Hurricane Helena devastation in NC!

[Dublin ohio]

There should be a massive military exercise with crane helicopters dropping supplies to these people. This stuff should be frontloaded into these areas subject to these categories of storms.

If the power companies can be ready the day after with a small army of lineman. No reason the military or the National Guard not to have the same state of readiness.

North Carolina is requesting further assistance with Hurricane Helene disaster relief, and Connecticut is preparing to deliver.

The Office of Gov. Ned Lamont on Thursday afternoon said that the Connecticut National Guard is planning to send additional resources to North Carolina.

The Connecticut National Guard’s Bravo Company, 2-104th Aviation, 1-169th Aviation Regiment will send one more CH-47 Chinook helicopter, one UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter and an aircrew of 16 soldiers to Salisbury, N.C. to aid in the effort of moving resources to stranded communities in the state’s western region.

Lamont’s office said the two helicopters and their aircrews are scheduled to embark from the Army Aviation Support Facility in Windsor Locks on Friday morning. It is expected they will be deployed for around one week.

I think we sent a few crews of Utility workers also to Fla to help there also. All the States need to chip on a bit, water can devastate an area in no time at all and very little can stop it.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is out of money and can't get Americans through the remainder of this Atlantic hurricane season, according to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who said the agency reportedly blew $640 million on the migrant crisis.​

Who said that was false info?

I'm located in Gaston county east of the disaster zone about a 100 miles. All I got were very heavy winds. Never lost power, but did lose Cable Tv & Internet. So I did not know much about how bad it was. My girlfriend lives in Grover NC.west of me, She lost power. Tough for her to buy groceries because ATM's and Banks were closed. Fortunately her one son is chief of the Kings Mountain Police dept. LEO's stick together so they brought canned foods and water to her.


Recovery will take a long time. 27th Engineer Battalion (A) are headquartered at Fort Liberty, North Carolina formerly Ft. bragg. They are enroute to the disaster zone, Plus the aviation helicopter assets at bragg are enroute, they will bring tanker trucks with Jet A Fuel and are able to set up almost anywhere as a refueling point.

a few of you might ask why were these Assets not activated and sent sooner. Well that takes time and they can't just go without first being ordered to by the top federal leadership. AKA Ole Joe or kamala OTOH National guard are controlled by the NC Governor.

Yes it is true that q large amount of FEMA's money is being used to house and feed the illegals.

I previously posted it was millions of millions that people lost plus loved ones. It is billions and billions of dollars that people lost plus many loved ones.

The govt did too on infrastructure. Both private and public lost billions and billions.

It will take years to fix it all. The loved ones can't be fixed.

I'll wager a dollar to a donut that many illegal immigrants will be working on some of it.
