Thank you all responders and their families for your hard work! Thank you President Biden and FEMA for being setup and ready prior to this horrible event.
Need to have a word with that fire chief in lake lure…..horrible decision maker
We live in AVL and we just want to say thank you to the volunteers, FEMA, rescue personnel, and the Democratic government for declaring the federal emergency so we can all get the help we need right now; without FEMA or disaster unemployment, we would be hurting far worse right now. Also a shout out to Kim Roney for being out and on the ground and communicative.
I am just sending thanks for the work, this is not meant to be a political post.
They work these people are doing is absolutely incredible. And there is so, so much more work to do. My partner probably won't be able to get to her family in Burnsville for weeks, and they live an hour away...
Big differences in governors. Look how Destantis tackles stuff!
Yes, well I would like to see DeSantis work in these mountains. He does not have a clue. Quit slamming Cooper because he is a Democrat. This is no time for tTrump evil followers rhetoric. GROW A BRAIN AND A HEART.
Yes Big Difference Governor Cooper is great!
Our area was hit directly by hurricane Ian and this is a different thing all together. florida is flat as a pankake. I-75 was open 3 days after Ian hit not turned into a mudslide crater, most major roads were open a few days after Ian hit allowing mass transport of goods. Many communities in Florida are built to hurricane codes, the coast in much of Florida is wealthy. Western NC is basically the complete opposite in every way with mountains mudslides washouts etc..., and directing a lot of resources is going to be a lot more complicated. State and federal agencies and utility companies are the ones doing the clean up and planning not the governors.
👍
Wow.. Still rescuing people.. That's a long time.. Poor people.. 😮❤
Its really bad. Search Chimney Rock if you want to see how bad.
Once cell service is restored thousands of people who saved battery power will finally be able to call for help. 10s of thousands are stranded at home with no roads in or out and no power, fresh water, food, or cell service.
Its so so much worse than what is being reported. Just today I've seen dozens of private helicopters flying into the mtns to drop supplies and rescue people. Along with a few national guard helicopters as well.
These mountain roads are scary to drive, even on beautiful, sunny days. I can't imagine. So many nooks and crannies and thin, winding, steep roads.
Yall just don't know how hard it is to rescue in these mountains. Give people a break.
Most don't have internet Cooper. Hard to apply online without that.
He gave out a telephone number. Folks can call to sign up.
Please make photos and please the names of roads, towns, streets, rivers….we are just guessing where families tell us. At first here there were no weather info etc…Tell TV TO TELL US SO WE CAN GET ESCAPE. NOT ONE RADIO NEWS WAS ON RADIOS. TERRIBLE INFO WITH NOT TWO WORDS SPOKEN. ABSOLUTELY NO PHONES AND NO COMPUTERS AND NEWS operated.
Hollow speech from a career politician, he doesn’t really care about these mountain counties because we didn’t vote for him
I care, sending my prayers for you and the helicopter pilots, citizen volunteers. One man Saturday was told he could not rescue in your mountains, he’d be arrested if he returned with a senior man. He had just dropped off his wife ☹️
Don't need to give money to UW, the supplies should be on the ground when people need it. Destantis knows how to organize and implement services people need and fast. Need to look into his playbook.
DiSantis has much more experience with hurricanes.
@@lyndalamb3221 this was mostly flooding, it was not a hurricane in NC
Florida is flat if it's any consolation DeSantis Boots are pretty funny
DeSantis is an asshat, refused help early on...
Flooding happens in most coastal cities, Houston here, sending prayers and donations.
Helicopters have flown over 3 times today. Can they make food drops? We have electric and well water. So just need food. Also in need of prescription medicine.
Director Ray is an excellent spokesperson. His information was excellent! Thank you Director!!!
Hopefully this age of overnight delivery, instant communication, and drone service will prove 2B an advantage 4 all.🤨😄😉
" Just go online" with no internet and no phone.
Jerk! We don't have good service here when weather great. It's like the Rocky Mountains. The digital waves do not curve around Mountains. Duh!
He gave phone numbers too, they know the issues don't be a daft twit
1 Thessalonians 5:17
“Pray without ceasing.”
