Nearly a full week since Michael slammed into the Florida Panhandle and proceeded to tear through Georgia, Virginia, and North Carolina, Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, traveled to Florida Monday to survey the destruction of the hurricane, but fell short of the expectations.
The residents of those areas are angry at the inadequate response of the Trump administration as hundreds of thousands are still without electricity as well as basic resources like food, water, medicine, and shelter.

“They’re doing us like they did New Orleans,” Florida resident Tracey Simmons told the New York Times, in a reference to the George W. Bush administration’s appallingly slow, insufficient, and racist response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. “We know that people are coming, but where are they?”
“We’re not getting any help,” Barbara Sanders, a resident of Panama City — which “looks like a bomb has been dropped on it” following the Category 4 storm — told The Daily Beast. “We need food. It’s just crazy.”
“We’re in need of food, water, anything,” Chantelle Goolspy, who lives in Panama City public housing badly damaged by Michael, pleaded in a phone call with the Red Cross. “The whole street needs help. FEMA referred me to you. That person told me to call 211 [Florida United Way, a nonprofit relief organization].”

Michael was the second devastating hurricane to pummel the US mainland after tropical storm Florence battered the US East Coast in September, causing widespread damage and killing at least 42 people.
Meteorologists described Hurricane Michael as one of the top four most powerful hurricanes to hit the US in recorded history, and the most powerful to strike the Florida Panhandle in 100 years.
On Sunday, the Washington Post reported that roughly “200,000 Floridians are still sleeping in the dark and unable to operate their well water pumps.”
Presently, almost a million people across the four US states are still without electricity following the historic storm.
