  1. there is well over 500 people floating whats with the low death count. they cant get out, roads blocked and another devastating best in 48 hours, where are they to go. who will help them get out.

  2. CNN You are propaganda news. Payments of $300 are for homeowners and renters whose home was damaged but can be lived in safely. Most don't qualify for the $750 meant to help survivors pay for critical need expenses, such as food, water, baby formula and other emergency supplies. Not enough.  Survivors have no vehicle. Just the clothes on their back. Survivors are speaking out. How long is $300 or $750 going to last? Nobody can work. No home. Hotel costs? Other programs aren't going to help now. No roads to get back. Homes taken down rivers. FEMA provides temporary trailers but that takes months. The lies from the Government and Media are protecting Biden- Harris covering for FEMA.
    People are dying! Some are already dead and hundreds missing.

  3. 🌟LIZZIE, MY PRAYERS 🙏🏻TO ALL🌟

    LIZZIE!

    🌟HAVE FAITH INSTEAD OF FEARS 🌟EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. WILL TAKE TIME, BUT REALIZED A DIFERENT OF OTHERS PEOPLE'S YOU GUY'S ARE ALIVE AND YOURS CAT TO🌟

  4. This is just unacceptable that these people are not getting the help they need! The harris/biden administration should just be walked out of the White House and told NEVER to come back! They are the worst people on earth! Look at these poor people! Now think about EVERY illegal immigrant that are enjoying all the comforts OUR country has to offer because biden/ harris wants their vote! They don’t give one shit about these immigrants only their votes! If they did then they would have them as their neighbors but they don’t! I hope this administration never gets a good night sleep again! They are horrible worthless disgusting people!

  5. So sad…! My question is, didn’t the news report that it was heading their way with enough time to evacuate?! Idk, I’m in Southern California, so we don’t have hurricanes. I’d be freaked out, board everything up, and leave until it passed!

  6. Big stores could donate water and food before the hurricane arrives, because you can lose anyway as a result of the storm. Otherwise, a terrible waste. Can save many lives.

  7. Categorically, the western part of my state of NC has been severely damaged and wholly destroyed by Helene. We need help badly. FEMA is only giving $750 to people in need of urgent help and assistance! That said, more than 200 are now confirmed dead, and that number continues to increase each day. It's a million times worse than what you're seeing on CNN and other news outlets! Hundreds are missing, thousands are now homeless and displaced, and entire towns and larger cities have been completely destroyed (and their economies, i.e., travel and tourism) and will never be rebuilt. We need help NOW! The government and Joe Biden have failed us and continue to do so. Please help us NOW!!!

  8. 🙄Where is the American government when it did not rescue the population and support those affected? Why did you not rush to support the population, as you support Israel, to carry out the massacres in Gaza?

  9. Such a sad and tragic event this couple had to go through and see!! I hopre more people are found and saved. I feel really sad for them. PTSD can be helped by a psychiatrist. Our son is a Psychiatrist who has treated people with PTSD so that they can move on with their lives better. God bless this couple and others involved in the tragic Hurricane.

  10. here in Philippines we encounter yearly strong typhoon and i feel sorry what happened in America.. but compare in Philippines I don't know why during interviews after storm we always smile.. and even there's not enough drinking water we get some running water and boil it and you will see kids and adults seems having fun swimming in the flood 😅 Also in philippines you will see adult hanging out passing some alcohols and softdrinks to each other during storms and though really stressed about starting over again after calamity.. Philippines just in chill and accept move on face I don't know why.. 😅😅 But i hope in NC they'll get rescues and food and right supply of power more prays and stay strong America !!! God bless Ù

  11. Some on the ground are saying 1000 body bags were already used. I think the death toll will be much greater once authorities are able to get to allremotee remote spots in western NC.

  12. Not knowing what their going to do the rest of their lives is bad enough. But these people don't know from day to day and that is terrifying. Good luck to them all.

  13. You WILL rebuild!!
    20 years ago, 230,000 people perished in the Asian Tsunami. Youtube wasn't deleting gory footages at that time. You can never unsee it.
    Nothing tops it..neither the 911, nor the Japan Tsunami. Today..there's not a trace that it even happened. They rebuilt.

  14. My heart goes out to all sigh… I cant imagine how they feel. As someone who experiences this in the Caribbean i pray they can rebuild their homes and maybe save some memories ❤
