If you want fema death squads look into hurricane Helene in North Carolina, particularly the Appalachian region.
Very fucking strange shit happened that was much weirder than this article, or anything that happened during Katrina. Fema and north carolina state officials effectively set up the population to die in the hurricane and then lied about the number dead and missing. People affected by it were given absolutely nothing, or an utterly insulting amount of money that could barely even buy groceries for a week, to "rebuild". Such little response was given that it's almost certain that they purposely threw everyone under the bus, they did not even try. They actively discouraged people from helping with anything. State troopers arrested people for helping, and then did nothing.
I'm from north carolina, my family lives there still.
Sometimes some remnants of a hurricane will blow over into the mountains and that's that. We get hurricanes all the time, in late summer to mid fall every year actually. I lived through many hurricanes.
But they never reach their peak in the mountains. At worst they will reach peak strength in the piedmont, like hurricane hugo or harvey. Even that is rare. But I've never seen a hurricane reach its peak in the mountains in my life, my parents have never seen it, my grandparents have never seen it. The mountains are a natural, near impervious barrier to hurricane gales. The most that ever blows through would be some moderate thunderstorms that are generally dying remnants of a hurricane
Plus the "handling" of the disaster by state authorities and the US government... it smells pretty kosher to me. The fact that the region it hit is one of the whitest and most self sufficient in the country, and then it suddenly wasnt, is also a rather strange cohencidence. There's still parts of the mountains that are uninhabitable. And, as one would expect, the government, state and federal, has done *nothing* to rebuild them.
