From North Carolina: We want to thank you for all your help! It’s great having other teams backing us up when things turn bad.

[@jeffdillon8816]

I work for Wake County EMS. I am glad, grateful and honored to see this. Wishing all a safe deployment and safe journey home. Thank you for your help.

[@jpope537]

Hell yeah!

[@mitchelld.7303]

Thanks for the video. Very cool. I think the tractor trailers were the coolest out of them all but the last truck (the black pick up) had the coolest lights imo

[@anitamrobinson]

We just rode alongside this convoy on I-40 from Mebane NC to Graham NC after seeing this video earlier today. 😊

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

That’s epic

[@BoiseValleyRailfanning]

That first truck looks like a crew buggy that you see out here in the west fighting wildfires

[@wvhappykatz]

This is a cold chills invoking video. As a first responder my prayers are with the victims and the awesome heroes who are coming to help. Prayers for safety.

[@08jk74x]

OMG drama queen. This isn’t a big deal other than the wasted tax dollars.

[@FrankTrocchio]

Thanks for coming down to Raleigh Area, we are expecting 7-10 inches Raleigh north, and from Raleigh to Fayetteville 10`15. Thanks for helping from EX Chief NCFD 1997

[@ncvman]

@@FrankTrocchio fake news. Just listened and checked wral. 4-7 raleigh Durham over next 3 days total. Northern counties 3-5. If their predictions are like their snow predictions we’ll be lucky if we get 3 total. This is a nothing storm.

[@howiecowell6645]

Be safe out there my brothers and sisters...🙏🙏

[@angrycrusaderboi1374]

Be safe out there brothers 🫡

[@TheJmich2001]

Nice rigs!

[@Hurst6969]

[@joshw1687]

Stay safe and good luck

[@nordicson2835]

Be safe guys

[@Cumminspower365]

I’m guessing the good old boys couldn’t handle it and had to call in the big dogs !

[@lewistasso8866]

Leaving the state for better weather! Over here yesterday was even worse than down there.🤣

[@Onlybrittxandria]

They are right behind me as I type

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

That’s crazy! Drive safe

[@LarryPinch]

Lights and sirens to five states away. Thats ridiculous

[@FrankTrocchio]

The storm has been stationary here or moving very slow at 3mph. Upper level will come down into Virginia and help speed it up to the mid Atlantic.

[@The_ClassAct_2023]

Is the NJ task force 1 a part of the FEMA urban reach and rescue team?

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

Yes

[@ncvman]

Long drive. I wonder how much gas they will burn through to get here. It’s not even bad here. Lite rain. Zero wind.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

the storm isn't close to us really at all. Check back on Friday Saturday.

[@FrankTrocchio]

Wait for another 12 hours and say that lol

[@gingerbatzle2322]

It's not that bad here we've had worse storms than this during the last hurricane we were out of power for a week and it gets humid after them I'm in ENC

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

the tropical storm won't be here till Friday...

[@08jk74x]

More wasted tax dollars

[@dleblanc3592]

I don’t see why they’re sending them down to North Carolina. We’re going to need them up here come Friday Saturday. Stupid move stupid stupid stupid move.

[@ironeagle22a]

Exactly! guaranteed Bound Brook and Middlesex will be under water as usual. Pull resources not inline with the storms path. Who's running DHS/USAR these days anyway

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

they are forecasted for some odd 20 inches of rain with the storm stalling out overland way more then up here. Don't think it will be anything crazy here, they will need the help more. There's also enough manpower and gear here to handle a fill mission for NJ.

[@ncvman]

@@jerseyshorefireresponse actually that’s not right. South Carolina maybe but raleigh 5 -7 inches tops spread over 3 days which is not bad.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

@@ncvman that’s the staging point, if help is needed south I’m sure they will change plans.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

@@ncvman the national weather service has Raleigh inside of the purple mark for the heaviest rainfall and the heaviest possibility of flash flooding do some research bud
