My guess - FEMA was not at all prepared for that level of devistation. Git 'er done.

Probably because its a politically infected, taxpayer funded circle jerk.

I really love how Americans get together to solve problems. Now what they need is for relatives who have family up in those mountains to tell them where the homes can be located. Who is up there and how to find them. A lot of those places may not be seen from the air without directions.

An entire Federal agency dedicated to responding to natural disasters has been reduced to being an immigrants entitlement program.

Biden and FEMA will have the military block them. Want to bet? This may be the powder keg. I hope these guys call their bluff.

A couple of days ago there a sequence of memes; one of which featured a blond woman wearing a ‘Packers’ hat whose letters ran backwards (photo was reversed, apparently)...can anyone dig that up???

Nice! The people helping the people. God bless the Redneck Air Force. ♥️ 🇺🇸

We had the Cajun Navy come in from Louisiana with their pickups and their boats during Hurricane Harvey in 2017. They were stellar and performed countless rescues. We are forever grateful.

They’re using their own aircraft to fly doctors, medicine, generators, fuel and food to isolated...

Checking Skyvector.com I am amazed to not see the entire coast covered by a TFR.

Lead, follow or get out of the way - and amazingly the FAA is getting out of the way.

Be warned - small towns are “taxing” good Samaritans going up there to help with bs tickets. Tail lights out, blinkers …. They figure you won’t comeand fight it. Or debris caused damage but you need to pay your fair share. So be ready for small towns cashing revenue collections. Know personally from a work friend that the locals around the area are stepping up any and all enforcement to get 100-200 dollar tickets. Just trying to go help. Yes you in eastern Tennessee. Screw you. Spend thousands of your personal $ to get supplies in to be taxed coming out. Not a joke or even a bad scam. It’s what is happening. The government is way out of control.

That doesn't explain their orchestrated non-response. They are DELIBERATELY slow walking it.

Thankfully, there's plenty of former military here to keep off self-important egotists trying to shut down civilian rescue efforts. I would suspect that any individual who threatened to arrest someone flying in their own helicopter and helping others would regret it for a very long time when the vets were done with him.
