Just got home at midnight last night after taking a trailer of supplies and working to distribute them and cut trees for three days. It was a wonderful experience. All of the folks we encountered were in good spirits and communities were taking care of each other. We ended up in Bakersville in Mitchell County. The churches were set up as fobs/staging areas. Folks could come there for supplies and hot meals, and we would push out and deliver supplies to people who couldn't get there. We also coordinated well checks on people and organized clean up efforts from there. Only gvt I saw was local law enforcement helping do the same, and a Chinook delivering supplies. Everybody else was citizen volunteers from all over.
