be long until our enemies decide to take advantage of the divided states of America. Our military is dwindling because patriotism is dead. There’s little to fight for. Not to mention, the majority of the military aged generation simply does not have the mental fortitude to withstand combat, so who’s to protect us when the time comes as it inevitably will? I have to imagine, there was a similar sentiment back in 1861. As they say, history repeats itself. I’m terrified of the world my kids have to grow up in. Sorry for the rant.

1 hour ago Our place burned down in the Lahaina fires in August 2023. We asked the federal government for help several times and never got one penny. It took about 10 months to get our lot cleared of the debris. We still have no clear answer into when our place can even start being rebuilt. Now, 14 months later, we are paying the insurance and a mortgage on a place that no longer exists. The main stream media talked about the fires of Maui for a couple of weeks and that was it, moving on to the next big story. I am truly sorry for all of you affected by this hurricane but if it is anything like Lahaina, help from the federal government is not coming and it never will. My love and prayers are with you all.

3 hours ago I’m a 61 year old man who was born and raised in these mountains and i can tell you here and now…..we will rebuild. We will persevere. It is our nature to survive when others would give up. ” A country boy will survive….” no truer words have ever been spoken. With the help of our government or in spite of our government we will rebuild and we will remember those who helped and those who hindered. We Appalachian folk have a history of locking horns with the government when they over step their authority or try to take that which is not theirs to take. Or try to impose their tyranny on us. Must i remind you what happened when tyranny came to Athens Tenn in 1946? Walk carefully and choose your words carefully or your mouth will end up writing a check your ass will have to cash!!!

3 hours ago I live just west of Asheville. We have been told that we will not have running water, Asheville City Water, for at least a month. I hear the helicopters flying over every day, at least 10 times a day. I was released from mission hospital, (now a morgue) just 3 days before the storm. This is very bad. Although I have not lost property, I am alone. Thank God for good neighbors. I have lived here for 40 years. We have seen flooding, we have had wildfires and blizzards, but no one has ever seen anything like this. I have lost everything in my refrigerator and freezer and can’t even take this spoiled food out because we live near bears and we have to wait until we know that trash pickup will resume. I don’t have a car because I had to give it up when my husband passed away. Please, pray for Western NC.

4 hours ago I’m in Asheville and can attest to the lack of FEMA support anywhere! Three representatives showed up for a grand total of five minutes at our grassroots rescue station in Barnardsville, only to capture a few photos and to film a short series of interviews with a few of the local police officers and firefighters. They left just as quickly as they arrived and beyond that, they didn’t do a damn thing! We have been surviving solely due to the grassroots citizen movement. Where has Kamala been? Oh, that’s right, she’s been at a fundraiser in Southern California, dining on five course meals! Thank god for the community effort because without it, this situation would go from just manageable to outright catastrophic

Just now listened to NPR news
giving complete bullshit about
FEMA, and a spin to the story that Trump is making false claims.
I am pondering why they are “failing” this badly at disaster response. Is it intentional as part of the abuse, do they already know how they will steal the election, and this additional abuse will not hurt the outcome, but will enflame (and literally) much of the nation. I did watch a long interview with a FEMA crew, parked off the main road, and they seemed like just horrific people for disaster response. It was shameful.
