    You have to be an EVIL person to deny AMERICANS hit by these disasters.................you are simply EVIL to allow your neighbor to go through this without help. I hope everyone of these fema jerks gets a good case of the shingles with a bonus dose of chlamydia and renal failure

    Evil implies giving a **** and being sadistic. No ****s are given here besides power.

    Major typhoon damage in Alaska. At least 20 missing, some stranded, some injured by flying debris, and houses swept into the Bering Strait. Coast Guard showed up, but that's about it on the fed side. Most evacs were being conducted by private pilots until the Alaska National Guard got their aircraft to the area.

    Looks like NWS cuts also played a role.

    It's one of the most significant airlifts in US history and it is still going on. Here's a photo of about 300 folks being carried to safer places.

    Rebuilding in the same place will be tough. There's no Home Depot to just go get some stuff.
