I'm about 30 minutes south of where the really serious damage occurred in western NC. We had a lot of damage here, too, -- flooding, trees down, no power for a while and we still don't have internet. I'm seeing SO many videos on social media, both from reliable sources like local TV stations and from various local folks posting. The very first post on nearly all of them is always that we need to stop sending money to Ukraine. The BOTS are all over the place but many are from real people, locals. (It doesn't help that I'm in Trump country.) I don't watch Fox News or listen to right wing talk radio, (I have a brain,) but I bet I know what they are saying. It's absolute madness.
I am in North Carolina, but further east. I’m not seeing much from local friends, but the amount of misinformation and outrage I’m saying from people out of state is insane. And, unfortunately, most of them have no idea what it’s like to have a hurricane or what, these mountainous areas are actually like. I think both of those things make it easier for some people to onto the fake outrage.
