Jean Claude Pierre, press queen, claims plenty of Federal help is available & on sight. But she doesn't say how much aid money has been given or where federal on-ground help is today. Meanwhile, locals are saying they haven't seen any FEMA people or aid offers - zero, zilch, nothing. These press "reporters" should corner her - which towns, specifically, have FEMA people on the ground right this moment? Then confirm whether it's true or not. (I'll call BS ahead of time.)
Also, there was little if any pre-planning or readiness prep by NC state govt, too. A few days before the 27' flood surge (! Some areas), weather forecasters warned that rain-saturated ground would likely create extremely dangerous water run-off & flood torrents in mountain areas. Wish more residents had understood the danger & left, but I don't think the situation was govt/media-pushed or taken seriously enough in advance. Sadly, none of this is surprising. Much of the Federal hurricane financial aid issued to NC has a funny way of walking off on its own.
