Cooper said the damage from Helene on the western NC region was “beyond belief.”

God 'bless you and the people of NC effected by this storm. Blessings also to FEMA and the National Guard.

NC deserves better. When citizens have to do the job themselves this means he was not prepared, didn’t have shelters in place like he did during Covid lockdowns and DID NOT provide any warnings or guidance days prior to the storm hitting. Failure on a grand scale. Take notes from Desantis

We have highly trained operators, Drs and nurses being told to go away and stand down by the gov. Locals have rebuilt 2 community's. Gov alrdy took chimney Rock and alrdy bulldozing land. there so much that don't add up its sad.

Lies lies, so many peopletrying to help and being stostopped by local law enforcement

Please don’t be arguing at this time. You’re just thinking about yourself. I used to live in Ashe County. It burdens my heart with what these. People are going through. We are still trying to locate family. Be grateful you’re not suffering from the damage of the storm. Thank you MR. Roy Cooper

So they say call this number, go online for a form. How? No phones or internet access, should they leave for another state to do this. I thought you said roads are washed out and stay off roads.

Fantastic governor. God bless western N. Carolina.😇

[trustinggodinfaith]

Why did they not do a Mandatory Evaluation before Storm hit. They kept talking about 1916 flood. They knew it would be extremely bad🤔.

Money is for evacuating not to fix your house 😢😢😢

Waiting 5 days before even requesting needed assets on the ground in the west from our area bases... Failure in both the state and Federal governments are priceless and unbelievable!

Rino boi backing Harris, folks. He's another liar.

[kravenfoxbodies]

I don't see them wearing any dirty shirts like there really doing something other than just moving some mud around.

Very impressive, Gov Cooper. May you be blessed in all your efforts. Great Team Response.
It seemed to start off slow but you seem to have a tight grip on this catastrophic disaster.

Staged. That hurricane is a fed. Nice try, FBI😂

[catpaladin]

MAGA Trolls all through these comments. Queen City News would be well served to turn off comments. The lies serve NO ONE but the greatest liar of them all. Trump.

Maybe the democrats can send them $700 and a grub hub card like Maui. Then turn thier city into a unwanted smart city with microwave air
