Kids and family and animals are trapped, no way out, no supplies and the only way in or out is accessible by helicopter.

00:08

Lake Lure fire chief or assistant chief maybe and he shut down the whole operation. No flight restriction when

00:14

I went in. It went in place 20 or 30 minutes after the confrontation. You know

00:28

I'm so proud of my son because in his last moments he wasn't screaming for me. He was screaming

00:33

Jesus, Jesus save me, Jesus I hear you, Jesus I'm calling upon you and his wildest dreams and everything that he wanted to be was a superhero and that was his goal in life and instead he's my hero because he reached for something past fleshed, past human, past anything that even grown adults

00:55

I think would reach for. My son called out to the one almighty. Our house is back home destroyed and filling up with water.

01:04

The floors are caving in hundreds of people that's happening to everybody around the city. You're telling us to go online to FEMA and apply and you'll get immediate help for $750.

01:15

Well okay I went on FEMA, I applied and I immediately got denied because apparently I have homeowner's insurance and that's going to cover that and okay sure

01:24

I know it will, it'll get taken care of. Thank God we're all safe and alive. I know it's just things it's a house but it's not immediate and I don't know what is she talking about.

01:32

I have no idea. Nobody I know has had immediate assistance. Nobody's $750 what to our cash app?

01:38

What are you going to get? How are we going to do this? How are we going to get this? So then if we get the $750 that'll barely cover the groceries that we've all lost in our freezers and refrigerators and everything.

01:47

Also there's thousands of pine trees just like this one and oak trees and all these trees all over the entire city.

01:55

Power lines are everywhere. They're ripped apart. Poles are down. Transformers are down. It's going to take weeks to get this repaired in some places.

02:03

Mission Hospital was told, a private hospital, that they are going to go ahead and be the morgue center for body recovery.

02:13

All of the Army Chinook helicopters you're seeing flying overhead they are doing body recovery.

02:21

FEMA said and and you can take this as a direct quote said that they are too tied up at the border to send any more representatives.

02:35

Yeah at the border. So anyhow I guess border control trumps whatever's going on here.

02:44

So they told Mission Hospital they are not sending refrigerated trucks so that they can stack the bodies up and we also overheard that whatever fatality numbers you are hearing this is a quote go ahead and add a couple of zeros.

03:04

So FEMA is too busy with the border. A private hospital and the Army are going to take over body recovery and private individuals with their private helicopters and their private planes are the ones who are flying in supplies.

03:18

I was at hangar 10. I was picking up supplies. There was a stack for the Cajun Navy. There was a stack that looked like it was

03:25

ASPCA. These are all being sent by private individuals. FEMA is doing nothing.

03:32

We're in the states in the storm zone. What do they need after what you saw today? Oh in the storm zone?

03:38

Yes sir. I don't know what storm they're talking about. They're getting everything they need.

03:45

They're very happy about the board. We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have.

03:53

We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.

04:02

This all comes as the Biden -Harris administration spent over a billion dollars from a FEMA program on services for migrants.

04:10

I've been going all over South Carolina like most people. I haven't slept much, but look what's going on in Israel. Our friends in Israel are surrounded by people that want to kill them.
