Flooding, army corp, levees, southeast, wonder how many of these people are teabaggers |
|
who don't want government except if their home or town is being flooded. This is the type of government socialism that we all need.

2. I don't know where you are |
|
But I'm right smack in the middle of the flooding and I can assure you most of the people doing the rescuing are not associated with any government entity whether it's local, state or federal. It's simply neighbors helping neighbors.

6. I seem to recall seeing some fire trucks and helicopters helping out |
|
Guess they were private fire trucks and private rescue helicopters. Who knew?

7. Funny search and resscue efforts are way up, as reported |
|
by the state authorities.
Now if your neighbors are certified in swift water rescue and have the gear, the more power to them
If you are in a low risk area, relatively speaking, perhaps that is why you have not seen your local fire department doing what they do. It is called triage... look it up.
