Joe Ferguson forever Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 (edited) We went to Damascus today. It's a mess but recovering well. FEMA was there, Virginia EMA and the United Way. There's an old medium sized box store full of supplies. They're not accepting more. There were residents picking up food, water, clothing, snacks... The state police were there when we finished our shift. You sign a waiver, write your name on a piece of tape to put on your shirt and tie piece of knitting wool on your wrist. We carpooled into the rectory of the Methodist church. Underneath was choked with soaked insulation, mud, trees, windows, some tools, all kinds of stuff. A lady from the church brought lunch. The rest of town is like a big construction site especially in the area we were in. The house next door was off its foundation, broken in half, with a nissan sentra wedged under the garage half.' At the volunteer center they also had nurses giving free vaccines. They didn't need a doc today. It's going to set back the people and the town but the recovery effort was impressive.

"On Saturday, FEMA workers had to halt their work in Rutherford County due to reports National Guard troops saw “armed militia” threatening the workers, according to the Washington Post, which cited an email to federal agencies helping with the response, verified by unnamed federal officials. It’s not clear if the threat was credible." https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/14/us/fema-helene-north-carolina-reported-threats/index.html Stories in the usual places. got to read past the headlines. this happens to you guys a LOT. seems like you would learn to check sources before raging.
