Western NC is experiencing an emergency as or more severe than any we have seen in the US in decades. The entire western 30% of the state is cut off from all outside help by motor vehicle, and many small communities remain cut off from all communication. 1/2

I'm thankful NC Governor Cooper and President Biden are those in the positions to give aid but I hope they realize the scope of the issues and act immediately--this is Katrina scale but across a much wider area 2/2
