Just follow the money, and that will tell you a lot about our federal government’s priorities. It has been about two months since Hurricane Helene absolutely devastated vast stretches of North Carolina, Tennessee, and other states, and many victims have still not gotten any help from the government at all. Meanwhile, our government seems to have plenty of money for the war in Ukraine.
According to North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, the total damage caused by Hurricane Helene in his state exceeds 50 billion dollars…
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper announced Wednesday that the damage estimates from Hurricane Helene are the largest in state history.
According to Cooper, the initial damage estimates are at $53 billion – about three times the estimates from Hurricane Florence, which hit North Carolina in 2018.
Other states were hit extremely hard as well.
This really was one of the most destructive natural disasters in U.S. history, and the federal response has been abysmal.
According to one woman who has been working as a volunteer in the disaster zone, dead bodies are still being recovered after all this time…
It has been almost two months since Hurricane Helene brought devastating flood waters to North Carolina, and a local woman has returned back home in search of additional supplies.
Kat Arnsdorff, founder of Together We Rise Inc., said that she witnessed the aftermath first-hand.
“We’ve found bones that have been sent off to be identified,” Arnsdorff said. “We’re waiting on that to come back. I know that there have been teams in multiple areas that are still finding cadavers.”
