Well Senora…we do care about FEMA because all of the money eh that is supposed to help “Americans” during a natural disaster has been stolen to help fund all the “Illegal Immigrants” …..That’s why we should care
That's devastating. People are forced to carry ice miles to their homes while some FEMA woman calmly sits in her air conditioned car and talks down to them in a condescending tone.
It’s going to be one big land grab just like they did in Lahaina. People didn’t pay attention to that story but now they really should look into it and see what happened there in Maui. They will be offered money for their land pennies on the dollar but they will not be able to go back and rebuild.
That is the Sunset Beach neighborhood which is the southernmost 1/4 if the Island. They got hit the hardest. The north of Sunset is open and you can drive to your home.
I was born in Florida and my parents after the 3rd hurricane moved to Alabama just in time for hurricane Camille to hit, I lived in Mobile and the hurricane washed away my father's job, our church and my school. Our house survived but we had no electricity for 3 months, no running water for two months. My mother cooked in our back yard on a camp stove. My parents knowing we still lived in a hurricane zone had stocked up on canned food and canned juice as well as batteries before hand. People need to take some responsibility and be prepared and not expect the government to do everything for you
Especially since the people who live in these communities tend to be conservative "starve the government" types. Until they need something, then it's 100% the government's responsibility and fault.
Well I'm glad you aren't there in the middle of this. But then again, maybe you could have preached to all of these impatient people just how it should be. Please read my sarcasm for what it is....
Dont forget that services and first responders are spread thin. There are still wild fires in California that have been burning for a month now. Tens of thousands evacuated. Thousands of structures burned to ash. Next comes a wet winter and those scared mountains will become mud flows. We ALL need to realize that we have two major disasters going on. Lets help each other in any way we can.
CA's fire woes are largely thanks to an unwillingness to practice proper tree management. Why, you ask? Because they continue to elect liberal idiots that allow it. If there's prioritization needed, then NC and eastern TN and GA should be on top of the list.
Embarrassing. I just donated to the people of NC. I am sorry that fellow Americans are going thru this, when our money goes abroad. Shame on politicians.
The amount of work to restore basic services, remove debris & remove sand is staggering. Allowing vechile traffic to enter would basically stop everything else from getting done.

Sunset Beach is actually 3 islands made into 1 with fillers. There is a lot of old real estate dating back to the 1920s. The area is quite a charm but will need to be brought up to current codes which means demolition. I lived on SB and loved it, all of the barrier islands through the years. The whole Pinellas Coast will recover quickly because of tourism and a determination of the citizens to get t up and running. Hang in there, it will get better...
What's the problem? They don't have insurance and expect the government to pay for their bad decisions? Stop yapping and use your misplaced anger to get the work done. Except Ken. He will need an ambulance after working 10 minutes.
As horrible as this storm was and the destruction that was left for these people to endure, these people need to remember in history the "the trail of tears" where thousands of people walked thousands of miles without any help.

So uncle closes the road they complain and you say save you? At 1:56 look at the empty road . Then listen to the reporter saving we can’t let cars block the roadway. Reminds me of mostly peaceful protests with the building burning behind him from the Floyd shit show.
This was an unprecedented event. No one could have prepared for it. All those judging negativity, are just like kick'n them while they are down. SMH...
😂😂 prepare they can see the hurricane coming days away. A category 5 hurricane hitting is going bring a kick to it. Mexico had a hurricane turn category 4 when it made land fall first one recorded in history. But climate change isn't really. Drill baby drill.
During disasters, expect longer waits for services. I'm not sure what people expect. If they opened that road it would clog, making it harder and slower to return services. And btw, you have been getting warnings for decades.
Avoid the Midwest entirely then, most Americans have no clue that the largest ground fault line on earth is in the U.S. (Madrid fault line). Runs straight through Mark Twain National Forest too.

