      https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1841601067978539473 kind of like Maui, here is $750.

      https://x.com/amuse/status/1841210404451549418 FEMA out of money.

      Lots of stories about the feds and local fire chiefs and police chiefs preventing private citizens from rescuing people or delivering supplies. Apparently a bunch of temporary flight restrictions put into place.

      Biden finally issued he Title 10 orders around noon EDT. Which begs the question, why wasn’t this done on Saturday or Sunday? Fort Bragg and Camp Lejune have specialized disaster relief units right in that area. They’ve been twiddling their thumbs for at least three days.

      This is just Western North Carolina. We’re talking Katrina level casualties, and the media hardly cares. This is so terrible on so many levels.

      This thing is growing. It is going to get worse before better.  A week out we start to lose major things like medicines and oxygen and basic food. Lots of people have pantries that can provide for a few days. The good news out of thr mountains is that the people seem to be doing it without the government, which of course is the whole point of wanting small government.

      we haven’t come close to counting the casualties.

      Good, thoughtful explainer on the confluence of events that lead to the flooding.  Apparently they had storms before, that saturated the ground and contributed to flooding.  Then there is the storm just sitting there, dumping up to 40 inches of rain on areas.
