  1. But if you've suffered anything that's claimable with FEMA you'll get that $750 immediately. Now you can probably do it if you haven't but when the FEMA assessors come and look at your stuff they'll probably fine you and add it to your taxes or something.
  2. Yeah. That's what I had my guys who lost their homes do. They got 750 direct deposited in like 3 hrs after the application. They didn't meet with the actual FEMA guy until this Sunday which was 5 days later and he did the actual damage assessment then. They'll get their actual disbursement in like 7-10 days
  3. The $750 is an immediate approval for just immediate food and supplies or whatever. It's not your FEMA disbursement.
  4. Yeah I mean. He told me about that before it became the Internet rumor and it makes me think it started in the emergency response community. He WAS coordinating the trucks but turns out it was for something else. He just allowed himself to connect the dots by suggestion alone. I mean I've seen and smelled bodies. I watched the pull the girl that was smashed up against the bridge pilings in front of my shop out of the water the day before yesterday. I've been in the area every day with my equipment and people since Saturday of last week. But tragedy makes for rumor and on and on
  5. Yeah I'm not discounting what you said but he specifically told me about bodies at the Ingles because that's what was relayed to him by another emergency responder.
  6. Yep. It's crazy the rumor mill. Even my friend from highschool who's an Avery county EMS that I mentioned earlier on the thread who told me about bodies in spruce pine that he was having to coordinate refrigeration trucks for fell victim to the gossip mill among the literal rescue workers. Turns out the trucks were for medical storage and there were no bodies.
  7. I haven't personally but I know lots of people out there doing work clearing roads and trying to get to houses that are still cut off. If you want me to try to see if any of them would like some additional volunteers, I'll reach out in the morning. But I'm about to lose cell phone service for the next couple hours.
  8. The only parts a 19e that I'm aware of that are fully closed is a stretch between elk Park and banner elk and then where it crosses The North toe at powder Mill Creek road
  9. Apparently 88 was only closed briefly, just happened to be during the time I tried to get out there. Gonna head back out again
  10. Been trying to get out to the Sutherland area. Where Hoskins Fork meets the North Fork. I spent a large portion of my childhood in a run down farm house with no refrigerator but a spring fed hold house and one wood burning stove on Oscar Rd. There's people I care about a lot that I haven't heard from yet out there. Couldn't make it through hwy 88 to get there.
  11. Both of my employees that I posted about losing their homes earlier in the thread were able to get FEMA temporary housing assistance and have been put up in a hotel for free for 30 days minimum that was immediately granted no questions asked. While their additional FEMA compensation is assessed.