There is another hurricane coming. And this is going to get worst every year. People need to be prohibited from living in these areas or or adopt very stringent building, wind and water management so they can survive this intense weather without having to rebuild constantly. Everyone needs to have emergency supplies for 3-7 days because it takes awhile for the government to assess and mobilize responses; especially when it is catastrophic like this. A better idea is to form neighborhood groups trained by FEMA or Red Cross to help until government can respond or help with evacuations.
You wonder why they refuse to give money to FEMA because guess what they gave $1 billion to illegal immigrants so why will we give our tax money to them? They turn around and give it to illegals over us Americans. So what you’re mad, they couldn’t give more money to illegal immigrants.
Some people make the decision to throw logic away and irrationally lash out at those who are trying to help. Nonetheless, grant them grace and hope they make better decisions in the future.
Where is the active duty military like during Katrina? Where is FEMA? There should be thousands of troops, helicopters, and heavy equipment, just like during Katrina.
@@2stoves1 whatever, if this current admin along with FEMA had any clue about what they were doing this would be a mute conversation. Carry-on comrade.

Sorry for all affected. They should go stay in a clean hotel until they get all clear. OH WAIT, NO FEMA CARDS for AMERICANS, ONLY the Illegals get that !!!😅
For a region of the country, that is incomplete denial of climate change, which we are all responsible for, these people are unfortunately the first ones to suffer in this way.
What do these storm victims think that FEMA can just come and fix this disaster in a week. They cannot get to everyone who needs help, and some counties are blocked with debris, that need to be cleared. Maybe they should ask their elected officials in their own state, what they are doing to help.
I can't even imagine the frustration everyone is having right now. I'm so sorry! I also can't imagine if they let cars in and out. You would have a cluster of a mess . Nor to mention, if emergency vehicles had to get in there in a hurry (someone is having a heart attack) (for example) but it's all backed up with cars.
How is the Federal and State Agencies overstretched? Could it be the temporary Emergency housing for migrant families? Refugee Cash Assistance, Refugee Medical Assistance. This Administration is a Joke only nobody’s laughing.
Do these people understand the scope of the damage from the hurricane? I think if I lived along the Florida coast I’d have a safe place for food, water, flashlights etc. FEMA and the National Guard, local fire and police, and thousands of volunteers are doing their very best.
For all of you right-wingers with zero understanding or experience with the logistics of a difficult situation like this who are whining, criticizing, and complaining, I have only one question. What have YOU done to roll up your sleeves and go help these people? I'll answer that for you. Absolutely nothing. Sit down.
I 100% agree with you. We can't possibly do any worse than what they've done to us in the last handful of decades. This is a disgrace and an embarrassment.
Don’t worry! I was just informed by a person up here in Michigan that people down in the S/E are being treated equally and fairly. He should know, because he just “knows it”. When I ask him if he wanted me to get ahold of my wife down in Asheville and ask her how it’s going, he shut up got on his golf cart a ride away.
Why isn't government helicopters flying supplies in like they do for third world countries overseas
They at the border!
Because this is an inept administration that only care about causing chaos to turn this country into a socialist society.
They are all at the border flying people in

Ok well cry all they want, Stop relying on UNCLE to come save you. You are not the only peeps with problems. There are other areas far worse off!
So uncle closes the road they complain and you say save you? At 1:56 look at the empty road . Then listen to the reporter saving we can’t let cars block the roadway. Reminds me of mostly peaceful protests with the building burning behind him from the Floyd shit show.