Blessings to all of you affected by this devastation💔
COOPER said 40 was open. The Transportation Director said he HOPES it will be open today. INTERSTATE 40 was damaged apparently at different locations - seems to be since it is part of the US INTERSTATE SYTEM that maybe using mile markers to denote where the road is CLOSED due to storm damage and where it has been repaired would help keep all on the same page. West and East traffic apparently affected at some points and only one or the other at others. The Director of Transportation said something about "NET 3 marker on 40 near the TN line" What does that mean?
Can GOOGLE EARTH help? Anyone know how old the images are on GOOGLE EARTH?
40 at TN And NC will not be repaired for years. Get a grip. The road fell in a gorge!
What are you doing for the isolated mountain area? I am sending you prayers Governor, the first responders, all the volunteers and of course all of those affected and Still WITHOUT HELP Also about the assistant fire chief, A man, who sent a VOLUNTEER HELIOPILOT and his helicopter, came to assist in rescuing people from the mountains. Well he rescued one Lady from the mountainside, where she and her husband were stranded. The assistant fire chief said if he returned with her husband, he would be arrested. Wow, what a shame. That was an amazing asset on the ground and to her husband. Don’t tell me about being in the way. What about all the news people running around? Think about it. People donate in ALL kinds of ways.
Be safe all.🙏🙏❤️
May God have mercy on us ALL.
❤🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Did the governor call on the national guard for help ?
@@Lou-n9q yes, moron they are there and others on standby.
The lovely people of NC may always count on us Floridians to help restore this amazing state.❤
Is 26 west open from Saluda to I 40 west. Is there gas in Sylva.
Go sit down, Cooper.
he's completely useless...telepromted again
This is who we need to get out the office, His time is up!!!!!!!!!
Resign your too incompetent…
THE STATE OF NC needed to put up HURRICANE HELENE ANCHOR PAGE with a map of all counties. Include on that anchor page all of these sites mentioned during this press conference. GOOD GRIEF how disorganized and convoluted does COOPER and co have to make this?
Instead of just complaining and criticising, why don't you find out who to call and offer your help? Putting down the Governor sounds just like what a MAGA Cult Nut does. And yes, I am criticising you which you deserve!
WHY would NC National Guard staging for HELENE happen in NASH COUNTY? Wouldn't some place west of Raleigh make more sense?
the president must have changed his mind in helping . good to hear
He was always ready to help. Our crazy maga senators Chuck Edward's refuses to let a Democrat in. This hateful tit for tat has got to stop. People have died watching a wall of water and mud baring down on them 40 miles per hr.
Why are people still stranded after 4 days? I appreciate Gov Cooper being present and doing updates daily. I am not happy with Biden or Harris....where are they? A true leader would be doing press conferences from day one. Biden was at the beach all weekend, and Harris was at a posh fundraiser. Both are absent of all leadership qualities.
Neither one of those claims are true. Biden was on the phone for 8 hours. Before the hurricane even hit, he signed a bunch of aid packages for the states that the hurricane was supposed to hit. Tf are you talking about?
The ARMY CORP of ENGINEERS are in LITTLE WASHINGTON. IS FEMA DIRECTOR saying FEMA has their own INHOUSE ARMY CORP of ENGINEER TEAMS or is she saying Little Washington dispatched people to Asheville ahead of the storm? I hope someone checks about what prep actually happened because the news agencies were finding people all over the western part of NC including ASHEVILLE who had to go without water for over 48 hours. I have NEVER heard of that before. And I want to know why it happened this time. Who was responsible and on the ground from FEMA for staging in ASHEVILLE? And what plan was in place?
So news agencies are in the Asheville area and are hindering first responders? Did those news agencies bring water with them to help these people??
You need to have 3 days of food & non perishable food for your family Thus is the minimum plus medications That Is basic info for amy natural disaster They should have that even if only for heavy snow fall Be able to take care of yourself people!!!
You would have better luck sending a carrier pigeon
Give to Samaritans Purse, United Way pays for Abortions.
OMG you MAGA moron. Right now do you think a person dying of starving gives a dam. A life for a life. Grow the Hell up. Jesus is after you hateful pretend christians..
no don't give to any of those... only give directly to real people
Yeah we need to see it!
