Look at my hide here. Insane. Woah. Did you see that? This is Susan Frost. Did anyone else see that? Uh-huh. Great things. It's windy, and then there's a flash. And I think that's when a tree is It's falling on a power line. The power goes out. Our generator kicks in. The camera comes back online, and then the forest is on fire. Summary: Susan Frost is amazed by something she sees and asks if anyone else saw it. Speaker 1 explains that there was a flash, possibly caused by a tree falling on a power line during the windy weather. This caused a power outage, but their generator started working. The camera comes back online, only to reveal that the forest is now on fire.

I saw people stuck in traffic in Atlanta in the back of a budget truck. They needed help, so I made a call for them. Thankfully, the situation improved, and I am proud of not giving up on them.

The speaker wants to install Starlink to demonstrate it's the only way they can connect with their convoy.

A person's friend has been running trips to Western North Carolina to deliver medicine, food, and water, rescue people, and recover bodies. The speaker had claimed the government was interfering, but the friend said there was no malfeasance, just that the government was bloated and slow. However, a government entity arrived at the Hickory Airport and told them to immediately stop their flights and leave within two hours. The volunteers were sent home, and the company had to call in staff to pack up. Refrigerators full of insulin and breast milk had to be thrown away. No reason was given, and no one came to replace them. The speaker suggests that disaster responses are being controlled, and people should help others without seeking permission. The speaker believes we are approaching a time where actions will be for one side or the other, framing it as good versus evil.

The speakers landed and met Liz. They have a special parachute team to help them fly around and get people out. They are linking up with locals because the information they are getting is sometimes old and they have limited air assets. Eric Claire with Aerial Recovery is doing a supply drop for a family in Banner Elk. The river washed out all the bridges, so they are trying to contact the family to drive to the road on the other side. They hiked to the house and will get a truck or ATV to cross the river with supplies.

Regarding Hurricane Helene relief efforts in Western North Carolina, a speaker reported that a shelter wouldn't allow stranded refugees to shower without flip-flops, so 18,000 pairs were delivered. The speaker also claimed FEMA wanted to confiscate a pallet of chainsaws meant for locals clearing blocked roads, so it was diverted. A shipment meant for neglected seniors was also rerouted to avoid inventory delays. The speaker emphasized neighbors helping neighbors and circumventing government obstacles. While expressing gratitude for support from NYPD, fire departments, linemen, and emergency personnel, the speaker criticized government agencies for hindering aid. The speaker also stated that the announced financial aid was insufficient and called for massive supply drops of water, ATVs, chainsaws, and fuel, asserting that Western North Carolina will recover with or without government assistance.

Due to a lack of electricity lasting two weeks in 30-degree weather, there is no hot water. Hot water is made on the stove to take a bath. Boiling water is put in the bathtub because it is too cold outside for an instant heated propane hot shower, which has been a recent luxury. There is no electricity, and the speaker asks, "Where's FEMA?"

The speaker wants to install Starlink to demonstrate it's the only way to connect with their convoy.

Sue expresses immense gratitude for the help she has received. Speaker 0 confirms that Starlink is active, generators are running at Sue's and her daughter's houses, and efforts are underway to restore well water. Speaker 1 mentions wiring the generator to power the well, providing water to both houses. Speaker 0 notes that Starlink will enable telemetry to Sue's cardiologist.

Sue appreciates that Speaker 0 has kept their word, and Speaker 0 credits John and his crew for their exceptional work. Speaker 0 says they will stay in touch and are praying for Sue. Speaker 1 will send a video of the lights once everything is connected.

A congressman and Glenn visit a disaster assistance registration site. The site aims to get people into the system for financial aid, starting with special needs assistance. Yesterday, they handed out flyers due to connectivity issues, directing people to online resources or a nearby PRC. A major problem is that many lack the ability to access online information or even know the location exists. While the news media is expected to inform the public, many residents lack power. Door-to-door outreach is conducted by a separate cadre after the "mass people" are processed. The registration unit just arrived and will relocate to the car wash area for better visibility. The priority is getting people registered for financial assistance, but verifying damages and residency is also necessary to prevent fraud. The team is from various states and operates from 9 AM to 5 PM.

They are interrupting our ability to conduct missions. A security guard at a hotel said the entire hotel was booked for federal employees, so people pulled out of a mountain had no place to go. The speaker slept in a car and smells like foot and death, as does the entire team. No one slept. They got done around 3 a.m. and were back in the air when the sun came up. The speaker wants people to understand how incredible the organization, Save Our Allies, is and all the work that the volunteers are doing. This is biblical level devastation and apocalyptic.

I felt like I was in another country. After Hurricane Helene, Charlie and I teamed up for rescue efforts in North Carolina. We encountered a young man who provided us with a ground-to-air radio and helped us find a helicopter ride. At a checkpoint, police recognized our organization, Aerial Recovery, and assisted us. We discovered a woman in distress during a search and learned that small towns lacked resources despite Asheville being stocked. Our first mission involved rescuing a premature baby in critical condition. We coordinated with a civilian helicopter pilot to land at a hospital, navigating challenging conditions. The emotional relief upon delivering the baby to medical staff was overwhelming. We also received a call about a man whose parents were trapped, leading us to search for SOS signals painted on the ground, as many people had no means to communicate their needs.

FEMA told the speaker they can't get them a phone. The speaker has no ID or way to pay for food or gas and is stuck sleeping in a leaking car, wearing the same clothes since a 30-foot wall of water pushed through to Lake Lewer. The speaker's house washed away, and they lost their cat and two geckos. It was a miracle they made it. When the speaker called 911, they were told to get to higher ground as the waters came into the house. The 911 operator said they were overwhelmed with calls and could only advise getting to higher ground.

