Residents Displaced By Helene Say It's Worse In FEMA Hotel

Some residents displaced by Hurricane Helene can't seem to catch a break.

Since the storm, FEMA has been paying for some residents to stay in a motel in Lexington County. Those staying in the Clarion Inn in West Columbia, though, say living conditions are going downhill. One person says the heat is off, and the lights keep going off. Others report leaks in the ceiling and holes in the walls.

The manager says residents may need to vacate so repairs can be made, but they don't want to. FEMA tells WACH Fox News they can move to another motel that FEMA will pay for.
