Thank you again for all the outpouring of love for our Ben. I can’t tell you how much it means to me and my family.
He wasn’t just my best friend – he was America’s best friend ❤️
The International Space Station just orbited above Hurricane Milton as it is re-intensifying over the southern Gulf of Mexico.
Spectacular view from space.
It is the 1800’s again in NC.
With almost every road gone, horses and pack mules are going deep into the hills taking supplies and bringing people out.
It’s just an overwhelming how vast the impact is.
NEW: Man uses a mirror to get the attention of a helicopter pilot from over a mile away in North Carolina.
"The mirror that caught our attention well over a mile away," said @gbiffle.
"Only way we were able to find someone stranded in the mountains..."
My god. People in Western NC have no choice but to evacuate by foot. The roads are just gone.
Older people who can’t hike out will starve or die of dehydration if no one gets to them soon. It’s hell.
I am struggling with the reports of children being found in the woods alone.
Everyday Americans Are Using Their Helicopters To Bring Aid To Hurricane Helene Victims

“I got a call from a friend up in North Carolina. His name's Rudy, and he said, "'Hey man, we need some helicopters up here. "'The hurricane damage is really bad, "'and there's a lot of people trapped in the mountains.'" So my wife and I got someone to watch the kids. We loaded up with one bag and flew to North Carolina with no plans and posted that we were on our way.”
“By the end of day two, there was 37 helicopters, private helicopters on site at Hickory Airport helping out.”
“Some of my friends brought in some sick helicopters. A lot of these guys just did an amazing job”
🚨Urgent Update🚨Holy Fuck.
The government is not running ANY search and rescue missions.
This is Johnathan Howard, he’s up there running major rescue operations.
Warning: this is HORRIFIC so be prepared. His info in comments. Please tag NC politicians in comments.
We were trapped in Lake Lure near #Asheville this weekend with three kids, no power, no phone service and a dwindling food supply. We only got out because some amazing souls led us through backroads for two hours to help us get to a freeway before that route flooded over

We cannot say this enough: DO NOT TRAVEL IN OR TO WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA.
Travel in this area for non-emergency purposes is hindering needed emergency response.
