One thing I keep seeing here (we're 30 miles south of Brevard, as the car drives):

They are out of storage space for donations of goods--not enough volunteers to disburse the stuff.

I've seen that a lot too.

They don't need anymore goods. They need money, skilled labor/contractors, and volunteers.

Most complaints I see are that the feds are doing frick all except for carrying around clipboards and getting their photo ops in while all the actual work is being done by private citizens, linemen, state DOT, etc.

And pushing conspiracy theories about armed militia kidnapping and assassinating FEMA employees lol.

This chick posts quite regularly with on the ground stories of people helping out.

There was a big benefit concert at BofA stadium in Charlotte Saturday with a dozen country artists and 100% of the proceeds going to help the people of WNC. Tepper donated the facilities and paid out of pocket for all operating expenses and the artists donated their time I believe.


Good things are happening. The stories of death appear to have been over promised and the stories of destruction appear to have been under promised. It is a lesson most here already know, your neighbor is much more important than yoir government in times of crisis.
