Florida State Guardsman Jonathan Howard says many in the mainstream media and politicians are painting a rosier picture of the government's response to Hurricane Helene .

"He can take his $ 750 , it's a joke," Howard said of Biden 's claim that storm victims are "getting everything they need" He also said he was initially denied entry to North Carolina to aid in recovery efforts, though the blame was passed along by several agencies.

Remote communities in the mountainous areas affected by Helene have rendered many unable to make contact with the rest of the world.

Roads and bridges severely damaged or washed away, fallen trees further obstructing relief efforts.

Some teams have resorted to the old-fashioned way of transporting much-needed supplies by using mules and horses.
