The Scale of the Disaster in the Appalachians and Nearby States is Difficult to Comprehend
The map of current power outages gives one an idea. I'm not sure I've seen anything like it. Here is a report from hard-hit Asheville, NC.

They just put it in one big operational pot.
Agree with your advice about the American Red Cross.
