In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s wrath, residents of the tiny town of Bat Cave, North Carolina, are facing a devastating reality — they’ve been left to fend for themselves.
FEMA, the federal agency tasked with disaster relief, has all but abandoned the community, citing a “road closed” sign as the reason for their absence.
As the town continues to pick up the pieces, it’s clear that this is yet another example of Biden’s government failure, and local residents are none too pleased.
Chelsea Atkins, 38, a health researcher originally from Buffalo, NY, shared her frustration with FEMA’s incompetence in an interview with the New York Post.
“FEMA called me and told me they wanted to inspect my house, then called me back to say they couldn’t drive around the ‘road closed’ sign. They weren’t allowed,” she told The Post.

“You can drive it by car for sure, it’s not that bad, you just have to drive around the ‘road closed’ sign. I explained that to them. They said they couldn’t.”
Take note that it is the very same road The Post successfully traversed on its way to Bat Cave.
FEMA hasn’t been here,” Atkins said, adding, “It’s been a civilian-run operation since day one. You can’t ask the authorities for help — they’ll say you need to leave.”
“We’re handling it. Leave it to us and we’ll get it covered.”
While FEMA sits on the sidelines, the resilient residents of Bat Cave have taken matters into their own hands.

Apple orchard workers and local contractors armed with chainsaws have worked tirelessly to clear the roads and begin rebuilding their shattered community.
Even before the Department of Transportation arrived to lend a hand, these civilians had already cleared a path for recovery, according to The Post.
“This has been a civilian-run operation since day one,” Atkins said. “Nobody’s been bringing in supplies except civilians.”
