Unfortunately people get too worried about liability and forget to take what helping resources you can get.This Facebook post is a guy from my hometown. He’s trying to help at lake lure with his helicopter, but got shut down.

On one hand it’s understandable because people are so quick to sue each other, but on the other shit needs to get done and there are risks.
People really can suck.

I agree, but if I’m stuck on a mountain with my kids, liability is my last concern. Get my family out by any means necessary. I’d accept that risk if I was coordinating the effort.

I doubt it. I suppose I can understand why they *might* tell him to turn people away, but without an FAA badge and no NOTAM (notice to airmen) of an active TFR (temporary flight restriction) in that area, I don't see how that dude could even act like he controls the skies.
Plus...who would arrest him and where would they put him?
Not to mention: the first letter of FAA represents Federal
They still need tons of water. I carried up a pallet and a half, people were freaking out for it. Gonna be a dark hole at night up there

Cooking and eating it before the fridge is no bueno.
Salmon filet, steamed over a bed of mixed veggies. Aldi's finest!
Water from the creek to wash it down.
Tomorrow looks like shrimp and oatmeal

Chimney Rock looking West. The river is now north of where the road used to be. Chimney Rock Brewing is on the south bank.

I finally got cell service a little while ago. Here is my neighbor's property. That pond should not be there. It is about 5 foot deep at the road. It eventually drained down, but all that water was trying to go thru a small culvert.

My hunt club is next to the river. This quad stand in the photo is a friend of mine’s. It’s about 20 feet to the top. It’s on a gas line with rolling hills. The river is normally over 500 yards away.

Former Nascar driver Greg Biffle, was on FB yesterday, showing His helicopter which he was flying to Boone, I think. he & other helicopters were collecting goods & trying to make deliveries to the needy, plus trying to get stranded folks out! They Don't carry water, due to it's weight! Friday the cloud cover came in too heavy for them to get in very far. But they will continue their efforts. I think they were staging at the Lincolnton Airport. I also saw another post of Three copters flying out of Charlotte! So That Person that threatened you guys, Better get his act Right!

Greene County, TN 's drinking water intake and pump system on the Nolichucky is a total loss.
