Hey Josh, I met you a few times while at Camp Miller, once in late October, the other at Thanksgiving. I was part of the tree crews, and although my skills weren't up par with the pro cutters/climbers/riggers, everyone was put to use where they're skills were best utilized. We didn't spend time swapping names (most had nicknames anyway), as you knew there would be someone new the next day, and the faces were always changing. Whether we were cutting out a multi million dollar property, or a mobile home, the volunteers were there to help anyone who needed it, and they did. Still a ton to do, even 3 months later, so if anyone is thinking it's too late to help, it's not. Still tons to do, and they will use anyone who shows up. Great video, Josh!
what part of Missouri do you live. My husband and I were with a group and worked up off Catail Road in Pensacola about 3 weeks after the storm. We live in the St. Louis area. We worked with Camp Miller and the fire station to connect with local home owners to find work we could do at their home for tree removal and such. Thanks for sharing. We would like to go back. So much more help needed. ,
It is true that local people and volunteers did awesome work. But this guy must not have ventured out into the rest of our county. Every fire department and community had setups similar to Camp Miller. All provided lifesaving assistance to communities. And the National Guard and FEMA were here from the start! There were many hundreds of Guard and active military here with huge trucks, road building equipment and ATVs who helped with search and rescue, delivering supplies, road building, debris removal, and more. FEMA brought millions of dollars to help individuals but also helped to finance many nonprofits that provided hot meals, showers, toilets and laundry facilities, cleanup and repairs. FEMA paid the salaries of electric linemen and construction workers who came from all over the country to help repair our infrastructure. I don't know how this person did not see that. The military heavy equipment was parked on a hill just outside of the town of Burnsville with a sign saying Cougar Base Camp and would be hard to miss if you drive by in the early morning before they drove out to work all around our county. FEMA was not as visible, but they have had offices to help people apply for the $750 for immediate needs and for help with repairing homes and bridges. They are still here, but the paperwork and repairs take time. We appreciate our local folks in every community who have given their time and talents to help each other, and also the volunteers who have come from everywhere with donations and hard work. We also appreciate the millions of dollars of help from the state and national disaster relief organizations. We still have years of work ahead to get roads and bridges completely repaired and to get everyone back into stable and comfortable homes. The scope of the damage is just hard to imagine. We appreciate the help from everyone, and please keep us in your prayers.
Hello, I am the guy that made the video. I am sorry for all you guys have been through. You are in fact correct, I did not venture out into the rest of the county hardly at all. I spent the entire month in Pensacola. I wanted to go to the hard to reach areas that may not be getting help. So while I may not have seen the cities and what was going on, I will in turn flip the question back to you, and ask how much time you spent in Pensacola, or small towns? I saw this all first hand, and documented the entire journey every day. What i am saying is absolutely %100 the truth of what was happening there. I saw it first hand for a month, and documented it all on this channel. Feel free to check it out. I in turn ask what did you see when you where there in Pensacola? If you werent there, than its hard to say whats going on there. I was simply telling the story of what i saw in that small town while I was there. I showed up a month after the storm had hit, so i openly am saying I didn't see it from the start. I did state the road crews did the main road, and electric companies where working, but besides that there was nothing. (Besides the shower, bathroom, and laundry.) Which leads me full circle to the people who needed help. Most of the town didn't get power until 6 weeks after the storm, (about halfway through my stay.) How do you think those people survived with no power? What about the side roads, and the fact they had no access to their homes or driveways. What about the damaged homes that where barely holding together, or where water damaged and getting mold. All while people where still living there? 750 dollars did nothing, and there was no one there but volunteers helping. I understand government is slow, but they need to figure out how to help people in desperate need, as there was no one but us. How do you think those people would have gotten by if they depended on the government? They simply wouldn't have, as the federal government wasnt there. You would think with all our taxes, and great minds of the world we could figure out how to help people in this situation immediately. They needed help right then, you honestly can't expect them to live without power or access in and out of thier homes for months while they wait on a slow government to help. They would not make it if they waited on the government. And I still don't think they are getting any help. So while I appreciate your input, I honestly dont understand how you cant see how big of a problem this is. I do like hearing everyone's perspective, and I would be happy to interview you and hear your side. My phone number is 5732868316. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
I think I said about all I needed to say above. We had a lot of help from FEMA and the military. Are you saying you never saw them? We deeply appreciate all the help from every quarter, but we know that locals and people from everywhere worked so hard all over the county, just as hard as they worked at Pensacola. I live very near to West Yancey FD, and was so amazed at how our local folks went to check on their neighbors throughout our end of the county. They hauled supplies to folks who were stranded and brought them out if needed. We collected, organized and distributed tons of supplies. We cooked three hot meals every day for months, and some of that was funded by FEMA. FEMA's job is mostly to provide funding for many of the other groups who help. I just want the reports to be fair and balanced. Everyone worked hard, and everyone who was able helped. There is still much to be done.
