More on the Horror in North Carolina [Update #3]

By -
Above is the report from WBTV. The latest excuses from FEMA for their gross underperformance are in the above report. FEMA's solution? To stop making promises as to when trailers will be delivered!!

Updated at 1:20pm:  
Above is an image of the FEMA compound that is being torn down as FEMA leaves western North Carolina. The trailers have electricity, water, sewage, etc. The story is here. 

FEMA is tearing down a perfectly good trailer village it built for its employees post-Helene while people in the disaster zone are living in tents and hotels. Why? FEMA is bugging out after doing very, very little for the people of southern Appalachia. 

Cruel and despicable are the two words that best describe the way the federal and state governments are treating western North Carolina. 

But, why aren't we hearing more about it? Part is the liberal bent of the MSM and we still have a Democrat in the White House and in North Carolina's executive mansion. Second, local and state officials are often "bought off" by FEMA and related agencies. From an independent emergency management professional:
And, yes, I have personally encountered situations where Amy's comment is the case. While I don't know the mayor of Black Mountain NC, Amy's observation may be applicable when absurd comments like this are made. 
Mr Mayor: FEMA didn't have any trouble coming up with more than 1,000 trailers and the appropriate utilities practically overnight when it wanted to house its own people. Now, after just 27 trailers have been delivered by FEMA to the storm's victims, the agency tearing down its "employee village" -- with winter now progress -- is utterly indefensible.

    What a damn shame. How do they sleep at night in their warm beds? How do they look at themselves in a mirror?

      This is an atrocity. Suer our motels, the ones that are lucky enough to have them, have been extended until January 11th now, but in a month, we will be back in the same boat. Wondering where we are supposed to go ?

A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia.  1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes.  If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub.  I'll update later today.

Note: An Updated Forecast is Available HERE Freezing Rain The National Weather Service has now issued winter weather advisories, two warnings and a watch. It may be a bit too large but, when it comes to freezing rain and slick roads, caution is usually the better course of action.  Here's a color code: Deep purple is an ice storm warning; serious condition where power outages are possible. Pink is a winter storm warning for significant icing. Deep green is a winter storm watch. I don't know why this is still a watch. If I were on the forecast desk I would have a winter storm warning for icing.  Dark blue is a winter weather advisory, a lesser condition, for icing.  Here is a view of the entire watch/warning/advisory area. The small area of green in Illinois is for flooding and, in Nebraska, for snow.  Here is a forecast of freezing rain amounts; totals to 6am Tuesday.  Color codes: Yellow is 0.25 to 0.50 inches. Power outages may occur in this areas. Deep blue i...
