"I Am Literally Flying Around In A Civilian Helicopter Looking For SOS Messages Carved In The Mud."

I just spent 4 days stranded in Swannanoa with several other people. What this lady says is, for the most part, exactly what I personally witnessed. I was fortunately able to get out yesterday morning and go to my brothers in Winston Salem. People (individuals in the community) were helping people. Not one government official, or even one of hundreds of police we saw pass by, offered water food or even checked on us. Not one time in those 4 days....not once. We had an 80 year old retired school teacher that had been visiting from New Jersey with us.... And, if there was a FEMA representative around, we never saw them.”
