Since there is no garbage service, it doesn't make sense to pile it up at the curb. Leave it in the house and let it dry out, and maybe you can clean it and still use it. Making those piles on the curb that get covered in sand from the plows traps them in even more.
This reporter isn’t giving any hope to these unfortunate survivors..
When the Lord closes the door, no man can open it. ..have mercy Lord Jesus 😢
600 hundred missing is heartbreaking because they didn’t have a chance in the flash flood water😮😢😢😢
Biden doesn’t care about America 🇺🇸 people 😢😢😢😢
Feet of sand from road clearing. Hello.
As a non-American non-US resident, I'm shocked Biden/Harris hasn't taken more actions🤯
So sad man, does it even make sense to buy a house? This could literally happen anywhere…
Joe blow aka Biden the fool luv tragedy. Weak leader the corporation going to fall .
That ninja said, “I ain’t going…”
I bet they’re voting for the man throwing paper towels
Having survived a flood and losing everything, and all the process of the aftermath, getting assistance going, no FEMA help… only Red Cross, waiting in long lines for basic needs, no sleep, trauma and shock, loss, it's overwhelming in the moment. Four days waiting for help feels like 6 months. Emotions are high, things seem insurmountable, and just needing/wanting some toothpaste can trigger a meltdown. Not having water, electricity, transportation, cell or internet service to reach anyone….four days feels like forever. No one is wrong in this, everyone is dealing with a massively chaotic at traumatic situation, and doing the best they can. Other than grifters, there are many people with good intentions and efforts. Why are humans so quick to be upset with each other??? Just be compassionate and caring and helpful and kind, or nothing at all. May everyone affected be helped through the days now and to come for awhile. 🙏💓
If the USA reduced its annual military budget by one percent it could devote an extra eight billion dollars per year to rescue, recovery and rebuilding operations after events like these.
North Carolina Governor must step down immediately! Huge failure!
I saw miles of trucks driving down with NY plates. The North is sending help down.
Don’t they know we don’t provide tax money to our own citizens. What do they think governments are for?
People were warned it was coming, people were told to be prepared. There’s only so much rescuers can do.
Why Biden continue focus on Israel while American were suffered now?
Biden can barely travel to the kitchen
What a shame Biden cares more about annihilating the people of Palestine than caring for his own country and people!! Maybe in the south they are getting an inkling of what Palestinians a
have been living for a year with bombs dropping as well everyday!!!
Where is Harris😂😂😂
Where are the bidens and harris. Check the beach
Is trump really saying if he was president this would never have happened? So now trump can prevent natural disasters? He has lost it.
What an imbecile response from the DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.
Where's the national guard or army reserve goverment abandoned the people completely
$18 billion dollars in assistance shutdown by Republicans!!! They believe weather is fake and climate change is a hoax and therefore people in these states don't need the assistance.. REPUBLICANS VOTED NO TO HELP YOU!!!!
The Feds are helping Ukraine and the illegals….AINT nobody got time for regular Americans……😮
Folks in the South – Get rid of FEMA / Federal Government. As soon as a storm hits – Why isn't the Federal Government here to help us. Remember when your Senator and voted to cut FEMA's budget.
George the reporter needs to stop with the crap about no help. Notice he's nice and dry, and clean yet not helping. Its self serving jerk like this that do not help just think before you open your mouth. Other than helicopter there is no was when the roads are gone.
Biden/Harris/Walz smh
3:39 For a region that mostly votes against big government, I think you folks might want to rethink that… or stop wondering where help is.
Can someone call the nursing home and let Babbling Biden know that U.S. citizens need help in these devastated areas….
Did they expect a magical person to just snap their fingers and things return to normal? Wide spread catastrophe takes time to relieve. There is no overnight solution.
Reporters just trying to get views. Of course relief is slow- there are no roads! How are cities supposed to restore water and other services when things are still under water, mud, and debris? Bad reporting. People are suffering, but state, local, and federal governments are working hard to get relief in. Imagine being a first responder in these conditions.
I guess there's just not enough socialism for the Putin loving, Russian idolizing Red state Republicans when they want it.
Have you noticed the national media swoops in and cries for federal help. It takes time to stage help for an area without roads in. Stop blaming the feds for their response, they are doing the best they can. Why isn’t the networks flying in supplies?
Red States crying for more of that government aid socialism.
Wow this is so sad . Praying for everyone.
Some people decided not to evacuate and did they think it was going to be a one day inconvenience?
I would like to thank Ron DeSantis for outlawing climate change that really helped
Asheville is a lefty scum enclave in west NC. The mayor is female and everyone on the city council is a female. This is why Asheville got caught with its pants down.
If y'all vote for the Trumpster (which the majority on the affected states do), then he will implement "Project 2025", and do away with NOAA and FEMA. But then most Trumpsters vote against their interests anyway…
If he wins, don't whine then.
Your government hates you
Guys, it’s gonna be OK. Joe Biden is planning a visit
Having gone through many disasters, I empathize with these comments. What I have observed is that disasters can be an economic boon for some. Case in point: BP oil spill. Boy was that a cash cow or what.
Picture yourself in a small town in a disaster. Power is out, roads are out, phones don't work and maybe you forgot to buy fresh batteries for the radio.
You have no clue that the problem might be affecting half your state, so you will naturally believe that the government is just ignoring your town. You will probably have some complaints about this.
your editor needs to be fired. I did not open a link to a video about the destruction of the hurricane to hear about intermittent sobreiety.
