In a stormy week, President Donald Trump blustered and distorted reality, denying massive deaths from a hurricane that scientists believe to be one of the nation's deadliest and blowing out of proportion U.S. economic growth and his role in spurring it. He's insisting the federal response to Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico last September, was "incredibly successful," even though blackouts there remain common and several forms of federal aid have been slow to arrive compared with past disasters.
Florence weakened to a tropical depression Sunday, but that is cold comfort to residents in North Carolina who have seen over 2 feet of rain and are now battling major-river flooding and possible tornadoes . "Flood waters are still raging across parts of our state, and the risk to life is rising with the angry waters," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said at a midday news conference.
Typhoon Mangkhut, the world's most powerful storm this year, skidded into mainland China on Sunday after claiming at least 59 lives in the Philippines and pummeling Hong Kong and Macau during a devastating churn across the tropical-storm prone region. Although the region remained on alert, the storm was expected to start dissipating after its Sunday landfall.
Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator Brock Long questioned the relevance of studies on the number of hurricane deaths in Puerto Rico, which President Donald Trump criticized earlier this week. Appearing on NBC's Meet The Press Sunday, Long told host Chuck Todd the findings from several academic studies regarding the death toll in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria were "all over the place" after Trump disputed the storm had resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths.
The Trump administration's disaster relief chief said Sunday that "the numbers are all over the place" from studies on the death toll in Puerto Rico from last year's Hurricane Maria, keeping the issue in focus after President Donald Trump questioned the widely accepted count. "There's just too much blame going around," said the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Brock Long, and "we need to be focused on what is Puerto Rico going to look like tomorrow."
President Donald Trump's assertion that the federal government's response to Hurricane Maria was "an incredible, unsung success" fell flat in Puerto Rico, where islanders are still struggling to recover from the devastating storm a year later. "I was indignant," said Gloria Rosado, a 62-year-old college professor who watched the president's news conference on TV late Tuesday from San Juan and was still fuming the next day.
Trump tosses rolls of paper towels like basketballs to victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico in 2017. A year ago I wrote about the problems in Houston , I wrote with great frustration about political expedience, poor planning, and supreme errors in judgment coupled with selfishness, but things have gotten so much worse.
In the wake of a disaster, Americans have always come together with compassion and courage to ask how they can help survivors of Hurricane Florence.

As the death toll from Florence mounted and hundreds of people were pulled from flooded homes, North Carolina is bracing for what could be the next stage of a still-unfolding disaster: widespread, catastrophic river flooding. After blowing ashore as a hurricane with 90 mph winds, Florence virtually parked itself much of the weekend atop the Carolinas as it pulled warm water from the ocean and hurled it onshore.
One Myrtle Beach resident spotted an alligator walking through their neighborhood, and the New York Post warns the hurricane " could displace venomous snakes from South Carolina's wetlands," uprooting "some 38 species of snakes -- including dangerous cottonmouths and copperhead vipers." Cellphone carriers are offering free calling, texting, and data services to affected customers in the Carolinas, and Quartz reports that other tech companies are also trying to help : People fleeing Florence can find hundreds of places on Airbnb to stay for free; the company will screen applicants and cover homeowners for any damage up to $1 million.
Hurricane Florence hit the coast of North Carolina Thursday and Friday, bringing deadly flooding and winds to the region. Farther north, the storm created by Bob Woodward's book about the Trump White House, "Fear," kept on blowing.
Welcome to another edition of What Fresh Hell?, Raw Story 's roundup of news items that might have become controversies under another regime, but got buried - or were at least under-appreciated - due to the daily firehose of political pratfalls, unhinged tweet storms and other sundry embarrassments coming out of the current White House.
