equipment. route clearance requested. all the way down to muck out and gut out of flood affected homes and everything in between. ed: that s awesome you are still serving our nation and helping so many people. talk a little bit about working with the federal government and local authorities. on one hand you have the president talking about this for days, the governors in the affected states have been getting people to evacuate and warning everyone. but despite all the warnings and preparations, we keep hearing from our reporting this is unprecedented in terms of rainfall, over 20, 30 inches in some places currently but also in the days ahead people in myrtle beach are going to have heavy rain until tuesday. all the preparation in the world can t really prepare you for that. no, i don t think all the preparation can really get anybody 100 percent ready as we see the storm downgraded over the last week and we see other news start to eplerge and on the storm.
