Oct 4

after such disasters as Katrina and what we now see in WNC. Bodies are being discovered in debris fields. It's a nightmare. They're trying to rescue people still and then have to focus on recovering the bodies being reported around the area, while simultaneously keeping well-intentioned helpers out of the way because in many cases they're disrupting what the local fire departments and others are trying to do.

BTW, I have a feeling I know you. Care to send me a PM and tell me who you are? You likely are indeed a former acquaintance here or there who fully caved to QANON in 2020. Anti-vaxxer perhaps?
