This is damning.  Why would the administration actively impede private relief efforts?

This is disaster business at work.  The big contractors are bidding on the zones, once that's sorted they start hiring the parachuting yahoos that showed up. If you think this was any different during any of the disasters under Trump, well I'm very sorry to disappoint your lil fairy tale. MyPatriotSupply doesn't sound like a charity does it?

 

ps.  Bidding must be especially fierce, this is a 5 yr project at least and the funds will flow. Young aggressive companies going public that they are ready looking for contracts wouldn't be shocking.

The stranded, starving people are all happy.

Nature came in to retake what is rightfully hers. It is sad so many of the communities in the region are in the valleys, right next to the waterways. There is nothing they could do to withstand a storm of this intensity. Heartbreaking to see so much loss and devastation.  

Trump uses disasters to make them political. As if he can do a better job. Dementia Donnie is delusional. 

 

DeSantis again skips meeting with Biden after hurricane hits state

MIAMI — President Joe Biden touched down on Thursday in Florida’s state capital, less than a week after Tallahassee narrowly avoided a direct hit from Hurricane Helene that ravaged nearby coastal counties.

And Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was 300 miles away.

As Biden was deboarding Air Force One in Tallahassee, DeSantis was holding a press conference at hurricane-devastated Anna Maria Island near Bradenton, which is on Florida’s Gulf Coast just outside Tampa.

 

Since recovery efforts began, DeSantis has sought to separate Florida’s response from the federal government, saying the state was able to move much faster. 

Let DeSantis handle it and pay for it all. I'm sure that's what Florida's citizens want.

What's the matter - you didn't have enough coverage?  It's a problem here when renewing policies, the renewals usually provide coverage for earlier property values and to increase coverage, the premiums spike significantly.

Not us. We were helping family recover. They used to have comprehensive coverage through homeowners which included flooding from storm surge and covered personal property loss. Then FL mandated the split off "flood" and wind coverage to protect Citizens from future claims against their primary risk pool which was becoming insolvent. Now you have separate policies for homeowners, wind, and flood.

FL said this was going to protect homeowners from rising premiums but they've skyrocketed more now than they ever have. Now you've got these specialty casualty plans dedicated for storm surge flooding and wind damage (because regular flooding is covered under homeowners policies... make that make sense). And these policies might as well be miner's insurance because they're designed to predate policy holders and never pay out. In the end, the family we were helping thought they were covered by their new flood policy but Citizens told them that personal property loss due to flooding was covered by their homeowners policy. Sure enough they go to make the claim and are denied because personal property coverage has to be covered separately by storm surge flood policies when they said they were told otherwise (so they say).

Musk is a great dude.

Need to file a lawsuit unfortunately

The focus remains on western NC (and it should, it's horrific) but a large part of upstate SC (from Greer through Anderson, including Greenville) is still without power too. The damage from flooding might not be as bad there but a week without power is a major struggle.

Zero. Really? He inserted himself into it and made it Political casting blame on Biden. I'd hardly call that zero.

Insurance policies in hurricane alley have deductibles tied to the home’s value too.  For an example, a deductible of 2.5% on a $700,000 house would be $17,500.  Which is insane.

Yeah, it's bad. I've always felt weird about owning a house on the water in FL that was my primary residence simply because I don't know that I could afford a run of bad weather luck. There are a lot of working class people who bought those waterfront properties, chose to become house poor because they wanted the dream of living on the water, and had no earthly idea this could happen to them because in the past 20 years there's been a grand total of 0 storms that have flooded houses en masse in the Tampa area.

Now their lives are ruined because they can't afford the out of pocket expense of recovering/rebuilding. It's wild.

This is Thai Cave Rescue 2.0. Musk WILL NOT be humiliated again. 

I guarantee you that if Musk doesn't get a parade down 5th Avenue for his Starlink contribution we're going to get "FEMA runs a pedo ring" tweets within two weeks.

False claims about FEMA disaster funds and migrants pushed by Trump

There is no evidence that disaster relief funds were used on immigrants in the U.S. illegally. FEMA disaster money comes from dedicated funds that cannot be used for other purposes.
