Over half-a-million pounds of supplies have been delivered to western North Carolina by volunteers flying private helicopters after Hurricane Helene, local reports have said.
“Already 500,000 pounds of supplies have been delivered,” the outlet reported.
Adam Smith drove 18 hours from Texas when he could not get through to his daughter and her mother stuck in North Carolina, he told WRAL.
“There’s homes that are washed out, people have lost their lives,” he continued.
“There’s a lot of people left with nothing, there’s a lot of displaced people.
Other private helicopter pilots on the scene of Helene’s devastation include former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle, who has been flying his aircraft with Operation Airdrop, Breitbart News reported.
After being reunited with his family, Smith organized Savage Operations Center, which now has 150 volunteers and dozens of choppers delivering much-needed aid to people trapped in the Appalachian mountains.
