The media is mostly ignoring this story... Apparently George Bush’s response to Katrina was pure evil, while Kamala’s response to Helene has been heartwarming... Even though the death toll keeps rising.
The greatest power of the media is the power to ignore.
They don’t want to show the incompetence and the stupidity of Biden and Harris. This would blast them out of the race for a generation.............
If they can’t spin it, they spike it.
Some useful info available at the local level...

The amount of damage to infrastructure, in addition to everything else, is incredible...
Kamala is utterly stupid, but I have never seen such blatant incompetence in responding to catastrophes as this administration. They could at least pretend, but they don’t even do THAT.
Let someone else do the job. I know for a fact there are people with children trying to leave Asheville.
Seems to me that this would be a good opportunity for sending in a BUNCH OF DRONES. A DRONE could fly in to places which are still INACCESSIBLE to vehicles or on foot or even Helicopters. The video from a drone could help determine if someone is in a location and needs rescue. So we lose a few drones. Whatever they cost, it’s much less than anything else, and much safer.
Military drones would be great for that!
They have the range and can transmit video and location in real time and can loiter for hours!.................
The MSM is pretending for them............
“I know for a fact there are people with children trying to leave Asheville.”
The saddest thing was on Twitter.
A first responder said in one valley there were naked kids wandering around asking if anyone had seen their parents.
(My guess is all their clothes were soaked and it’s rather cool in the mountains. Their parents are probably gone.)
Horrific.
Maybe they sent the majority of our drones to Ukraine like they did our transformers :-(
This is purposeful neglect. TRAITORS!!

We do not have this equipment readily available because we have shipped large quantities of transformers and other electrical equipment to Ukraine. Both our military and non-military support for Ukraine has left us less prepared for domestic disasters like Hurricane Helene:

Kamala is not stupid. Don’t be fooled by her act. She has never really been required to use her mind to accomplish anything. Everything has been ‘given’ to her, all her life. Therefore, she doesn’t bother to apply herself to tasks like STUDYING, RESEARCHING, LEARNING. She just pushes the hard work off on everyone else. She generates ‘word salad’ in response to questions because she is uninvolved in the activities mentally. She maintains only the merest grasp of the important situations because she just doesn’t care. Those things are ‘below her’. For example: being the border-czar. She couldn’t be bothered to actually go there and see what was happening. That’s hard work and she has ‘people’ who do that stuff for her. People that she treats like they were slaves.
They are all reserved for the Ukraine - probably.
I can’t imagine that level of anguish.
The Biden/Harris administration has been a disaster of biblical proportions!....................
You put a lot of effort into saying how stupid she is after saying she is not.
1 cubic yard, 3’x3’x3’ weighs 764.55 kg (1,684 pounds).
Now, multiply that by a million or two or three or ten. Then add that to the kinetic force of it moving at 40+ miles per hour down the valleys.
Nothing can withstand that kind of force. Even mighty mountains will eventually crumble in it’s wake.
A truly humbling epiphany. I witnessed the destruction of Hurricane Michael in 2018, the last Cat 5 to make landfall, at Mexico Beach, Tyndall AFB and Panama City Florida.
In some places, nothing was left but a concrete slab where houses and business were....................
