      Damn, that should be a poster on every street corner down there in the US. (And probably up here in Canada too, leading to the election).

    Did you know that many red states get a little hurricaney? Hurricanes are getting worse, and having your private insurance cover FEMA services is not going to reduce your premiums. But maybe if the scavenger race fights with the looter race, it is all by design.

      Video: ‘When I saw the devastation, I just went back home and cried,’ Tornado in Cave City leaves town torn apart

      LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is asking a federal agency to reverse its decision about storm victims in the state.

      The governor’s office said in a Friday statement that Sanders is appealing to FEMA to reverse its decision to deny the Arkansas Major Disaster Declaration for individual and public assistance. The declaration was for the storms and tornadoes that crossed the state on March 14 and 15. Arkansas to appeal federal denial for individual assistance after March 14 storms

      The governor’s office statement said the following counties are in the original request: Baxter, Stone/Sharp, Hempstead, Independence/Randolph, Sharp/Randolph, Nevada, Independence/Jackson, Randolph/Clay, Woodruff, Clay, and Greene counties.

      “Arkansas communities are still recovering from this spring’s tornadoes, as the sheer magnitude of this event resulted in overwhelming amounts of debris, widespread destruction to homes and businesses, the tragic loss of three lives, and injuries to many others,” The governor said. “To relieve the burden on these counties, cities, and towns, I am appealing FEMA’s decision to deny Arkansas’ Major Disaster Declaration request.” Noem says she plans to ‘eliminate FEMA’

      Sanders requested the Major Disaster Declaration relief on April 2. On April 18, she asked for a 30-day extension of time.

        Consuming their content with an adblock costs them money.

        It’s like when you go to Walmart and find items for <50c and buy them individually with a credit card.

      Dunno why you’re being downvoted. Op editorialized but didn’t back it up. I don’t doubt she did say something about FEMA, and she’s a republican so she’s def said anti-federal things, but I’ve not found any evidence here or on google for the precise claim put forth by op.