ENTITLED❗ You don't hear people in rural or urban areas acting like that & they also got damage
@MBAStudent-u9v Absolutely NOT 🥴
This was an unprecedented event. No one could have prepared for it. All those judging negativity, are just like kick'n them while they are down.
SMH...
😂😂 prepare they can see the hurricane coming days away. A category 5 hurricane hitting is going bring a kick to it. Mexico had a hurricane turn category 4 when it made land fall first one recorded in history. But climate change isn't really. Drill baby drill.
@@felipenunez2058What's with the laughing emojis? Do you think this is all a joke?
They should not be upset at FEMA it is local and State law enforcement they need to talk to.
So much for the greatest country in the worls
I thought these were all the affluent pull yourself by the bootstraps, anti socialism crowd.
You’re in a cult.
@@AmericansRejectLiberalism hardly.... I don't fly huge flags anywhere or blindly follow a guy who shows disdain for everyone.
@@juanbernier3570 so you’re part of the *other* cult, got it.
I’m moving to a safe place like Asheville, NC, in the mountains, where there are no hurricanes.?
I had the same idea. Scraped that plan quickly
What’s really stupid is that most of these people who lost everything will rebuild on the same spot, not heading the lesson they just witnessed.
If the WEF allows them. Could just turn into Maui and be an "uninhabitable zone"
HEEDING
I thought those people didn't want government assistance.
Facts.
During disasters, expect longer waits for services. I'm not sure what people expect. If they opened that road it would clog, making it harder and slower to return services. And btw, you have been getting warnings for decades.
I choose not to live in a

In a FLOOD ZONE!
Avoid the Midwest entirely then, most Americans have no clue that the largest ground fault line on earth is in the U.S. (Madrid fault line). Runs straight through Mark Twain National Forest too.
@@GentileMysteriesConspiracies I knew that, thanks. It would not effort the whole midwest.
@GentileMysteriesConspiracies you live in Florida🤣.
How's your house insurance?
Flooding?
Hurricanes?
How was your Hurricane last Thursday? Scary at night? When you can't see anything 😂

Go back to watching your female wrestling channel on you tube, really that is just sad. You sound like white trash.
I had no help after Maria and no current for five months. I didn’t blame anyone.
Who was president then?

