Aid to several communities impacted by Hurricane Helene was temporarily paused in parts of North Carolina over the weekend due to reports of threats against Federal Emergency Management Agency responders, amid a backdrop of misinformation about responses to recent storms.

Some FEMA operations were paused in Ashe County out of an abundance of caution Sunday, Ashe County Sheriff B. Phil Howell said on Facebook. This includes in-person applications for aid in at least two locations “due to threats occurring in some counties,” according to the county’s emergency management office. That assistance is expected to resume Monday.

    I don’t think this is going to outrage anyone new. People who already thought the Democrats were destroying the country are probably still thinking that, and now they just don’t get any support, and their neighbors who were hoping for support are pissed off that their neighbors are assholes, because they can read what’s happening in the newspaper and they can use their eyes and ears and brains.
