I'm not sure what I'd expect FEMA to be doing in any disaster.  The immediate needs require "workers".

Over Governor, over the past two weeks, has coordinated with Electric companies across the country, from as far away as California.

We still have a lot of our own linemen in North Carolina, etc. helping Helene victims.

During Ian he had our own, plus many from other states. 40,000 total linemen.

He has gathered 50,000 this time around.FEMA coordinated nothing on this.
A friend of mine was on the storm crews up in the Ashvile and other areas of NC where water crested above river banks by 30-40 ft. He told me on saturday he had worked 13 straight days and was thinking of hitting fla to close the home the family has in Sarasota. Haven't bothered him since as he stays dialed in and involved might call tonite.

Does the Governor need to declare an emergency and request FEMA assistance? Has this occurred?

It is very cool.  I'd note Ga Power CLAIMS 12% solar and 1% wind and 5% hydro, plus 14% nuclear.

The solar is probably max capacity.

Still no power here.  2 tornados ripped through just down the street so the power poles are demolished.   Nobody even working on them yet.  

Generator only good for the fridge, a couple lamps and a fan.  

Looking like no CFB tomorrow unless I can find a pet friendly hotel 😒
