As you know I've posted a week or so ago about the situation in WNC. I can tell you this FEMA and the state hasn't helped a bit. Most people got denied the $750 including me after calling FEMA three times and visiting their tent. The FEMA folks at the tent in Arden NC were nice but powerless. The did have a FEMA photographer there to make FEMA look good. I wasn't impressed.

Truth is the locals have gone above and beyond. The media WLOS ABC affiliate is a complete joke. WWNC 570 AM helped with local issues such as search and rescue and helping coordinate supplies live over the air, but was very hesitant to call out the State, FEMA, or Governor Cooper with the excuse 'talk politics later'.

This area will never be the same again. So many lost their livelihoods and businesses. The death count is being covered up. Believe it. The state slow walked everything. Believe it. I believe its been done on purpose.

Keep us in your prayers. So many dislodged from normal life, and so many missing and most likely perished. I hope we can return to normalcy but I doubt it will happen. This has changed the area for the foreseeable future.
