    North Carolina residents struggle with Hurricane Helene recovery. The storm caused $50 billion in damage, destroying homes and infrastructure. FEMA is providing aid, but some locals are dissatisfied. Full recovery could take years.

      THAT's an understatement. "Here's your 750$" (that you have to pay back)! OH, thank you SO much, Fema! Fema literally shut down aid and recovery volunteers.

      The day after the storm the Biden administration sent 150M to Lebanon for aid and over 200M to Israel and 8B to house illegal immegrants

    Why are both of your senators from NC saying you only had 200 people killed and some missing when rescuers are saying 10,000 have died and 10,000 more missing?

      It's not that many people dead. The devastation is unreal. Chuck Edwards and Tillis are absolute failures of leaders and I want to see them impeached for their shilling of FEMA while their constituents were begging them to do something about this mass civil rights violation. But there's no way the death toll was that high. I think most of the dead happened here in the Asheville area and most of those are homeless. They don't have to update the official tolls as long as they don't identify the remains and notify next of kin. The mayor of Asheville implemented a policy of driving the homeless out of the city and into those wooded flood plain areas along the rivers. She had them removed from the city before the storm. That's where they were camped when the storm hit. +70 foot surge swept them out. One of them I had been helping was not even able to speak when I caught up to her about four days later. I could clearly see she was swept into that current. I don't know how she survived. I bought her new clothes. She gave up on the side of the road in Hooper's Creek. A difficult case before the storm, but it's probably hopeless now after what this government did to her. My understanding also is that NCDOT ordered those construction crews to simply cover over those debris piles along the rivers when rebuilding the roads. That's where the remains are located. They are actively trying to cover up the remains to keep the body counts low. I know a bit about how the government was supposed to respond and a lot of people in government technically could go to trial for this.

    Just like east Palestine, Ohio. You too will be forgotten by your government. Eventually, the headlines will disappear in mainstream media. Things will go back to normal and some jackass politicians will want you to vote for them, in your place.

    FEMA is disaster assistance, not to be confused with a full replacement insurance policy. In other words, it will help but won't cover everything.

      That's right. What's far more important is that Fema pay for illegal criminals squatting all over the country, right?

      I live in Chimney Rock , NC. There is no Fema or national guard. They were here for a week for photo opps and then they left. I faired better than most . I watched all my neighbors houses float by me. There are so many old couples who have lost everything. They have cried when I approached them in order to get them access to their homes. I ask the local fire men to help me dig out tons of mud in front of our house so my wife who is a nurse can get to work . The pricks refused . It would have taken an hour with their help it took me 7 days. I did see them eating free food everyday. I refuse to ever ask for any government help. I have neighbors have had to live with me and I have fed several families. My neighbors have been completely abandoned and they need government help and the government is nowhere to be found. I did read today Biden has '''to return from his vacation to get more money for Ukraine and Israel''' his words.

      @porscheguy3820 I'm sorry to hear this. I know FEMA assistance is limited. You may be required to get flood insurance so brace yourself, it's expensive. If you don't have a mortgage it won't matter other than if it happens again you will be self insured. Look up other disasters like Hawaii, California and Florida to get a better understanding of what to expect from FEMA.
