Emily Russell remembers feeling hopeful after she managed to get an appointment with the Federal Emergency Management Agency not long after Hurricane Helene ripped though her home in Swannanoa, North Carolina.

North Carolina residents Matt Van Swol and Erin Derham blasted FEMA over reports that millions funded housing for illegal migrants as Hurricane Helene victims continue to suffer.

Kemp, a Republican, had requested the deadline extension in January. Initially, Georgia had been given a 120-day extension for FEMA applications that came to an end on February 3. FEMA had given 180-day extensions to Florida and South Carolina.

Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff is not happy with the Trump Administration's decision to deny the Peach State's request for extended Hurricane Helene relief.
