Downloading kids shows to put on SD cards is such a brilliant idea. Giving the parents room to breath for a minute to think things through clearly. Thanks Seth you're a good dude. My brother and sister in law are over there.

I am a firm believer in learning how to be without electronics. If the power were to go out, I can keep kids entertained for months with things they enjoy doing for hours. Being prepared for inconveniences is great.

[@plmn93]

Faith in humanity restored. Faith in government is another story. Along with the mainstream media which is not telling us these stories. Thank goodness for all the KZbinrs getting the real stories out.

[@MSUTri]

It definitely makes me think about how I could be more prepared for an emergency. Extra cash, more non-perishable foods, more filtered water, full tanks of gas, solar chargers, etc. Even if I don't use them, others may need them in an emergency.

[@NerdyPengin]

Preparedness should be about having knowledge three steps removed. So, for example, being able to make food from ingredients available to you instead of having the item in a boxed form, ready to cook. Furnace goes out, space heater and knowledge how to warm a house in other ways is beneficial. Phones/internet go down, know how to communicate with those necessary for you and entertain yourself by other methods. This gentleman went around helping others when there's no phone/internet - which is a good way to spend time if you have the means and willingness.

[@shawnpitman876]

Only those of you who choose to live your life in a state of perpetual debt. I haven't owned a single credit card my entire life.

[@bobfranke2347]

🇺🇸 Americans are rallying w/ effort and organizing methods to bypass a worthless FEMA. Donation$ are best made to Churches and established agencies that use our funds to purchase/order what is needed most. Pharmacies are VERY important to those who cannot be evacuated by medical personnel. Lot of donation$ being made by Patriots like Parton, Wallen, Biffle, Musk, Trump, and thousands of others. I've wired bank fund$ to Boone, NC. Let's ALL help out those fellow Americans who ask for little, now have little left, and can appreciate our generosity. 🇺🇸 America first 👍

It sucks that it takes a natural disaster like this for us all to come together and help, but I'm still glad to see the sense of community still alive.

[@jollyandwaylo]

Community is always all around us, you just don't notice it when it is everyday little things that people do for each other. If you would like to see more of it, volunteer, you will see it everyday.

[@nolansprojects2840]

That’s what I love about many churches, even though I’m not super religious. They have small communities that have large impacts. Recently my church asked for volunteers to help tear down and rebuild a house for a woman and her kids who had a rough life, to say the least. They didn’t even have usable plumbing. They would walk to a gas station to have access to running water.

[@shannongolden]

In NC we are like this everyday. We are in good company in our hard time because of our friendly nature. We did not need a disaster to showcase our Neighborly ways. NC is one of the top 5 most friendliest states in the US. Its a lifestyle and attitude. Even if we get busy becoming modern, our sense of kindness Never Goes Away.

[@___Bruh__]

@@shannongolden I can relate to that. I used to live in a relatively small town, but now it has grown so much so fast, that it's hard to connect with everyone

[@shannongolden]

I feel yah! Same here. There is so much tourism and migration after cov-id its outrageous and bizarre. It feels weird to see so many people in small towns. Our roads are so busy with the influx and we have to share all of our local resources with literal Non-Stop tourist. But, we some how stay the same internally, you know what I mean? ​@@___Bruh__

[@Ostsol]

[@PatrickRemington]

The heart of scripture is to love our neighbor as our self and we love others because He first loved us and gave himself up for us.. This is why churches are willing to bend over backwards for others in need. We've been given a given a gift we don't deserve. We want to share that with others.
