Hurricane Helena devastation in NC!

FEMA does not... however, there are plenty of people who are willing to take advantage of a bad situation by perpetrating scams. One of those scams is pretending to be a FEMA or other government official.

Hopefully they can narrow the scams. They have it broke down by county, but they may need to do more. I have no clue how they diagnose possible scams and people who lost almost everything including their house.

If they don't even have utilities, food, water, they are in trouble.

There was no warning for this. I was there and watching the weather channel. They were expecting heavy rain. Who would expect this!

FEMA is there to block rescue efforts

I don't know what 's going on up there or if our friend's stories about being stopped from helping is true or not. You have already printed disinformation here, such as homeowners only getting $750 from FEMA, which is not true, and a lot of your posts are more about spreading an anti-government MAGA agenda than really helping the situation..

FEMA does not have enough people there to prevent residents from helping each other, and that is not their role, but FEMA or the National Guard will stop civilians from helping or entering a dangerous area if it looks like they can be harmed or will slow down essential work being performed.

So how much did they get? I heard Kamala say $750, did she lie again?

Floridians don't need to sweat it; Biden and Harris need to support Hezzbolah in Lebannon first, then will undoubtedly get around to Florida sooner or later.

Milton may become a wrecking ball on the West Coast of FL..........it's not looking good at this point.

2 huge disasters within a couple of weeks are not good for anyone......

Top officials in North Carolina and at the Federal Emergency Management Agency responding to Helene are being subjected to a flurry of antisemitic attacks, causing some of them to fear for their safety as they prepare for another hurricane to strike Florida.

Ask your climate questions. With the help of generative Al, we'll try to deliver answers based on our published reporting.

The attacks, which include wild claims that Jewish officials are conspiring to orchestrate the disasters, sabotage the recovery or even seize victims’ property, are being fomented largely on Elon Musk’s X. Antisemitic tropes have commingled on the site with false rumors and conspiracy theories amid the chaos of the recovery effort, according to a report released Tuesday by the nonprofit Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD).

The online vitriol is compounding the challenges facing emergency management officials dealing with the aftermath of Helene and readying a response to Milton, a Category 5 hurricane barreling toward Florida. The volume and virulence of the X posts have dismayed experts who warn that they risk undermining lifesaving response measures.

Every time one thinks they can not reach a new low, they do.

Maybe MTG could borrow the Democrats’ weather machine to shift the storm.

Or, maybe they could get Trump to get out his magic marker and change the trajectory of the storm.
