Why is that?

We're chilling and waiting for Milton, so appreciate any extra prayers you all have that the wind damage and flooding is minimal, thanks.

Because they want to control everything. FEMA is a joke and should have been disbanded years ago. We the People need to tell them to get the hell out of the way for the REAL relief supplies coming from the private sector, while they fumble f**k around, trying to figure out what to do.



Mark, you and everyone on that West coast need all the prayers and help you can get. This is nuts to have another hurricane right on the heels of Helene, let alone one that could be even stronger than Ian...

Thanks, Mitch. It's a little daunting right now, but we're praying for the best.

Not sure if anyone watches Cleetus McFarland, but he was up in NC right after Helene went through and used his helicopter to rescue people and deliver medicine and supplies. What they're facing is hard enough to recover from, let alone having the Fed Govt doing things against the best interests of the suffering people.

Stop spreading rumors,at a time when human beings need help,not made up social media rhetoric. https://www.wyff4.com/article/fema-g...umors/62533885

....Meanwhile, at the Greenville Downtown Airport,False rumors claim that FEMA helicopter contractors were impeding Helene relief supplies from taking off last week."The airport made a place for them to land and to stage their helicopters so that they could be responsive when called upon by FEMA,"Director James Stephens said."That placement of the helicopters on this airport did not impact our airport operations in any way".Stephens said the airport's secondary runway,where the helicopters were positioned,is used less than 10% of the year.He added that the social media rumors affected those contractors."They were put at risk by some social media posts that were put out publicly,and they had to evaluate that risk to see whether or not they needed to stay here,"Stephens said.
U.S. Rep. Chuck Edwards, R-N.C.,who represents part of Western North Carolina.He also weighed in on the rumors and conspiracy theories floating around."Those rumors are totally unsubstantiated",he said."It's so unfortunate that at a time like this,where we need to be pulling together and being truthful and working on real solutions,we've got some nefarious folks out there."

My son is a utility lineman. He left home over two weeks ago and has been on the move ever since. He staged in Ocala Florida for Helene. He was then sent for a week to Spartanburg SC. Last night the were sent to Charleston SC to await the storm to move thru and then they will be based in Orlando. Prayers to all people affected, first responders, and volunteers. America is truly in need right now.
In spite of people in dire straights, he said people are coming out and hugging them and crying as they restore the power. He said it is quite emotional.
