Tanks to deice roads and submachine gun fire to deice power line structures. Yeah. That's the ticket. The tanks and submachine guns might have another functionality. The freezing and starving people keep hearing the sound of submachine gun fire and keep seeing tanks driving all over the place.
Has the US ever deployed tanks and submachine gin fire during a natural (non-riot) disaster ?
gin = gun
Well, techically, yes. At Snoqualamie Pass here in Wa St. they used to use the 105mm Main Gun from M-60A3 tanks to shoot snowpacks and induce controlled avalanches. Don’t know if that’s still done, but I know our gunners got a kick out of doing it!

I remember a blizzard when there were M-113s out on the highways rescuing people from cars. I think in Ohio.
