Others accuse the administration of President Joe Biden of using federal disaster funds to help migrants in the country illegally, or suggest officials are deliberately abandoning bodies in the cleanup.

PS: Hurricanes are actually caused by time travel when the aliens reverse time in an area, so the air in that region spins against the earths rotation.
