I have friends who live(d???) in the affected area as well as a cousin (altho I honestly couldn't care less about her) so I've been watching dozens of feeds sporadically. (John and I wanted to move to the tri-city area - Johnson City/Kingsport/Bristol - when we got out of college so it also hits a little too close to home.)

The vast majority are all saying that FEMA/the governemnt is at the very least making everything more difficult.

The Cajun Navy had a military helicopter prop wash & destroy their donation/staging center. I saw the video of it & it has been confirmed.

The mule team group had to relocate their entire staging area because FEMA showed up & took over their location.

A team with trained cadaver dogs was told to leave or else they would be arrested & their dogs & equipment seized.

All kinds of people are reporting that they've tried to apply for the measly $750 loan (yes, it has to be paid back) that FEMA has offered and are being rejected because most of the things FEMA requires in order to apply has been destroyed.

In Florida, groups who were donating equipment/time to clean up/haul off debris from dmamaged homes have been banned from dumping anything & instructed to take it back to the original locations and "dump it in their yards so FEMA can take care of it sometime in the coming months."

A lot is hearsay but a lot isn't. And it's enough to make me seriously question what's really going on.
