    There is a video where a local, telling her story to a personal video channel, that FEMA visited 5 days ago (6 now) asking what they needed. They said safe water, food, etc. They haven't seen nor heard from them nor any other Gov Service since. Their only help has been from local people, churches and stores.

      FEMA is a Management Agency. All they have ever been is a place that will provide you with some emergency funds. I lived in Florida for 40 years and now NC for 20.FEMA does not come in and fix everything and make you whole again. The first response is always neighbor helping neighbor, then usually churches and community centers start setting up donation centers. In Florida when a hurricane was coming they always told us to be prepared to live upto a week without electricity and if you get a direct hit that could be longer. They wanted you able to take care of yourself for upto a week .Food water,meds, gas,pet food, all of that.I went through 3 hurricanes in 2004. The 3rd one took the roof off of the house. We moved to NC in 2005.We started seeing the same prep in winter for a snow storm that we would see in Florida for a hurricane.We got hit by a bad ice storm in 2009 and lost power for 10 days with a tree fallen across our driveway and no way to get the car out.Luckily our neighbors were able to get some things for us and our fireplace kept us warm. My son was hit by hurricane Florence and FEMA gave him his emergency funds right away. Then they waited for a case worked to come inspect there house. They had homeowners and flood insurance thank goodness because they had 3 feet of water in their house for 6 days before the waters reseeded. I think the got a total of about $4-5 thousand from FEMA over the coarse of a year.A lot of what you recieve in aid depends on your income and if you have insurance or not. I remember they did offer low interest loans for repair money. the biggest helps was volunteers that came from all over to help out. Just like they have done and are doing for Helene. But no one should expect FEMA to be the fair godmother that puts there life back together. Tornado, flood, earthquake, wild fire,ice storm, whatever mother nature throws at you ,you have to face it and deal with it.

