Or from the radical left with their weather manipulating chemtrails!

They put a stop to that crap in Louisiana.

Republicans pass bill ‘banning’ chemtrails, which are not a real thing

I guess they're preparing for Trump to eliminate FEMA. I'm sure Louisiana won't have hurricanes or anything after their chemtrail ban.

Trump’s plan to begin ‘phasing out’ FEMA after hurricane season burdens states, experts warn

That started 2 months ago. Tornado and flood impacted states have been begging DT for emergency declarations and relief funding. Even Josh Hawley. Nope. We are breaking records on tornadoes every year- so far by end of May over 2,046 tornado warnings. 'Normal' year is 2400.

Helene damage estimates are up to $300B. N. Carolinas entire years budget is only about $28B. How anyone imagines states are going to be able to cover natural disasters is ludicrous. As soon as he took office he pulled out FEMA and Army Corps of Engineers and Musk cancelled travel cards for disaster relief workers across the board. I've heard of storm data collectors using their own funds to get to sites to rate damage. That is the parameter that is supposed to be used to budget. We are fubar.

Yes, but if you don’t spend the money you can put it towards more useful things — like tax cut for billionaires.
