There was plenty of news coverage in the New York are regarding NC. For weeks as a matter of fact. And lots of false propaganda about response!
I don't care how rich you are - when you lose your home filled with memories and mementos, it must be devastating. Northern NJ was decimated from Hurricane Irene in 2011 and Southern NJ was wiped out from Superstorm Sandy in 2012. We weren't completely wiped out, but my town looked like a war zone after Irene. We lost many family things from my childhood. Even if we were rich, which we're not, losing irreplaceable things is heartbreaking.
