There are climate horrors constantly happening all over the world.
I don’t think news outlets are deliberately ignoring this one.

Another hurricane is on its way to Florida.

From that one piece (linked)

Re Biden:
He said earlier that the federal government would be with affected residents in the nation’s southeast “as long as it takes.

Government officials and aid groups worked to deliver supplies by air, truck and even mule to the hard-hit tourism hub of Asheville and its surrounding mountain towns.

Biden was/is due to go Wednesday.
I have just read a lot of conspiracy theories about this.
Biden does not say "no more help".
There's lots of news about it.

I don't know where you are looking?

Apologies if there's a thread about the disaster happening right now in North Carolina.

Hurricane Helene has caused total devastation. It's heartbreaking. Whole villages wiped out. Hundreds of people missing. Many deaths. This area isn't usually affected by the hurricanes.

I saw a minute long section on the BBC news but that's it. Obviously with the middle east situation there is more emphasis on that but this really is catastrophic.

The best place to find info on this is Tiktok. People have made clips of the devastation. They have nothing, no electricity, no food, hospitals can't sterilise, desperate people looking for friends and relatives.

Apparently USA press and government don't seem to be doing much either. Very little content in the media and Biden says there's no more help for these people.

Quite shocking
