What I am not seeing is help coming from the National Guard/Armed Forces.
There should be massive rescue efforts from these military services.
Equipment, helicopters, air dropping crucial supplies, food, water, etc.
Not sure if the news media hasn't reported on this or if it isn't happening.
Any way to get more information on what's happening with this??
So I can give you first hand knowledge, our oldest in Greenville SC, left their home, Saturday, with thousands of downed trees, no power, cell towers, or water. On their 11 hour drive to our home in TV, they stopped counting military vehicles at 57, 45 airboats on trailers, and too many to count Duke and Seco trucks.

Sometimes relying on one news station doesn’t give you the entire picture.

Their power estimate was 10/7, however there was more damage to the grid than expected so no new date has been given. Hundreds in their town, are in search and rescue mode. Their information is coming from colleagues, who had safe shelter, outside their town.
