Well, they wanted the lithium and quartz mines in NC , now they will mess up McDill to destroy every military branch's readiness and cripple a RED state .MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, is an Air Mobility Command base home to two major commands: U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command. The base’s mission is primarily air refueling and airlift support. MacDill AFB is less than 10 miles from Tampa, Florida, and serves over 50 tenant units.

Historically it’s not uncommon as it seems. According to weather.gov and only looking at Louisiana and Texas coastlines: “Of the tropical cyclones that have affected the designated area in Louisiana and Texas, 38 originated in the Gulf of Mexico, 16 in the Caribbean Sea, 15 in the Atlantic, and 2 in the East Pacific Ocean. The earliest storm to arrive in the region was on May 30th in 1959 (Arlene) and the latest storm affected the area on October 28th (Juan) since 1886.” They also went to state that: “Each year, an average of ten tropical storms develop over the Atlantic Ocean, Carribean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. Many of these remain over the ocean. Six of these storms become hurricanes each year. In an average 3-year period, roughly five hurricanes strike the United States coastline, killing approximately 50 to 100 people anywhere from Texas to Maine. Of these, two are typically major hurricanes (winds greater than 110 mph).”

Praying people!! Pray that God will weaken it, or turn it away!! Pray! Jesus says, "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name (Jesus), I will do it" (John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="853">14:13</a>,14). Pray, and ask God in the name of Jesus to turn it away! "For the earth is the LORD's" (Psalm <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1441">24:1</a>). It's time to turn to Jesus rather than FEMA, Biden, etc.

HURRICANE FLOODING, TEARS & MORE - 2024 ?? You never said I’m leaving You never said goodbye. You were gone before I knew it And by storm I know why. In life I loved you completely In death I love you still. I hold a place in my heart That only you can fill. It broke my heart to lose you But I know you’re not alone. A part of me left with you As the seeds of aftermath were sown. Conviction is our emotional union As we weather the storms of Earth. Thank God for His amazing grace Which helps us reveal our worth.

[@KentVigilante]

Yet the lack of adequate response from Kamala and the Democrat party has made it so these storms bolster the Republican movement, these storms happened during the Democrat administration so it's not like they can blame it on Trump, a lot of the areas hit worst like Ashville are Democrat areas so if anything people worried about it lowering Republican turnout don't really consider that it might lower Democrat turnout as well