Remember people there is billions to go overseas!!!!!!
It JUST happened! Treasure ISLAND ARE NOT POOR OR MIDDLE CLASS. The contractors are there to help everyone, not just the privileged . Everything will come, time takes time. Simmer down & be glad you’re alive. Please,? 🙏🏽
Please don’t use divisive woke words like privileged or equity in an emergency like this.
I wonder what their level of care, concern and frustration was for the people that went through KATRINA?.... 😏
Same as it is now
There is another hurricane coming. And this is going to get worst every year. People need to be prohibited from living in these areas or or adopt very stringent building, wind and water management so they can survive this intense weather without having to rebuild constantly. Everyone needs to have emergency supplies for 3-7 days because it takes awhile for the government to assess and mobilize responses; especially when it is catastrophic like this. A better idea is to form neighborhood groups trained by FEMA or Red Cross to help until government can respond or help with evacuations.
😂😂 floridians mad at fema when scott and rubio voted down for any fema relief.
You wonder why they refuse to give money to FEMA because guess what they gave $1 billion to illegal immigrants so why will we give our tax money to them? They turn around and give it to illegals over us Americans. So what you’re mad, they couldn’t give more money to illegal immigrants.
Don't give them facts they don't like facts 😂😂😂😂
Congress needs to do something about FEMA. Need to do a hearing and listen to the people from North Carolina.
Reptilianpublicans hate America
The process remains the same... 750 emergency funds and then you APPLY on the FEMA website for aid.
Worst congress in history!
All help and supplies must go through them, so they can take their cut.
Some people make the decision to throw logic away and irrationally lash out at those who are trying to help. Nonetheless, grant them grace and hope they make better decisions in the future.
Where is the active duty military like during Katrina? Where is FEMA? There should be thousands of troops, helicopters, and heavy equipment, just like during Katrina.
The response to katrina was super slow because Bush was out all week long cocaine party
Wow, 4 golf carts! Nice job FEMA
Busy spending their money on the illegal migrants, while running out of money for the citizens.…
Nice, another anti-American comment. Very helpful.
@@2stoves1 whatever, if this current admin along with FEMA had any clue about what they were doing this would be a mute conversation. Carry-on comrade.
@@2stoves1Here's you > 🤡🦧🦤
You have your States Natl Guard due help. FEMA will take at least a week to setup, except to airdrop supplies or something. Where's the State?
Where are The Libertarians? Shouldn't storm assistance be supplied by an unfettered Free Market? Communities who can pay for assistance, should get the assistance. Come on Sen. Graham - Pony up!
Build on the beach. Hurricane hits. You survive. Demand that somebody else rescue you and rebuild your house of cards. Rinse and repeat.
Help them don't humiliate them
Still Americans
Strange, I didn’t hear anyone asking for a handout. They want access to their properties, and services restored. WTF is wrong with you?
@@MargaretBajanen-ys9ef I'm helping those who are unable to help themselves.
@@Yt-user65000 They will be repairing and rebuilding those properties and insurance rates go up for those who did not build their house of cards on the beach.
Sorry for all affected. They should go stay in a clean hotel until they get all clear. OH WAIT, NO FEMA CARDS for AMERICANS, ONLY the Illegals get that !!!😅
Go to hell liar
For a region of the country, that is incomplete denial of climate change, which we are all responsible for, these people are unfortunately the first ones to suffer in this way.
Why can’t their wonderful governor help them!
Up in NC campaigning for the next election.
SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE!
These people think they’re the only people in trouble. 🙄
Of all the places in the world ive lived. 109 .90 th ave...1969 was the coolest place ive ever lived. Sad to see it's gone.dam.
We NEED to TAKE money from the elite powerbrokers that caused this.
What do these storm victims think that FEMA can just come and fix this disaster in a week. They cannot get to everyone who needs help, and some counties are blocked with debris, that need to be cleared. Maybe they should ask their elected officials in their own state, what they are doing to help.
I truly enjoy all the comments from people who really love the US Gov't. Greatest country in the World huh!??!!
I can't even imagine the frustration everyone is having right now. I'm so sorry!
I also can't imagine if they let cars in and out. You would have a cluster of a mess .
Nor to mention, if emergency vehicles had to get in there in a hurry (someone is having a heart attack) (for example)
but it's all backed up with cars.
People should not be living there period. These residents should blame themselves and not overstretched federal and state agencies.
How is the Federal and State Agencies overstretched? Could it be the temporary Emergency housing for migrant families? Refugee Cash Assistance, Refugee Medical Assistance. This Administration is a Joke only nobody’s laughing.
@@honda4scf refugees do not move to hurricane prone areas
Libertarians need to experience the full measure of their foolish decisions.
Lack of compassion.
Remember this B-S come NOV 4.
Then get a bus to shuttle. Idiots.
Do these people understand the scope of the damage from the hurricane? I think if I lived along the Florida coast I’d have a safe place for food, water, flashlights etc. FEMA and the National Guard, local fire and police, and thousands of volunteers are doing their very best.
Mayorkas must resign
Why, because there was a hurricane? Grow up.

Well done ABC, reporting TRUTH not lies! Well done.🙏🏽
For all of you right-wingers with zero understanding or experience with the logistics of a difficult situation like this who are whining, criticizing, and complaining, I have only one question. What have YOU done to roll up your sleeves and go help these people? I'll answer that for you. Absolutely nothing. Sit down.
Dissolve the useless government. We the people can manage our money much better!
I 100% agree with you. We can't possibly do any worse than what they've done to us in the last handful of decades. This is a disgrace and an embarrassment.
I suffered through hurricane Sandy in NY. I felt forgotten, I felt hopeless.
Don’t worry! I was just informed by a person up here in Michigan that people down in the S/E are being treated equally and fairly. He should know, because he just “knows it”. When I ask him if he wanted me to get ahold of my wife down in Asheville and ask her how it’s going, he shut up got on his golf cart a ride away.
F the federal government.
The US can send the National Guard into Haiti 48 hours after a natural disaster but it takes them a week to get to North Carolina?
