Western North Carolina is also devastated by the destruction that Tropical Storm Helene caused there. It is still taking place several times after the storm. Numerous North Carolinians are stranded in the mountains and valleys of that region of the state, many of whom are unable to get the necessary remedies or other necessities.

Asheville and other cities are experiencing significant damage and power outages. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has several route and road closures, yet as U. S. 441, the principal bridge between Cherokee and Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville, remains available and decent.
This Twitter article explains some of the difficulties people in North Carolina have, but it’s difficult to say how tough they are.
The terrain and the damage have made rescue efforts difficult, but that has n’t stopped people from trying. But, officials are hindering these attempts, and they’re usually passing the responsible between local, state, and governmental entities.
One Florida business owner who has been attempting to save people for a while posted his concerns in an Instagram picture on Tuesday. Since over the weekend, Jonathan Howard has been working on rescue efforts, and he has n’t stopped explaining what’s going on. You can watch the video here, but I did n’t embed it because of the profanity.
In his comment, Howard wrote,” I try not to guy, but I am really so hungry at the lack of government support, and I need people to hear how hungry this circumstance is.” I do n’t have the time to be kind or cunning at this time. People are actually dying by the day around, and it can all be treated with helicopters. Our state purports that these individuals will perish. They’re so ignorant, confused, and selfish it’s disgusting”.

Howard has been working with Aerial Recovery, a non-profit that assists in saving lives, for the Florida State Guard Special Missions System. However, he is stumbling upon enraging administrative brick walls.

” I’m gonna tell you everything that’s happening from the ground, what I’m actually seeing because what they’re telling you is complete bulls **t on the news, and these politicians do n’t have a f***ing clue and they’re lying”, he began.
Howard emphasized the necessity of planes in the air to aid in person research. Chainsaws and trucks are n’t enough. He said that persons are” 10 yards in, 20 yards, 40 yards in the hills.  , There’s no method to get with them or even talk with them. I actually am flying around in a civilian aircraft in search of SOS messages carved in the mud or painted on the ground, and we are dropping lower and saving them.
He described how he and his friends saved an 11-day-old child while using the media to deny the recovery. An older girl who was receiving air had one day left to go.
Howard noted that he has only witnessed two Blackhawks engaging in search and rescue. On the other hand, he has recorded about 40 human planes attempting to locate victims and save them from the destruction.
He lamented that his whole team, which is located in Florida right now, has no other option to help these people besides what they can drive to. ” The people that are in dire want, they’re out in the hills.  , They are entirely cut off”.
Howard claimed that his congressman was able to obtain two contracted helicopters for search and rescue, but he also noted that even the media is preventing the local authorities from seeing how badly the damage has been destroyed. He related a story that sheriff’s deputies in the Lake Lure area would n’t let CNN video the devastation.

He even gave an example of the buck-passing that’s going on in North Carolina:
I may even state, when I flew around on Sunday, they actually stopped us from going in, the sheriff’s office. And they were upset that the Speaker of the House of North Carolina was blocking us from even entering and trying to kick us out, which I have clarified with North Carolina politicians who reached out to me and said,” That’s complete bulls **t. Speaker of the House has nothing.” He wants you guys it”.
However, this is the kind of social BS that is currently occurring in this country. Like, one’s trying to be in demand without taking any type of behavior. Anyone wants to work together with anyone. Everyone wants to act like a warrior when these people are f****** dying in the hills. And these persons, like I’m saying, these people are on minimal treatment. They’re running out of gas, and there’s no single going to find them.
The most efficient way to find these individuals is to fly in a plane down the river and roads and look for SOS information or people waving us down before we drop down and get them, he continued.
Howard made it clear that some of his coworkers are using their own funds to finance their rescue operations. Air Force employees are also stranded because they are awaiting Title 10 requests that are n’t coming from below, and at the same time, they are also on the ground.
” There’s military helicopters all over here sitting on the ground, and they ca n’t do nothing”, he vented.  ,” Even my JSOC boys in Fayetteville, they ca n’t get orders if they’re not here.  , It is just the most disgusting item, and they’re killing these individuals.  , And I do n’t know why they’re doing it”.

Howard said that he does n’t “know what kind of conspiracy” is behind this bureaucratic nightmare. In my more cynical moments, I ca n’t help but wonder if Gov. Republicans in a reliably red region of the state can fend for themselves and pass away, according to Roy Cooper (D-N. C. ) and the Biden-Harris administration. I do n’t want to believe that, but it’s hard to shake that gut feeling.
Howard’s furious passion was evident as he concluded his talk. He correctly observed that” they are literally allowing these people to f***ing die in the mountains right now because we ca n’t get helicopters.”  , They got money for everything else in the f***ing universe right then, but if they could just get us planes, we may sail out there and save these people.  , So I hope this picture goes viral”.
He said he wo n’t give up if it means saving lives. He also stated that he does n’t care who enrages him.
” I hope these officials get fired”, he concluded.  ,” I hope folks get pissed off.  , They’ll perhaps push me out of the state of North Carolina for doing this.  , But you know what?  , I do n’t care.  , Because if I may keep one more living for it, it’s f***ing worth it to me”.
If only Washington, D.C., and North Carolina officials had this much in mind.
