Did anyone see that the red truck that got flooded had a person inside it. I hope they got out. So scary.

They stopped a helicopter pilot from rescuing some people in his own helicopter and on his own dime in the lake lure area.

There coving it up. My sisters friend lived up there and they told everyone at 6 am to evacuate. But they told them way to late. So hundreds of people drowned. Her friend tried to give to Ingles and a cop way turning people away and calling it looting.

The mud slide didn't go all the way to the top of the mountain , we can actually see on the video where it stops and where the trees start . I wish people would stop with the exaggeration when there is enough destruction to talk about.

Trump is the only one that has shown up to help us during this tragedy while Biden lays on the beach and Kamala flies around in her plane!

Where is the military? Why isn't the Charlotte air guard with their C-17's airdropping supplies to them? We can airdrop MRE's and water to Gaza but cannot for our own people?

[@laetitiavisagie-gg6kk]

Stop protecting Israel

[@AraCarrano]

They are. Little different when you give aid to an area that was boiling over for months versus an overnight disaster in an area that is topographically challenging It must be done strategically. Some of the worst hit areas are the lowest population areas. Ashville airport is the staging area where c-17s and ch-47s are working on this monumental task. Not to mention the rescue searches and recovery of bodies phase is still underway. Do you expect them to just drop MRE's blindly on areas with no one to benefit? Imagine if the Government had been shut down mid hurricane season.

[@donyoung7874]

Watch the news, the Guard is there on the ground now. Your worries can now rest.

Whoo good thing the Tennessee National Guard is deployed to foreign lands. God forbid they should deploy for a disaster at home.

This should wake everybody up in these areas that vote democrat. The only person that has came to help is Trump! Keep sending prayers to us here in the Appalachians!
