Headline: Manta Carlos Community comes out to support new evacuation
Story:
The Manta Carlos community came together in the first weekend of October not for an event, but instead to help those in need. The mass evacuation of an alternate dimension prompted a massive outpouring of community support. Several charities and community groups pooled their resources, ensuring that the new arrivals had all their needs met.

"It was great to see the community coming out to show their support," a representative of the Manta Carlos Relocation Project was quoted as saying. "A lot of the island can remember coming here with very little, and seeing them give back really warms the heart."

Those wishing to donate or volunteer are urged to contact the Manta Carlos Relocation Project, which aids new arrivals to the island in getting settled.

Unusual Snowfall Raises Eyebrows
The snowfall continues to pile up out there at about an inch per day and there are no signs of a break in the storms causing it. Major roadways continue to be cleared along main bus routes, but minor roads that have not been plowed will continue to be left as is. MC city officials maintain they will keep the roads safe as best they can but warn that this amount of snowfall is unusual for the island.

Officials are also looking into the possibility that the cause of this widespread snowfall may be supernatural and they urge anyone who might be causing it to please stop. Anyone who knows something about what, or whom, may be causing this weather is urged to contact MCPD. If the weather proceeds unchanged for another week or more individuals may start to be unable to safely travel on the sidewalks or roads as city officials begin running out of places to put the cleared snow.

City Emergency Management has begun setting up a command center at City Hall in anticipation of needing to direct supplies to snowed-in citizens. If you or someone you know is well-equipped to handle snowy conditions they are seeking volunteers. A brief training session is required.
