    Taking Our Helicopter Into North Carolina's Disaster

    {Cleetus McFarland | 01 October 2024}

    Hope Mill Inc's Fund ran by the lady Erin that coordinated with us - https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-h...67e40baa97b44c

    Jet Fuel for private helicopters - https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-h...67e40baa97b44c

    We took Consuela home, but went right back to where we got her to run some missions. She ran good, helped people out, and we made it home safely. Not the video I ever thought it would be... wild.

    I knew Cleetus McFarland would be out there.

    Good for him!

    I think Derek Beiri over at Vice Grip Garage may have been hit hard by this storm as well, I'm sure he'll get something going to help as soon as he's able.

    ETA - Look at all that white toxicity and supremacy...shameful.

    ETA 2 - That is some $#@! hot flying from a man who is basically a hobbyist pilot. Good $#@!ing work!

    "Equity" should figure into rescue and aid priorities for people "of color" suffering in disasters "not of their own making". White people make hurricanes now?

    Electric cars are worse than worthless in a flood. They're dangerous. They're a liability just sitting in the garage.

    The information coming out of North Carolina is disturbing, hundreds dead, bodies in trees... looting, fights breaking out over limited resources, only cash being accepted.

    And then conspiracies about a major quartz production facility in the country?

    I just got advised by a friend of mine that the only support getting through to victims is from Church based organizations. If it's private groups delivering aid, FEMA is turning away confiscating or destroying the aid. Any more confirmations?

    I'm in the Appalachians. I'm doing OK. My Internet is spotty. My two daughters live 20 miles from me. Their road is closed due to a damaged bridge. I've backpacked in supplies, from food to 2 solar generators. Yesterday they put the generator to good use and were watching their Netflix downloads. When my Internet is reliable, I'll post the full story. It's been an interesting week. The local radio station is useless, and I had absolutely no Internet until last night. It's the first time I have had actual "news".

    Good to get some trusted first hand news! Let us know how it's going...

    It seems to me that one of the most important things that government (or anyone) could provide would be portable water purification plants (filters, distillers or something). Perhaps truck size.

    When the NG conducts relief efforts water support is part of the main support. Ice delivery and bottled water. I have never seen anything like providing tablets and filtering devices, but that makes a lot of sense.

    That reminds me of another example of "We're from the government, and we're here to help ...":

    Apparently, the people down there were getting countless truckloads of donated bottled water - so much of it that they could have gone swimming in the stuff if they had wanted to. Some lady who was being interviewed said that they didn't want or need any more water, but that they desperately needed generators. Some guy in Tennessee or (ironically) Kentucky saw the interview and managed to put together enough money to rent a truck and buy a bunch of generators from Lowe's or Home Depot or some such place. (This guy was unemployed at the time, IIRC.) Then he headed down there to sell those generators to the people who so badly needed them. Of course, he charged as much as the market would bear - and as a result, after selling a few of them, he was reported and arrested for "price gouging." All the remaining generators he had were seized and warehoused as "evidence" of his "crime"- and throughout the rest of the aftermath of the Katrina disaster, those brand-new generators gathered dust, remaining unused by anyone ...

    As part of his story, Stossel interviewed the prosecutor who had handled the case.

    The smug prick actually boasted about how he had "protected" the victims of Katrina from the vile depredations of an exploitative "price gouging" interloper ...

    (I leave it as an exercise for the reader to consider what kind of incentives were thereby signalled to others who might have acted to fill the urgent need for generators - were potential suppliers more likely to say "hey, let's get some generators down there to those people!" or were they more likely to say "meh, to hell with it!" ... ?)
