That’s what the national guard was susposed to be for.

Here's what it looks like when you live in a country the government cares about. Think they will supply even a fraction of this in the rebuilding effort?
Helping Ukraine - USAID Energy Security Project
$422 million spent.
1,093 Generators
149.73 km of steel and pre-insulated pipes and 12,500 pieces of related materials
3,297 First aid kits. Plus 500 sets of personal protective equipment for electricity and district heating technicians
1 28 MW Gas turbine power plant To supply electricity for 100,000 homes
11 Autotransformers
2,500 km Wire and cable and 25,304 supplemental materials
124 Mobile boiler houses
243 Emergency shelters
460 tons Transformer Oil
20,151 Gas Sector Support Equipment
7,033 tons Industrial salt
125 Pumps
85 Excavators
5 Stationary boiler houses
30 Drones and 30 iPads
6,007 tons Methanol
495 Instrumental transformers
547 Circuit breakers
28 Sets of 245 kV and 330 kV disconnectors
203 Power transformers
10 Bucket trucks
50 ?mergency vehicles
1 Mobile data center
35 Relay protection equipment
28 SETS OF IT equipment
91 Cogeneration Units Delivered and 50 Pieces of Related Equipment
And of course, this is only a small fraction of what Ukraine gets. But the companies that get paid to make all this love it I'm sure and hate Trump for wanting to stop it.

Pretty sure the only thing the people you are talking about are doing is preventing people from getting their stuff and helping others.
Similiar to what happened in Maui.
I honestly haven't paid the most attention to all this, but I have seen videos of people being turned away and threatened to be arrested for trying to return home.

Yeah, flash floods were pretty common in Arizona. The monsoon comes and the land is so dry(you know, desert) that the ground barely soaks up any of it, and suddenly all the dry creek beds have water coming down just like that.
And then they'll erode some areas, overflow and end up taking out other shite. I've seen my entire street fill up in 30 minutes about 3 feet deep. Rescues are pretty common.
The coolest part is when it's in the mountains(where no people really live), a bunch of temporary waterfalls form. The Superstition mountains especially since the ground below them is flat and you get a great view. Very rare to happen, but cool when it does.
You'd think dry ground would absorb water faster, but it's the opposite. Always take those warnings serious.

I am angered by the response to this crisis. No excuse for it.
It didn’t hit a liberal enclave.
The east coast got constant world news media attention for “superstorm Sandy”. Even a star studded benefit concert and celebrities begging for donations.
Now the media isn’t touching this because of an election. AN ELECTION.

They want total control of the area so they can control who is able to gather information. They don't want anyone to be able to call them on their lies when they make something up as to what happened.

This should be priority #1 by our government.

Very very beautiful part of our country from East Tennessee through Virginia the Carolinas.
Prayers for them so many people killed and missing lost homes livelihoods etc.
But yes looters will show up always do

There are still troops sitting around waiting for their deployment orders while our citizens are dying. FEMA is seizing incoming supplies from volunteers because they aren't preferred vendors.

Don’t worry, help is on the way. Shoes on the ground.
