Nearly two dozen people have been confirmed dead in the aftermath of massive storms that hit three Southern states over the weekend. And while President Donald Trump was signing an executive order freezing hiring for all federal employees during his first “day of action,” the governors of affected red states have been begging for assistance from the federal government.

As four severe storms moved south from Georgia and Mississippi into the Florida Panhandle, 50 unconfirmed tornadoes have been reported from Thursday to Sunday, according to the Weather Channel. Experts believe weeks of cleanup will be required, but so far, the Trump administration has all but ignored the crisis.

Katrina all over again?

Heck of a job Brownie.

“We’ll be helping out the state of Georgia and we’ll be speaking to [Florida] Gov. Scott right after this,” Trump said. “Alabama is a special place. Florida is a special place. But they got hit hard. They all got hit hard. But it looks like Georgia has lost at least 11 people as of this moment — a lot of people. So on behalf of all of us, Gov. Deal, condolences.”

Brownie did a heck of a job, as well as the other republican governors whose states were hit by Katrina.

The only people who did a sh*tty job was that incompetent libturd dimwit Blanco, who prevented the Feds from going into Louisiana for 48 hours, and the criminal Nagen, who after screwing over the city of New Orleans with Katrina, bent them over again by pillaging them of money.

The federal government approved another emergency request on Thursday for aid for residents in six counties struck by the wave of storms that left 15 people in Georgia dead.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said the assistance could include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to help victims recover. FEMA has yet to decide on extending the aid to another 10 counties.

Quote:Those affected by January severe storms and tornadoes in Georgia should apply for disaster assistance, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said on Thursday.

The six counties that have been approved for federal assistance are: Berrien, Cook, Crisp, Dougherty, Turner and Wilcox.

According to FEMA, Homeowners, renters and business owners in those counties can begin the disaster assistance process by registering online at DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 800-621-3362, which is video relay service accessible. Survivors who are deaf, hard of hearing or who have difficulty speaking may call TTY 800-462-7585. Helpline hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time, seven days a week until further notice.

Assistance may include grants for temporary housing, rental assistance and home repairs, and for other serious disaster-related needs, such as repairing or replacing personal property, and medical and dental expenses. Low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration may also be available to cover losses not fully compensated by insurance.

Seems to me that FEMA is doing what it is supposed to do.

Fitbud, you and Tom, are trying too hard....

throw enough stuff at the wall and hope something will stick. Lets get this out of the way. Mistakes will be made by President Trump. He's not a baby kisser or a ass kisser. Other words not a politician. So on that front, if you look at it through those glasses a lot of mistakes will be made.

In the end I hope he takes care of the huge problems he was elected to try and fix. The little ones will workout, maybe after a mistake or two but they will workout. Being on the ground today or next week will not change the loss of life the storms caused.

Stop trying so hard

Quote:As Gov. Nathan Deal toured tornado ravaged counties in southwest Georgia, his phone rang.

It was President Donald Trump.

Deal said it was his second conversation with Trump about the deadly storms that killed 15 people in the state in the first two full days of the president’s administration.

“We’ve had other tragedies in the past,” said Deal, who is in his seventh year as governor. “This is the first time I’ve spoken to a president about these kind of circumstances.”

Trump told Deal federal disaster assistance has been approved to help Georgia recover from tornadoes, severe storms and straight-line winds on Jan. 2, the state’s first bout of severe weather this year.

“My team tells me we’ve approved your application in record time,” Trump told Deal on the phone.

Quote:Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Ga., also toured the devastation with Deal and GEMA and FEMA officials.

Amazing how different the story is when you get new from a source that isn't a complete and total leftist propaganda rag like Salon.

Yep. Fake news. More lies from the left.

As I posted on another thread, Obama ignored the floods and storms that severely hurt the Albany, Georgia area. Massive flooding and wind damage with fallen trees causing major damage. Had one friend who had 3 fall on her property with one crushing her roof.

FEMA was on the ground just a couple of days after the tornados the next week, once Trump was president. With the arrival of FEMA, there was a facebook post about it with hundreds of "likes" within hours.

My wife was very emotional and glued to the weather news that day as tornados swirled around the homes of friends and family (that area is where she is from). She saw a picture of her aunt and uncles's former house destroyed. She kept calling friends to make sure everyone was ok as tornados were confirmed very close to many friend's houses.

So Fit-it is fake news.

We'll see how efficient the help is, but they are very grateful that Trump paid attention to them and sent help after Obama and the media had ignored them.

FEMA issued disaster declarations for the October 2015 South Carolina floods on October 17th. The flooding occurred on October 4th. Seems to me that FEMA is working faster under Trump than it did under Obama.

Quote:“We’ve been begging for help from FEMA (since Jan. 2) – the reason the federal government exists,” County Chairman Christopher S. Cohilas said. “This community was crippled. Our families have been hurting, needing help for some time.”

Cohilas called on President Donald Trump to help cut the “bureaucratic red tape” and help get some “damn boots on the ground.”
---
In an email to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a FEMA spokesman said the agency is working on the Jan. 9 assistance request from the Albany area to deal with the first round of storms that hit the town early this month. The agency also did initial damage assessments across Dougherty County Monday, including aerial observation, the spokesman wrote.

So.... Obammy did nothing for 18 days. The County Chairmen started "begging" Trump on January 23 so Trump had been in office all of 3 days max. And Kaplony just debunked your BS further.

We still have Katrina refugees still living here in my area. Many never returned because they were mainly the poor.
