I’m in Wilmington - the dot on the lower end of the coast. We are watching our mountain and foothills brothers and sisters and SOBBING for them. We’re also rallying. We have been on the receiving end of so much care from them for our disasters, and now we are responding to theirs.
They were not only not prepared for this, there was no way for them to be. It wasn’t just water, the entire earth moved.
They are still in the panic response - trying to get out, find family and friends, and just survive one day so they can try to survive another. Don’t make it harder for them. If you are traveling anywhere near the effected areas - don’t. They need the gas, groceries, and access to driveable roads more than you do.
Donate to the Red Cross if you can. Cash is needed to move resources and supplies to those who need it.
