From a close friend tonight re Helene. Upper East TN and much of rural western NC remains abandoned by any gov official agencies. Only churches, neighbors, Cajun Navy, mountain Mules, Samaritan Purse and smaller local charities and groups are trying to help and reach the unreached. Gov MIA.

This just came:
"Talked to the man that borrowed my tow wagon. He said they started in Blair tn then went to Ashville. Wasn't able to help in Ashville bc he didn't have protective chaps, mask, and permits for chain saws. He offered to use his tractor with a lift scoop and a digger but was told no bc he didn't have the proper insurance. Tried to offer the truck load of supplies and was told no. Not femma approved. He said there was a lot of military support in that area and press so they headed up north and stopped at local churches in communities where government support had not been. He said each community had taken it upon them selves to do what they could for each other. Churches are the center points coordinating who needs help with what and who had not been heard from. They found plenty to do in these locations clearing roads and clearing houses. Taking supplies. They helped a 91 year old man
clear his house, remove drywall, and fix his wood burning stove. The man had been mowing his own yard at and taking care of his property at 91. He lost everything even though his house was over a mile from the river. They ran into a rescue squad leader that said in just one area they had recovered over 500 bodies with 1500 still missing.(so the medias death toll is way off). The were amazed at how community was helping community. He said the sad thing that was pointed out to him that hasnt been reported on or thought about is 1. the temps are starting to drop and still no power. 2 the alarming number of suicides in these small communities of people that do not know how to cope or handle what they have experienced. Some things much needed are heaters, damp
rid, fuel for cars, generators, heaters. They need generators. There is still NO phone service of any kind in these areas. They could use long distance radios for communication. Clothing, food, just about anything. They have lost everything. Houses that are still standing just have piles of belongings outside that were washed out. They need PRAYERS."
Trying Hard - thank you for sharing these REAL details about the Helene aftermath. I know that the corrupted corporate media will not share this type of information.
