East TN and Western NC devastated.

Apparently the money being sent is nowhere remotely close to being adequate . People are outraged that the majority of the money has gone to Ukraine and to help the migrant communities .

FEMA announced yesterday that there is no money left to respond to hurricane disasters for the remainder of hurricane season. Not sure if this is before / after they offered $750 to those most in need.

You forgot to add the part where local authorities threatened to jail the independent helicopter operators attempting to help . Couldn't believe it , what a disgrace . The mainstream media won't report on that but the helicopter operators are posting all over YouTube about it .

I’ve seen that, too. Disgrace is not the word I would use.

Our biggest folly in the U.S. has always been the inability to help our own first.

Eisenhower warned us about the military industrial complex in 1960, as he was leaving office. And now they are running the show.

Donations are getting confiscated. Supplies have to be diverted so to get thru to the people in need. The suffering is intentional. Plenty on this is being posted elsewhere.

I'm seeing this kind of shit being debunked everywhere. There are a lot of scams and false rumors being posted right now. I don't trust anything I read anymore unless it comes from an official source.

And now there's this. My whole family lives in Tampa. Tampa's worst nightmare is a storm coming directly into the bay. I'm worried...

Of course it could go north or south of the bay, but none of these paths are good...

My wife- an RN, some other RNs and Firefighters brought a trailer full of supplies up into the region yesterday and seeing if they could help in anyway. They filtered in with a small group of other private citizens. They had to drive around for several hours to find a "supply dump" outside the heaviest hit areas so the supplies would not be found by FEMA or other Fed authorities. I'm not going to mention town names or where the dump was. The civilians and first responders they spoke/worked with helping in he region indicated that FEMA is definitely not on the up and up. They had been promised 300 meals days ago that never materialized and are taking/funneling everything to their own locations. The locals were taking the supplies out by ATV as things were being dropped off where my wife was. 2 helicopters flew into the drop where my wife is while she was there. One just a private citizen flying his own, the other from Samaritans Purse. Sadly it looks to have to become a game of cat and mouse.

I've seen enough pics and video from yesterday to corroborate the ineptitude of our Federal Govt. (But ive known that for decades). Believe the MSM at your own peril.

Edit- also one of the pilots who flew in told her that body count is low at this point because so many cannot be identified due to bloating.
