Major Cold Blast To Hit Helene-Ravaged NC With Families Living In Tents & Cars Amid FEMA Blunder
Nearly two months after Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, the controversies surrounding FEMA's botched response could have been avoided if the federal agency had apolitical managers overseeing operations and had not diverted funds for illegal aliens. With winter looming over the Appalachian region, at least a thousand people—some of them children—are still living in temporary housing, such as tents.
"Attention Joe Biden or whoever is running this country its 24/7 all hands on deck this week for Helene ravaged areas to make sure people are sheltered properly for the coming cold. The blundering so far has been inexcusable, You have a chance to finish strong here," Meteorologist Joe Bastardi wrote on X.
Bastardi's weather models forecast that a cold blast will descend into the region next week.
The incoming cold weather coincides with a report from local media outlet WLOS stating that "hundreds of local families are left with nowhere to go" in Western North Carolina, adding, "Now some of these children are living in tents and cars..."
This is shocking, as WLOS provides new figures:
The Buncombe County Family Resource Center tells News 13 that they've identified 878 new homeless students since the storm. That is in addition to the 274 students identified in Buncombe County as homeless before Helene. It totals 1,152 kids without permanent homes, some living in tents, cars and campers.

Countless families in North Carolina have been left without safe shelter. Shawn Hendrix, a survival expert, first responder and community advocate, is leading on the ground action for Operation Shelter, a life-saving initiative to provide immediate housing solutions to those most in need.
Whole families live in tents with children. These people need help.
"Do you realize that it's gonna be below freezing in Asheville, North Carolina tonight? And in some parts of North Carolina it's already below freezing. Do you realize how many people are living in tents? . @fema workers (who aren't doing anything) are hanging out in heated trailers. While at the same time, we're housing illegal immigrants in luxury hotels," one X user said.
Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina are still living in tents even as Joe Biden sends all the weapons and cash he can muster to Ukraine. Amish came in and built 100 sheds they could sleep in rather than in the dirt in tents. It’s getting very cold in the mountains.
The government came in and shut the sheds down since they didn’t meet the code. That puts the residents back in tents.
These government people should all be fired for having zero common sense.
A Fox reporter flew down to report after the government said no one was living in tents. The truth is people are living in tents, and a baby died of hyperthermia in one of the tents.
One mother told Fox, “It’s awful, especially with your kids. It feels like you’re really letting them down. It’s really cold. It’s very uncomfortable.” And since many people lost both cars and homes in the hurricane, “and there’s no money for many for porta-johns or bottled water,” Harrigan added, families are looking forward to a very bleak holiday season. “And when you talk to emergency workers here, they say the pace of recovery is just startlingly slow,” he added. One woman told him, “There’s no sewer, there’s no water, there’s no power. There’s your answer.”