      Wow! Oklahoma! thank you so much for praying!
      I am so amazed with all the pouring out of prayers help, supplies, & people coming together to rescue, serve and give supplies to those in need as well as so many coming together such as yourself Oklahoma. Not only Oklahoma, but Kansas, Texas, Wyoming, even us Floridians are helping even though some of us are devastated here as well, & those as far West as Colorado and Utah, as North as Iowa and Missouri & as far East as Texas, Carolinas and Virginia helping each other coming down and helping us Southern States, our Beautiful States. This is what Great American is made of, great strength & love of the people of America, we stand together and will continue to do so until everything's rebuilt and healed again! I know what it's like to go through a hurricane and what it's like to clean up afterwards. I grew up in Florida and went through several storms as a child & even now these last 2 hurricanes, going through these storms as an adult, it doesn't get any easier. My daughter, her family and I needed to be evacuated to her in-laws. It was a new house, though framed, with trees all around and with a new born baby they didn't want to take any chances and neither did i. While traveling, even though it was a small travel time window, we received an emergency warning on our phones going off at the same time, as we traveled it became harder to see through the windshield of our car, and that's when we received the emergency broadcast warning of a tornado in our area and it announced to quickly take cover & to get to safety! That tornado that was announced on the Emergency Broadcast System, was the huge tornado everybody's speaking about, that hit just a few neighborhoods away from our family's and my daughter-in-law's house, that killed so many. We were so thankful to God that we managed to get to safety in order to take cover just in time! My husband was extremely thankful, because before we left, he had to rush & travel to our home about an hour and a half away to help our son, who was house sitting and watching our dogs, to board up. Due to the fact Milton was going to take that path right over our house. I remember thinking I was a bit concerned and worried however I knew if it died down enough to a cat one we should be okay but there's no guarantee! With all the training I've received through CERT, SCUBA Diving, my family and friends, my parents my teachers and even officer Anderson, as well as other first responders, who I knew throughout the years that have taught me, helped me and educated me on the importance of safety and being prepared for disasters and especially what to do after disasters, the number one thing I keep going back to is: 1- prayer and keep God first in your life, and 2- breathe and keep breathing and never panic! When you don't panic it keeps you alive, and knowing God Almighty will be right by your side whether you are with loved ones or alone, remembering God is always with you & loves you especially when you are all alone & that's all you need to know; keep a level head, keep calm and breathe, don't panic and say a prayer, God is faithful and will always answer!
      My family and I spent many years traveling back and forth to Georgia, Tennessee and North and South Carolinas. We camped up there and explored the mountains for many years, we loved it! My grandparents lived in Tennessee after they moved from Miami. My mom was from Georgia but grew up in Miami, Florida. When the hurricanes in Florida would hit, I remember as a child how we would have to prepare or evacuate! It took steady speed, extreme planning, strength with focusing and lots of money at times! We used to role play and have our safety plans in place as best as we could. It was very scary then regardless if it was a small hurricane or a large one and it's still scary now. I'm amazed that people did live through this! I'm so glad and thankful to God that they did survive and that a lot of them are okay but there is a lot that were not & a lot still to do, such devastation all around, but, such blessings and resilience of others who still are pouring in & helping, praise be to our Lord & for answering our prayers! It is so hard for anybody to go through these storms especially with these two hurricanes! It's not easy to prepare or get out of the way because of the uncertainty of the storms at times and where they may or may not hit. With all the technology you think we would have a better warning system by now. However, the problem was with all the rain before, during and after, with all the tornado warnings, (which by the way were so unusual to be so many), with the uncertainty of the actual storms pathways and I think also, the lack of reporting that didn't happen. I didn't notice much of the weather information being reported as much as it used to be except what I received to be on a Weather Radio or The Weather channel itself & on a Weather app. Even the weather app has minimal information and if you want more information you have to pay for it which is ridiculous! There should be a law that they can't charge you for the utmost important weather app and weather radio stations TV information when it comes to your's and others' safety! The news seemed to be giving news of other places and other areas of the world, different subjects and different newsworthy events. But I remember a time when we had a hurricane coming at us it would be on every single channel for as long as we could have power on TV as well as ALL the radio stations to warn us all, minute by minute, hour by hour! This time I noticed it was very difficult to even find information on the TV as well as our apps especially our local news stations for some reason! Even years ago, when we were watching a movie or a show, the news channels would have a little tiny square box added either left or right hand corners on the TV screen to show the actual information of the upcoming hurricane and its pathway, updating us as well as people giving us the information. Those teeny boxes when there was new information they would expand and show us what was going on and interrupt our shows which was great, we needed that! But this time, I noticed I was receiving more news about other states of what was happening in the Northern and Western States, but not in the East. They were reporting other events such as, the debates for the upcoming voting & even other weather in other states out west and even northwest. I even made the comment to my husband and family, "Where's all the stations that show what is going on with Florida and the pathways of the hurricane coming towards us?". Then, after the storms passed through, "Where is the reporting for the aftermath in Florida and what about North and South Carolinas, Tennessee and all of the states that are being affected by both of these storms and even afterwards; where is the reporting afterwards? What's going on?! I wanted to know. I don't remember it being that hard to find information about any Hurricane before. From what I can remember it was never that hard to receive information before, during and after a hurricane. I don't think anybody expected it to be this bad for anyone except possibly Florida because it's path was to hit us directly. We surely didn't expect it to hit North and South Carolinas as well as Virginia and Tennessee as hard as it did, especially after it hit because we were told the hurricane should become a two and then a cat 1 Hurricane. Thank God for my wonderful parents and police officers, such as Officer Anderson, and others, who have taught me as a child over the years and now as an adult, & have helped me to prepare, roleplay, teaching and training me and my family to have those very important safety plans in place throughout my life for different various situations because that teaching has helped me and my family so much! But it never can prepare you totally for the worse. We can all only do our best and that's what everybody did! They prepared and they did their best, some evacuated and others were able to hunkered down. These two hurricanes came in so hard and so fast! No matter how well you prepare or how fast you prepare sometimes you just can't be fast enough for the destruction of nature! It's amazing how just powerful water can be! And no one could have prepared any better than they did due to the fact that not only was it fast, even though it's strength died down to a 2 cat and then a 1 cat Hurricane, by the time it reached other states and came through, it brought unusual amounts of water, raining constantly before during and after as well as unusual tornadoes that weren't just little tornadoes but huge ones like you would see out West and the middle States! Usually, cat 1 & cat 2 hurricanes aren't as bad! These storms will definitely go down as history-making Hurricanes. Our prayers, love and blessings go out to all in need as well as all who have come down to help thank you so much for your help, your prayers and all that you've given, Great America! America would not be the place that is if it weren't for the people who live there and their compassionate loving and giving hearts!

