I'm in one of the counties on the eastern line of the declared disaster area. I had no power from Friday to Tuesday afternoon. Ours was allegedly repaired by Canadian linemen, but I've seen about six different power company logos in my county. Today I was over in Hickory where they're staging a lot of the people and supplies for our area and to go west to Asheville. It is crawling with activity that is obviously disaster related. National Guard trucks, power trucks of all sizes, cops and emergency response people of all sorts and logos. This was on I-40 and also on the main drag for the mall, shopping, hotels, etc , Hwy 64.
I talked to a couple of guys that looked like linemen or firefighters at Wally World and their jackets were emblazoned with FEMA - ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA.
