I think I am not swayed by hysterics. And her claims about this being a "unique" natural disaster are falling on deaf ears. Yes, people lose their homes in floods, mudslides and landslides, pretty much anywhere. She claims that storms near the ocean are just water coming in and going back out? Yeah, well houses and structures can go out with the water. Has she seen the aftermath of a wildfire? People come home to nothing but a cement foundation. Earthquakes can turn structures into a pile of rubble. Tornados can be devastating, and destroy homes down to the foundation.
So yes, I believe that homes are destroyed and help is not coming from the government. It is no doubt the worst damage that she has ever seen in her lifetime. But body counts are often exaggerated in the heat of the disaster. We shall see over time where the truth lies.
