Media event. Every hurricane is misfortune for somebody and entertainment for everybody else, covered because of ratings until finally the ratings begin to fall. It's scripted from beginning to end the same as the last hurricane.
There's the New Orleans Katrina and the Mississippi Katrina. In the Mississippi Katrina, if you have a million victims, you right away have a million helpers.
Meat in the freezer? Have a neighborhood BBQ until it's all gone or all gone bad. etc.
As if the government were the resource you needed.
Was this Thursday? Five days ago: in five days 40,000 Americans have died.

Do you know why your boss says, "Sorry about your father"? It doesn't mean that he's sorry. It means that he's cutting you some slack for a while on job deadlines and social requirements like laughing at the same joke he always tells. That's sympathy that you have use for, and that's why it's given.
If you don't know the guy, your sympathy is you entertaining yourself with your own goodness. It's worth zero.

Thankfully there is not a Republican president or this would be a real emergency.

It also helps that many of those affected are not Democrats.
