They have been dropping supplies today. The inept Governor had to submit a request for federal help and she spent more time on TV then she did in asking for help. Coast Guard was the first in to start search and rescue which is the first priority.

I am unabashedly biased in the matter, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that I'm really really proud of my Coast Guard shipmates today. Those guys didn't wait for a better plan, they just got in there and started doing what they could. It should be recognized that those pilots and crews and their support groups have been running solid for about 48hrs now. Probably precious little sleep for any of them.

Semper Paratus. Bravo Zulu.

Coast Guard has been AWESOME! Those pictures of them going house to house to check for survivors from their helicopters has been nothing short of amazing.

Yes, those rescue crews have been awesome. Was reported how many are skipping their breaks because they want to finish the job ASAP.
