There are a lot of questions about the federal governmentβs response to Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. The Department of Defense and FEMA are both on the ground in the hard impacted counties like Buncombe.
Rescue teams are plucking Florida residents from the flotsam of Hurricane Milton after the storm smashed through coastal communities. The storm tore homes into pieces, filled streets with mud and spawned a barrage of deadly tornadoes. At least eight people are dead.
Hurricane Milton remains a ferocious storm that could land a once-in-a-century direct hit on Tampa and St. Petersburg, engulfing the populous region with towering storm surges and turning debris from Heleneβs devastation 12 days ago into projectiles.
A week after Hurricane Helene devastate Western North Carolina, communities with volunteers like the United Cajun Navy are finding hope, but more aide is desperately needed.
