@nazokiyoubinbou #HurricaneHelene devastates southeastern US, millions without power
Sept 29, 2024
"Damage estimates ranged from $15 billion to more than $100 billion, insurers and forecasters said over the weekend.
"The National Weather Service said conditions would “continue to improve Sunday” as it warned of possible “long-duration power outages”.
"Helene slammed into Florida on Thursday as a Category 4 hurricane and surged north, gradually weakening but leaving a trail of destruction: uprooted trees, downed power lines and homes damaged by mudslides.
"The Federal Emergency Management Administration (#FEMA) said on Saturday it granted emergency declarations in six states – #Alabama, #Florida, #Georgia, #SouthCarolina, #NorthCarolina and #Tennessee – 'to assist these states with preparation and response efforts in the immediate aftermath of the storm'."

MAGA social media accounts keep demanding to know "how did FEMA help North Carolina". Actually, they helped in a lot of ways (when MAGA North Carolinians weren't shooting at them).

MAGA screamed hysterically every single day that FEMA wasn't helping Hurricane Helene victims. The Trump administration defiantly and publicly turns off the tap and nothing.
