I live in Yancey county NC. There are no building codes, I mean there are, but in rural places like this you do what you want. The tiny home fiasco is tip of the iceberg of what FEMA has done here. It was the people who lived here that came together and helped each other. Where I am, we did not see FEMA for more than 2 weeks after the storm. Volunteers and neighbors helped each other. I am so thankful for all the great people I met during this tragedy since I only moved here a year ago. All the helping hands helped restore a little faith in humanity for me.