      Yes! FEMA is causing issues! Like deploying 6,400 federal personnel, including FEMA staff, in the affected areas. And distributing more than 13.2 million meals, 13.4 million liters of water, 157 generators, and 492,000 tarps to support recovery efforts in the region. Stop politicizing the response to this 100+ year storm which hit at the worst time (after much rain) in the worst area (mt areas full of creeks and rivers). Those that think FEMA is supposed to be the cure all for all the damage, deaths, infrastructure and road issues are incorrect in their knowledge of what they are tasked with.

      Great idea! I'm still recovering from a 5-year-old storm probably 6 years ago storm now. And had to live through Helena and Milton in florida. But my heart goes out to all who have been affected even more than me even though my house is still under construction and never been finalized yet. But we will rebuild we are all Americans and we will rebuild and help and serve and rescue whoever and as many as we can until it is said and done and people are totally completely back on their feet. I'm collecting things that I have re-bought and donating as well as trying to sell and organize, so it's a great idea. To you, your family and all who have been affected as well God bless you blessings, love and prayers to you all. 🙏🙏🙏💕🙏🙏🙏🌹

And the mining permits approved just over 72 hours before the storm for the mining company which BlackRock owns 2.2 million shares worth a billion dollars is a coincidence. Happens to be ground zero where Asheville is. Someone would think a person is a conspiracy theorist. Good luck to all.

I own a lot of flashlights but back in 2013 we had an ice storm that shut down power for 10 days. My two 3D LED Maglites were the only light source still working like champs on day 10, they are 160 lumen and run for 80 hours. Two of them tail standing flooding the ceiling is like having two end table lamps on in a living room and provided room lighting for all evenings. I also have some modern lithium lanterns and flashlights but the run time isn't the greatest. Good to be prepared and good to know what works.

    That is why you grow a 2 year garden every year. Food to eat and food to store. Empty canning jars should be filled with water and canned. If you have meds that need to stay cold, get a medicine fridge that is USB powered. When you do your shopping, always buy something extra, i.e., laundry detergent, soap, toothbrushes, shampoo and conditioner, lotion, toilet paper, zip lock bags, matches, etc. We also bought a weeks worth of clothes from the thrift store and a new multi pack of underwear, washed them and put them in space bags. They will stay dry and clean. We do the same with blankets and quilts. All are stored in space bags. Anyhoo, time to start prepping, along with homesteading. The two should go hand in hand.

      ​@@Psalm91-1If you are in a flash flood area, its important to get out early. I heard a lot of people say they lost cell service before the flood warnings came. I watch a channel on youtube called Ryan Hall Y'all. He does weather live with mediologists and storm chasers who have starlink in case cell phone towers go out. He was on all day before Helene made landfall in Florida. He told us there would be bad flooding when the hurricane crashed into the mountains. Because it was moving so fast, and because it had so much water in it. I started watching him in 2018 because of tornados. He's live so they often call out tornados before the news channels do. I assumed being Helene had so far to travel to get to the mountains, that locally they would have been better prepared to warn of this, if a youtube channel knew. Its the only weather I watch, they give so much informatuon. They also are a non prophet and they take donations during the life stream to help the community affected. After Helene they got supplies, food, and starlinks and delivered them. They were there on the day after the storm.

      I lived in Florida for 50 years. I always filled my vehicle, got a new propane tank for the grill, and shopped for last minute items as soon as the first cone of a track came out on the weather. I always bought any new supplies like batteries, flashlights, tarps, etc. right before hurricane season stared. Every year i would buy a new piece of equipment like a wind up radio, solar lights/fans, or battery packs for cell phones. I also kept a well stocked food pantry, rotating through it after hurricane season. Im sure even up north for blizzards or lots of snow, could knock out power, and you might not be able to buy food.
