Hurricane Milton leaves death and destruction in its wake in Florida

The storm roared onto the state's west coast as a Category 3 hurricane on Wednesday, bringing tornadoes, powerful winds and flooding rains. Several fatalities have been confirmed.

Yes! We think we’re the main characters, but we’re just another species that Mother Earth can easily dust off in a snap. We’re not in control. Time and Nature, with Order and Chaos, are the real unstoppable forces running this show-we’re not as much a part of the equation as we think we are. We are guests on this Earth but we keep on mistaking ourselves for homeowners. Glad that you’re safe and alive! Remember to always be grateful for the invitation 🙌

Im in West Michigan, Grand Haven. Me n Mrs long retired. Lots of friends retired n moved to Florida. Were hearing from most of them about moving Back to Michigan. Snow for a few months doesnt sound so bad to them now.

I never understood the fascination with Florida. Too many negatives to list on here. Hoping all your friends are safe. God bless ✝✝

@@jen-a-purr Well youd love West Michigan. I live in fact directly on Lake ,Grand Haven. Bought 2 acres n small house in late 50s. On bluffs. Cheap. Today ,,WOW I get lots of low 7 figure CASH OFFERS. But me n the Mrs raised 5 kids here. We put up with our winters in return for our glorious springs,summers n fall. We do get storms n tornadoes too. But NOTHING like Florida or down South/plains state tornadoes. Think about moving here. We are growing n West to N. Michigan is Amazing. And yes the big city of Detroit too.

[@joshuatinococamacho90]

For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall be the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24;27-31 Dead Sea Scrolls name of Yah{God} is YHWH. Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him and obey His voice provoke Him not, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him. Exodus 23;20-21 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not, if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. John 5;43 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in His fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, if thou canst tell? Proverbs 30;4

[@leliad7602]

Earlier today I posted a question about alligators in the flood water. Nobody on the news has mentioned that until I just saw this video tonight. At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="218">3:38</a> minutes an alligator is seen biting at the tires of a rescue vehicle. I have really been worried about all of the rescuers and residents wading around in, or floating in, this flood water. Alligators can and will live nearly anywhere. New waterways will have been opened up to them to interest them in exiting the canals, ponds, and rivers where they usually reside and move into flooded streets and residential lawns. They are probably hungrier right now because their usual food sources may have been diminished. I haven't heard anything about wildlife being drowned out, but it has to be happening. I fear we could even see some extinctions of species that were on the endangered list, if their habitats are in the worst areas.

[@Thdlsicnekslfjeindk]

1) god bless first responders wading through alligator infested waters 2) if you had the means / ability to evacuate, and you didn’t, and then you needed rescuing, you’re selfish

City officials: Pay off the mortgages to these homes and get the money to pay homeowners to move North or West. Make the beaches just hotels for recreation. No more homes.
