   One of the people in the mountains finally got service and posted online. They said it’s an organization called The Cajun Navy that has been the biggest help. They’re a search and rescue and disaster recovery organization. They’ve been bringing supplies to the mountains in North Carolina. From what they said online the government hasn’t helped them but it was volunteers with the Cajun Navy who did the most. It’s wonderful that there’s an organization like that.

     I’ve been paying probably too much attention to what is going on with the hurricane aftermath. I’m very much a give me unbiased facts information about anything.

     Many people who are in North Carolina have been recording videos on TikTok and Instagram saying what it’s really like. Those are the only people I believe and listen to because it’s factual. They say how bad it is, how FEMA won’t let them help the people who live in the mountains and says FEMA says they need permits to fly helicopters to help people. People who flew up to the mountains anyways got arrested by FEMA. Even their local police is telling FEMA they will arrest anyone preventing in rescue and providing aid. SpaceX engineers say FEMA is seizing the Starlink devices they are delivering and setting up and is trying to ground their helicopters so they can’t provide aid.

     They’ve got mountain goats carrying supplies, horses, mules, people are climbing up mountains trying to sneak past FEMA. Multiple videos from people have said everyone they know got denied the $750 assistance. It’s all so sad. So many of the people say they feel like the government hates them. It’s like full on hunger games over there.

     Dolly Parton donated $1 million of her own money and all her businesses will donate another $1 million through her charity to help with aid for the states affected, so that’s some positive news.

     If I had money to donate I would, but just bought so much inventory. I’m physically disabled so I can’t help.
