Thank you. I called and talked to my friends who are full-time residents of LaBelle at 01:46p. Apparently, it was "business as usual" and they were out having lunch. They said something about Milton making landfall at midnight tonight/tomorrow morning in or near Sarasota.
Just remember, the weather channel shows the deep puddle areas and the areas that didn’t do too well, they make it look worse than it really was. Like standing between two hotels on the beach where the wind is whipping though between them, but the wind away from the hotels is not as bad, they do that a lot.
How did you make out? Our place in Umatilla took a branch to the roof. The metal roof has a huge ding and a leak developed. We’ll be here for a while to get a roofer to fix it.
That’s ok, I don’t need to have insurance, my house is paid for. Without insurance I would save $10,400.00 a year, that’s what I’m paying. And it will be going up next year 16% because of the three hurricanes that hit Florida this year.
Anyone else watching the Trump Rally in Arizona? WOW, Youtube channel RSBN broadcast all of Trumps rallys uncut live. He has got some good ideas about no tax on tips, social security and overtime. And tax deduction of car loan interest .
Kembo,and others, listen to this sheriff tell how he feels about the "help" ,Also note in the video the truck in the back ground, that is a mining,off road truck, it will be over his right shoulder about half way thru the video, that is not normally supposed to be on a street, to heavy. But in this situation, if it runs and rolls, it is allowed to work.the little red atv is about all that will get around in some areas as paths are to narrow.

yea, a family member bought a lot in florida site unseen back in the 90's. Never went down there to even see it. i always teased them that it was the first big sink hole we saw on the tv news . oh they got so mad.don't know what ever happened to it, never found a deed for it or records of it
Well that’s good news I have friends in the tarpon springs area that were already flooded from the hurricane before this one I wonder how they fared haven’t seen them on Facebook yet
Looks like the tornados that we got were more powerful then ever recorded in fl. . I’ve never seen tornadoes in fl looking like the ones in Kansas. Most of the damage that we got in broward and palm beach was from f3 tornados.
This hurricane hitting florida, very confusing info from the weather people. I look at the radar pictures on my weather links and they show it to be a 3 when it hits land, some broadcast I hear say it is going to be a Cat 6 if that was on the scale, when it hits. What the hell? is the information that scrambled? cat 3, you could stay home and make sure your belongings are secure, cat 6 all is gone. Who gains if they claim it is a 6 and everyone leaves and then it is a 3?
It went to a cat5 when it was off of the Yucatán peninsula. Since then it’s been changing from a cat 3 to a cat 4. A three at 125 mph is very strong and able to destroy many structures, trees and power lines. The debris flying around is deadly. It also brings torrential rainfall that leads to class floods. I’ve been listening to the forecast and haven’t heard anything about a cat 6
I would have to dig thru my history on the computer but i read it in 1 place and heard it from a newscaster once. it is down to a 3 now and has not made landfall yet.so maybe it will be weaker when it hits.
True, but the newsman was saying it could have been had there been a six as the windspeed was way up there. BUT it seems it has hit as a 3 so not quite as bad as expected at least. still will be a mess and alot of loss either way. And crews are already over worked from the last 1.
PLEASE take the time to investigate for yourself.i live in NC and some of my neighbors are in Asheville right now.it is a horriable mess and fema is only making it worse.
Here is 1 thing that folks tried to claim was bs, but all the folks involved are speaking here.
Kinda hard to push this under the rug,

This is just 1 case.
Search and rescue volunteers are not even allowed to use small drones to look for survivors. it is a pure hell with a few people acting as Gods with a little authority.
please, do some internet searches, don't believe what the government is telling you.Listen to real people putting their own lives at risk.
Google the town of Bat Cave NC totally destroyed, totally ignored by fema.Somewhat kinda hits home for me as some of my ancestors are buried in the nearby county.
"The FAA is not restricting access for recovery operations. The FAA is coordinating closely with state and local officials to make sure everyone is operating safely in a very crowded and congested airspace."
that only happened after several days passed. same with Elons Star link system,it took phone calls between him and bootleg to work it out. Really, when the richest man in the US is trying to help people in dire need, either work with him or get the fuck out the way. The government don't like him because he is non union and has made nasa look like idiots but still, in a disaster, put the differences aside and help the people.
here is how Southern people take care of their own. From what I have read from other sources, Tennessee is not helping people much at all.

here ye go, save you some googling
Tennessee emergency management is not going in areas with road closed signs up, makes you wonder just how much they care about people.
Hell if you had to, WALK around the sign and walk and search for surviors or walk with handtrucks with supplies,dont' leave people stranded with NOTHING and expect them to bow to you when you do finally show up 3 weeks later.

"He continued that today, nearly a week-and-a-half after the hurricane hit, there's "still no FEMA, still no military, still no nothing, we're begging—this is day eight, nine now."We're tired," he added. "But if we go home, mama and papa won't get their medicine, and they die. So that's why were still forging on."
Just dismantle FEMA and let them fend for themselves?
This was one of the biggest hurricanes in recent history and definitely one of the biggest to hit North Carolina so if you wanna go around hunting for negative stories you can just have it. Your cup is half empty. The governors and mayors are on the news saying positive things about the reaction of FEMA.
Of course there are going to be problems in a hurricane of this size so don't be surprised. Spend a half an hour looking for positive stories on the North Carolina government website or websites of the cities and towns and see what you can find.
Of course Fox, Trump and the like are running negative stories because it's so close to the election and when people make this about an election there's going to be a lot of bullshit being spread around out there. Choose your sources carefully if you want factual information.
This is not about the election or politics, it's about the people. Try to remember that. --------------------------------------- added after 6 minutes
Maybe Donald Trump will go down to throw rolls of paper towel to the people whose homes have been destroyed. Remember that in Puerto Rico? Of course you do.
Yea, I remember, last friday the shelves at my local walmart were empty because folks were buying it all and sending it to the mountains for people to try to clean with and wipe their butts in the woods.
What did biden toss to people when he visited? What has kamala done besides pet a few people on the shoulder?
Trump used gofund me to raise over 2 million and now look at this, 7 million!

This is by a former President that has NO obligation whatso ever to do anything.
Well honestly,the cackling part would be offensive but the pads, might be appreciated, some of the folks have NOTHING but what few clothes they were wearing when the shit hit the fan and took the fan AWAY
Yea, they forgot the money to lebanon that is shooting at israel so we are funding both sides of that war. 750 dollars used to be alot of money. but it aint no more. and to someone who's house and spouse has washed down the river to rot, what the hell are they going to do with it? buy a wide screen tv? I mean really?
