I want everyone to know that Hurricane Helene caused historic devastation to the Southeast of the United States, especially to the state of North

I especially liked where Biden got on TV and said the federal government had given North Carolina all the aid they were going to get. Sadly you are correct. Biden and the Democrats do not like supporting red states. When hurricane Ian hit us in Florida Englewood recorded 209 mph sustained winds, but the federal government would only classify it as a category 4 hurricane. Every level of hurricane comes with a different level of aid. We were cheated! I paid $4000 to FEMA for flood insurance. When I filed a claim I was told to apply to the SBA for a loan, it was one of our rental properties that had the damage. Thankfully Trump started a go fund me page and is raising millions of dollars to aid North Carolina. I hope you and your family are safe with no damage.

@Cloud7593 Some people simply aren't smart enough to save their own lives. In today's world we know when major hurricanes are coming and the damage they cause. But everytime it seems that people sit on their butts and think that they won't get wet. Of course some people simply don't have the means to leave the danger zone but countless other do. And it costs a lot of money to get large trees cut down so that they won't fall on your house. Everyone in the area should know by now if they will get flooded out if the hurricane passes through.

So, it would be sensible if people took steps to leave the danger zone before the hurricane hits. Therefore, in the future if a person could have left the area but didn't and ends up dead, that is because of his own stupidity regardess of political party or religion.

Large areas of the South will soon be dead zones because of the weather and because the insurance companies will no longer insure regular house property unless the annual premiums are $20,000 or greater.

I'm sure this is what you think, but you're misinformed, probably by the "conservative" media you're watching.

It has nothing but Helene coverage, 24/7 and appeals for donations and funds to those who need them, and it's all over the media.

Seriously, wake up and blindly believing everything Trump tells you. You deserve better than this.

I know from tiktok, ppl posting almost live. It's scary

This is not true and I live also in a “red” state in your region.

I don’t know of any state, red or blue, that hasn’t had bad fortune at some point in time. NaturAl disasters don’t pick and choose in regards to politics. Anybody who believes that has been hitting the crack pipe.

That’s a crock of BS and fake news. The media has been covering all of it.

You’ve been reading and watching too much right-wing media.

All coastal areas around the world are facing these calamities.

You must have lost all access to the media. There has been incredibly coverage of the situation. The reporters on the scene state their difficulty in getting there stories out with no inte jet and cell service.i find it upsetting to see you trying to make this political!

the general lack of interest is amazing. College football goes on uninterrupted.

Biblical? How come prayer didn't make the hurricane go away?

I look at Google News every day, and your statement is categorically false, the media is not downplaying Helene's impacts one bit, not even a fraction of a bit, it has been referred as "biblically catastrophic" just as you have referred to it, at the top of the page for several days now

And based on your profile pic of the Ravenel Bridge we probably live in the same city, and I am fully aware that even in this drop of blue in a sea of red (Charleston) just how batsh*t MAGA the Lowcountry still is, I've been behind trucks with Infowars bumper stickers no less (but we certainly didn't lose power here in Charleston, so perhaps you live further inland)

Maybe it's your rightwing media that's downplaying stuff (it's certainly the rightwing peddling false, AI-generated images of Trump wearing a vest and wading in water to help flooding victims ... MAGA Is an insane cult if y'all fall for that junk)

It's also Trump and Project 2025 that wish to end NOAA, the agency that put out a rare press release about the impending impacts of this storm in Appalachai before it ever made landfall, prompting southeast governors including McMaster to declare emergencies ahead of time.

Even CNN had an interesting article today covering the flooding history of Asheville, how for example two back to back hurricanes caused significant flooding in Asheville in 1916, just not flooding at the scale of this storm that has been supercharged by human-caused climate change, which the rightwing consistently calls a hoax and a non-problem, no matter how many stronger hurricanes keep battering the red southeastern US. The liberal media has also pointed out how Helene was 20 times more likely to drop "biblical" amounts of rain on western NC than if it had not been enhanced by climate change.

Whoever is telling you the liberal media is downplaying anything is lying to you, and frankly I don't believe you if you say it is Democrats telling you this.


You realize the entire southeast is basically red states, right???

When Trump gets in, we need to start playing them at their own game, so when Hurricanes hit blue States