Hurricane Helene caused problems in East Tennessee, North Carolina, and parts of Georgia. The speaker, who is on location taking photos, reports not seeing any presence of the federal government. However, the speaker has encountered Canadian line crews working to restore power to affected communities. The speaker expresses support for Canada's efforts.

A person's friend has been running trips to Western North Carolina to deliver medicine, food, and water, rescue people, and recover bodies. Initially, the friend disagreed with the claim that the government was interfering with these efforts. However, a government entity arrived at Hickory Airport and told them to immediately stop their flights and leave within two hours. Volunteers were sent home, and corporate staff had to pack everything. Refrigerators full of insulin and breast milk were thrown away. No reason was given, and no one replaced them. The speaker suggests that disaster responses are being controlled and advises people to help without seeking permission. The speaker believes we are approaching a time where actions will be for one side or the other, framing it as good versus evil.

The speaker found it alarming that Asheville was reportedly disconnected from all roads, with nobody allowed in or out. Upon arriving in Asheville, the speaker set up personal Starlink devices at hotels where state troopers were staying. The troopers then flocked to the Starlink devices because they lacked connectivity, their radios were unusable, and they hadn't been provided Starlinks. The speaker claims that Biden, Harris, and Governor Roy Cooper illegally canceled the contracts for these Starlinks, leaving first responders unable to communicate. The speaker believes this lack of communication cost lives and that private citizens had to provide their own Starlink devices.

Today, I couldn't do much as I focused on getting water for basic needs like showering and drinking. Luckily, our neighbor had a generator that helped pump water from underground. This allowed me to take a shower and take care of my immediate needs.

My heart is overflowing today! The Amish from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, are sending a 56-passenger bus to Swannanoa, North Carolina, to build cabins for those who lost their homes. They'll be here from Monday to Friday, returning with a new crew the following week, and they prefer to work independently. Recently, I mentioned starting an Operation Santa Claus for local kids affected by the disaster, and look at the amazing packages Amazon delivered! My neighbors saw the packages and are also donating from the Amazon wish list. Thanks to everyone’s generosity, the children in the mountains will have a Christmas, and the Amish will help rebuild Swannanoa quickly.

Till last night, despite the cold and darkness, we worked to help those affected by Helene. The owner of Precision Grading is providing thousands of dollars in free construction and demolition work. He’s demolishing a home in Batcave that was swept away, helping bring closure to the community. He’s also recovering cherished items, like a chandelier and a beloved book. With personal savings and donations, he’s built bridges for those in need, including elderly residents who hadn’t been able to leave their homes for 90 days. He’s now focused on helping over 30 people who have nowhere else to turn. The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina has distributed over $20 million, with $1.5 million going to ABCCM for emergency support. Donations can be made through the QR code on the screen.

A team is in the area to help people register for financial assistance and other aid, such as housing and generators. They are prioritizing getting people into the system quickly. The team arrived yesterday but lacked connectivity. Today they have connectivity and are registering people. Tomorrow, they will move the unit near the car wash. The team distributes flyers and encourages people to apply online, where they can upload documents. Special needs assistance is the first aid being distributed, with more to come after damage verification. Team members are from various states, including Montana, Florida, and Texas. A point of concern is how people without power or media access will know about the assistance. Door-to-door assistance is handled by a different department and is "above" the current team's purview. The team was advised to increase visibility by positioning themselves on the main road with signage.

Over 500,000 square miles of the US lack cell service. This means emergency texts aren't sent, emotional messages go undelivered, and memories remain unshared. But T-Mobile is changing that. We've partnered with Starlink to launch hundreds of satellites, creating the first space-based network that automatically connects to your existing phone. Connection matters, so we're offering free access to anyone, regardless of their carrier. T-Mobile Starlink: If you can see the sky, you're connected.

Day 10 after the hurricane in North Carolina, the speaker is at an airport in Boone, where Elon Musk provided several hundred Starlink units. The speaker is deploying in a second wave on Blackhawk helicopters into isolated areas to deliver the units. The first deployment will provide internet access for prescriptions and allow residents to communicate their needs. Upon arrival, locals reported that no aid, including FEMA, had reached them yet, and they felt abandoned.

The speaker recounts arriving at a supply drop-off location in Morbenton, expecting to find a bustling operation. Instead, they discovered they were the only ones there to provide support. The site consisted of only three tents and approximately 20 cases of water. A 16-year-old girl expressed immense gratitude for the pads they brought, explaining that because they were in Morbenton, not Asheville, they had received virtually no supplies.

People were collecting food and clothes. Speaker 1 mentioned thinking about the 10-year-old people. Speaker 0 shared a story about a man who came up and wanted food. Everyone gathered around him, hugged him, and gave him a lot of food and other things. They had planned to keep some stoves to cook for everyone, but they decided to give them up because they thought it would make things better. Overall, the situation was sad.

The speaker recounts a harrowing experience driving to Grovestone Mountain in Asheville, which they claim is now impassable. They believe they drove the last truck that will make it up there. Verizon and friends said they wouldn't make it, but they did. Near Grovestone in Nashville, there are four days of power. The speaker emptied their 210-gallon tank, arriving with the fuel needle below empty. City and Verizon techs, neighbors, and others doubted they could make it, but they succeeded in getting there and back. The speaker identifies a tower as theirs.
