Is anybody coming through the Harrisonburg, VA area and can grab a few pallets of wool coats etc and get them to Elizabethton TN?

Thank you so much for being so generous Mark! Just in time for getting more cold weather gear and supplies to the folks in Appalachia.

We're putting together bigger PO's thanks to everyone's donations. In the mean time, we're still there helping with cleanup and anything else.

I have permission, here's the video of my guide talking about his arrest by state troopers. This actually happened Saturday, 10/5, about the same time we were getting turned around by FEMA. I didn't know he was in jail when I left. I couldn't say goodbye.

More receipts. Making runs to the churches, tailored and special orders to fulfill specific needs in that moment for the community. We're not going to show people's homes on the internet.

Direct from the field today. FEMA is confirmed turning back supply convoys and seizing more territory.

Today I had my first direct encounter with FEMA. I've also heard firsthand reports from people I closely work with here on the ground about similar incidents. A trend is forming. I'll do my best to provide an accurate, unbiased analysis of it here. Buckle up, this is a long one.

A lot of shuffling but the forms of transport get smaller and smaller the deeper we go and eventually a lot of what you see ends up on foot.

If you're bring supplies in, food and water are the LEAST of our concerns now. We need blankets, warm clothes, hats, socks, stoves, propane, etc. these folks are going to freeze in a week if we don't get these, we have plenty of food and water for now.

Stop retweeting engagement bait and asking us on the ground to confirm it. We don't have the time for such nonsense. If they cite no source and aren't on the ground themselves, it's probably bullshit. Mute/block and move on.

Even @genericancitizn, @walterlucky1313, and @CelisAssociates made the trek. They did such an awesome job stepping in the gap.
