"We have no way out" made me emotional. 40% percent of Americans can't afford a $400 emergency expense. In almost every part of our society, the poor are left behind. How many NC families had to come to grips with this reality?

It's true!! People hardly have enough food for the week, let alone money to buy supplies for the storm!!
-
Supplies and like this gentleman and his family "gas" to get to safety. Heartbreaking.

Did the cities provide / offer bus service to those that cannot afford to go!!
-
Yes, actually they did. They were busing people to inland shelters for free.

They're over full & not all of them allow pets & you have to drive to get to them.https://www.npr.org/2018/09/14/647846512/running-out-of-cots-north-carolina-shelters-strained-as-florence-hits …

There is always a way out if you want to go. 211. I live on Texas gulf coast, had Harvey last year. - people choose to stay which is very different than “I can’t go”. Neighbors help neighbors every time.

A $100,000 per person dinner and photo op for the rich. Families can't put gas in their car to get out of the path of a hurricane. We are broken.

I heard they were using school buses to drive people out, free of charge? Were you unable to get on a bus?
-
How do they get groceries if they don’t have gas? This has been predicted for a week could they have not made plans?
-
Maybe the groceries was the last money they had.
-
Again this has been predicted.. I would think plans could have been made. Reach out to local Red Cross, a church, Salvation Army.....
-
That’s easy to say because you lack understanding and I’m sure the local churches and others are stretched thin. If you don’t have the money it isn’t going to just appear. And in America no one is coming to magically solve the problem
