It's not several communities.It's the entire western part of north carolina, which is the size of massachusetts

[davegilbert]

Ignore people in charge and just help, they seem to have a problem with help, just help it's not against any law to help

[janetphillips]

" STILL" recovering?? They will be recovering for years to come!

[tracydobbins]

What about the people in northern Carolina that can’t get water, food,

[sarahinson]

This is a misleading news story. The pictures of the Mule train are in NC and are independent people who are helping victims of the Hurricane. Please give credit to those individuals making a difference.

[PatriciaBurns-qyyw]

Those videos are from pack horses in Black Mtn NC not Tallahassee so either the news person has worded it wrong or the Red Cross volunteer is not aware that he is showing videos from other areas not Tallahassee! Please give credit to this organization not the Red Cross!

Why does it feel like the media is not showing the true scale of how catastrophic this storm was? Why are we not seeing the government’s full on scale help and help Americans the way they do their countries?😢

The guy in action transferring goods via horse is not red cross. Just a normal citizen. I heard goober was taking credit where credit was not due. Thanks for confirming.

I'm near the Hickory airport and private Choppers have been flying over my home every 15 minutes for days. The help IS coming. This disaster is just SO big😢 NOTE - In Hickory - bring supplies to the Crawdad Stadium NOT to the airport!

Thank you Arizona… I’m a native Floridan who moved back here a cpl months ago to St Pete/Tampa from PhX and it’s bad here. Thank you for helping us bc our gvnmt has abandoned us… again.

I lived in this area, and was an avid hiker. Recognize lots of locations. These are strong folks, but there challenge is huge. Prayers and donations will help

How about reporting the actual size of the area affected. Some communities wiped off the face of the earth. Some people stranded in the mountains with no food or water. Officials turning help away. Officials threatening to arrest private citizens if they don’t stand down. Report what’s really going on. No matter how bad or tragic it is because people need to know. They need to know that the government isn’t coming to help them.

[kathrynmiller]

Please go help these people. Greatly appreciated.

[dsgardenadventures]

Also, report the fact that people are being denied the $750 from FEMA.

[karenchakey]

There are people that have not been rescued yet

[peterpepelehew]

“Still recovering” said as almost there - hell no. Only just starting with hundreds missing

[SuperTruck]

lookup the mining for lithium....and quartz. It will all make sense

[waynejedynak]

Franklin Graham and Samaritan's Purse was there very quickly, very sad that he never gets any credit from the media just because he believes in God.

[cylotron]

Volunteers are a God send... but when will our government actually give a crap about it's own citizens? How about instead of sending all of our hard earned tax payer money to foreign countries, you actually use to help American citizens in desperate need? We the people should have a say in what our tax payer money gets used for.

[ASunrise]

They were devastated and it seems those that be don’t want people rescued. Please Heavenly Father, open ways for people to get the help they need! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
