The devastation is immeasurable. I was able to flee to Atlanta for a couple days, rented a large vehicle and drove supplies into my area today. The stories I am hearing are crazy from friends that I just sat on their porches with. We’re hearing of makeshift morgues and piles of bodies. It makes sense because my street today had a checkpoint due to search and rescue looking for bodies. We had 2 homes on my road float away. It’s grim. Kids are hearing no school till after xmas and rumors are the water won’t be “mostly restored” for about 4 months. No one here realizes the scope of it all, alot of folks have very limited communication. There’s been helicopters nonstop.
Anyways. Had to vent bc I’m now here in my home in the pitch black dark and it’s really surreal. I am safe I’ve got my car and enough gas to get back out, but if anyone can help anyone in the area we really need it. It is so much worse than any media outlet is reporting. I would imagine there’s 5k dead in NC alone
If you're in GA, I think many small airports need help loading supplies onto planes/helos to fly into the disaster areas. Many here in Central nc have been begging for help. I'm heading out super early Sunday morning and taking supplies and a team to help with clean up and whatever we can.
