“The Stench is Unbearable”: Dead Bodies Piling Up, FEMA Abandons NC Residents Amid Hurricane Helene
CORRECTION: Amanda stated the fire chief of Fairview, North Carolina had sent private helicopters away that were attempting to provide relief to residents. She misspoke and meant the fire chief of Lake Lure, North Carolina.
Jordan Chariton interviewed Amanda Campbell, a resident of Forest City, North Carolina—which is about an hour from Asheville— about the devastation she witnessed in Asheville as a result of Hurricane Helene. Campbell also criticized inaction and lack of follow through from FEMA in helping desperate Asheville residents who are trapped and/or desperately waiting for help.
