But things will not be anything close to normal, or even livable, in western North Carolina for long. For most cities, water will be without for weeks or electricity for days. What is needed is infrastructure rebuilding, not substation restoration or plant repair. Getting back connected is a relief and a heartbreak. Whole areas have been wiped off the map, with hundreds of people still missing. Stranded. With no way to SOS. Out of oxygen, medicine, food, in flooded conditions, with no way out. The spectrum of devastation begins in a terrible place and ends in a catastrophic tragedy a human suffering that is hard to fathom.

At the time of writing, the immediate need for relief is overwhelming. I can attest that without a full tank of gas, I would be stranded for days, and by Monday, I would be out of water, whether potable or not. The needs are basic and urgent: water, food, electricity. That means bottled water and propane. Then there are the costs of those displaced, those who need to rent Airbnbs for months, those whose livelihoods are likely to be destroyed or disrupted, and those who may have to wait months for FEMA approval or insurance payouts. This is no exaggeration. Mutual aid is the way forward now and in the future. In the 48 hours since I left, I have seen firsthand how

mutual aid groups are literally filling the void when the bureaucracy of federal aid and government agencies gets in the way of immediate emergency assistance. Local mutual aid groups were the ones that had water days before FEMA got there.

Accustomed to the terrible traffic in LA, I found it amazing, almost creepy, how easy it was to get out of town. Asheville is a town of about 100,000 people. I shuddered at the thought of something like this happening where I live, with a population of millions. And someday it would. Within 30 minutes, I was through the airport and getting a single service bar again. Within another 30 minutes, I saw the first of the famous gas stations outside of town, with lines snaking around them. And 15 minutes after that, I was back in normalcy. I ordered a barbecue and realized it was the first hot food I’d had in days. I started shaking a little from the stress of trying to stay calm. I downed two 32-ounce iced teas. Meanwhile, everyone else was… fine.
