Why are we not talking about the devastation in Western NC, TN, and other places?

Not saying the numbers are correct as I don’t watch tv and have no clue what the numbers are honestly, but to be fair can you count a body as a death without finding it unless you go through whatever criteria to declare them legally dead? They had landslides and people got swept away in their houses/vehicles and buried. you don’t just magically find them but they start decomp and the gasses start leaking out of the ground you can have an idea where to dig. They’ll probably find more later on in the cleaning up also.
As for “10,000 body bags” I’m a little lost do they need 10,000 more, or are there 10,000 sitting there? it’s an MCI with unknown number of dead/missing, you’d generally have an abundance of body bags. Had they not had enough and started laying out bodies in the open they would also bitch about that. They were also asking for body bags pretty soon after the flooding, if a bunch of agencies all over send body bags you could end up with quite the pile pretty quickly. Then there’s the tons of organic material (food, animals) that were swept away that are decomposing also.
Yes the government sucks bad, but a little common sense and reason helps also.
