Hurricane Helena devastation in NC!

[residentialguy]

"Of the seven states hit by Helene, 21 percent of the homes in coastal counties had flood insurance, but only 0.8% of the homes located within inland counties had flood insurance."

Unless I was on a lake or river, I wouldn't have flood insurance either. The storm was such an anomaly.

I give regularly to the Salvation Army. And churches give regularly from Mennonite to Catholic to Baptist. But you don't give 4 Fs for them do you? Then find a secular group that does more. Go donate. I did.

Douglas Lake rose over 21 feet. As expected, water made its way from the Nolichucky, Pigeon & French Broad Rivers after the insane flooding in the mountain towns. Look at the debris sitting in Douglas Lake now. Trees, propane tanks, people's homes & lives from up in those mountains...and we can only imagine what else. That amount of water "equates to 182 billion gallons, which is enough water to fill Neyland Stadium 661 times." Speechless.

God only knows what else is in there. Jewlery, cash, precious valuables memorables. That is bad.

He's self insured. What so complicated?

The complication is getting to the people that need the help the most. This particular self insured person was rich and not getting on national news to cry for help from anybody.

State, Federal, local, whoever. He was not happy. But he did not need help.

I don't know how govt irons out helping people that had no insurance and lost everything.

No, Biden didn’t take FEMA relief money to use on migrants — but Trump did​

Donald Trump falsely accuses President Biden of redirecting disaster funds, a budget maneuver Trump himself approved in 2019.

The Harris-Biden administration says they don’t have any money [for hurricane relief]. … They spent it all on illegal migrants. … They stole the FEMA money just like they stole it from a bank, so they could give it to their illegal immigrants that they want to have vote for them.”
— Former president Donald Trump, remarks at a campaign rally in Saginaw, Mich., Oct. 3
Trump has been trying to weaponize the Hurricane Helene relief efforts, accusing the Biden administration of failing to provide adequate assistance. As part of his critique, he claims that there is no money available for hurricane relief because it was spent already to handle the surge of migrants at the southern border.

“They stole the FEMA money just like they stole it from a bank,” Trump charged, referring to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, adding in the additional falsehood that Vice President Kamala Harris wants illegal immigrants to vote for her. As we have explained many times before, this would be against the law and there is no evidence to support this claim.

Trump’s claims have been echoed by his supporters, such as billionaire Elon Musk. But Trump is completely wrong.

Even though Trump was once president, he still appears to have little clue about the appropriations process. What’s even richer is that when he was president, he did exactly what he claims Biden did — take money from FEMA’s disaster fund to fund migrant programs at the southern border.

NC has "stolen" lots of financial jobs from CA. I would think NC is not like Mississippi and in good financial situation and not needing desperate help.

You are a sick individual.

I donated to the United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County, but I'm not sure if that is the best way to go.
