Just got off the phone a Pastor in the midst of the flooding in TN/NC. He is in one of the most devastated locations. He verified a few things about the situation:
-
Almost all help is being done by private citizens, mainly churches.
-
Private helicopters are flying in the vast majority of the supplies.
-
Local Sheriffs are telling people to feel free to defend their property from looters by whatever means they have. ๐ซ
-
WROL (Without Rule of Law) is happening in some areas, which means looting, robbing, and etc.
-
FEMA's involvement has seriously complicated the rescue efforts.
-
Local Sheriffs have threatened to arrest FEMA workers if they hinder rescue and aid work.
-
The response to this tragedy has been massive and overwhelming. All from private individuals and local Churches.
Pray for these people!
