No matter what category it is better to be safe than sorry.

[@Randy778]

So it weakens a bit but grows even larger. Between a rock and a hard place the 500 miles affected...

[@lisamareeaccary5132]

Even with best efforts it seems it’s still quite unpredictable in exact terms so I hope everyone will take them seriously

I live in Vegas....a pretty windy place where we get 50 to 70 mph winds several times throughout the year... They are talking about cat 3 and 4 ect. And sustained wind speeds... So much gets lost in translation here..... ...GUST... So here in Vegas we will be getting 45 mph winds all day.....somewhat intense but not much to worry about... But every 10-15 minutes you might get a gust of 57-67 mph for 30 seconds...... Theses gust are what rocks your house and messes stuff up in the back yard... These gust dont get talked about enough....Its strange because they are the true horror of this aproaching system. Lets say it hits Florida as a 120 mph cat 3....Yes thats devastating... BUT 160 MPH 30 SECOND GUST WILL BE WHAT RIPS YOUR ROOF OFF I have family on the east coast center of Florida who seem to think the cat 1 or cat 2 winds will "only" be 70-100 mph and they can bunker down in home and safely ride it out... They seem unaware that the gust hitting their house could be 100-130 mph..... A force more frigtening than they could ever imagine...Even 70 mph gust here in Vegas are terrifying with the sounds of things smacking into your home and high pitched screaming wine of the wind... I cant even fathom 100 plus speeds

[@1968poder]

once the upper band going in front of the swirl, reaches close to land and fusing to the turning mass, the force will decrease the intensity, shifting south and dispersing

Republicans: Why isn't kamala Harris in the eye of the storm instead of doing interviews? Trump would be. Trump would reduce the severity of the storm. Probably by just thinking it.

[@bcfortenberry]

Trump would get out the sharpie and the nukes. He’s very smart.

[@MrMarkOlson]

Trump LIVES in Florida and I see him helping NO ONE. You are delusional in your hatred for Harris.

[@lunchguy659]

remember when tRump was president, and all these yahoos were trying to get a hurricane to stop spinning by shooting their rifles against the wind's direction. I couldn't believe how many people tried that thinking that it would work. It was almost like a test to see how gullible people can be and at what scale. There were a lot of people that fell for that and may other made-up stuff that they saw online during that time especially.

the reason why people do not find El Dorado is because mr. columbus and napoleon plundered all the gold we see ruins of El Dorado

[@MSNBCult]

No worries, you'll be getting another $750 after this one as well, you'll be living like kings afterwards.

[@judithmcdonald9001]

Do they study civics in school anymore? Your statement is pure Laura Ingraham BS. How much do you hate your fellow Americans? "They" didn't do it.

[@Dqtube]

Which is $250 more than under Republican rule a few years ago.

[@levelup843]

Spread misinformation much? The intial $750 check is for immediate needs, like gas/ water/ hotel/etc. Depending on the impact, storm victims can receive around $41,000 in help. Of course, that's not going to rebuild a house, that's what insurance is for. Hopefully homeowners had their insurance setup to cover such an event. I heard many didn't have flood insurance, because their mortgage didn't require them to have it. These two unprecedented storms should be a huge wake up call to us all. Such massive devastation, isn't easy to fix quickly. Be prepared by having emergency supplies on hand, year around, that way you're better prepared for whatever unexpected thing occurs

[@tringuyen7519]

$750 is for essentials to people who need food, medicine, & fuel. FEMA will give more out once it gets their insurance claims. Pull your head out of your a**!!!

[@Word1373]

mr. columbus and napoleon saw the structures we used to get energy and they destroyed them and retrofitted them

[@lindascheffler7861]

Talk to congress. They decided the amount.

[@bcfortenberry]

You’d complain no matter what.

[@beyvntarson3123]

750 for immediate need, additional FEMA funds then went to help afterwards. Republicans also stopped several provisions of the Dems FEMA funding bill; Mike Johnson is also now refusing to recovene Congress until after election day when FEMA needs more funds now. It's the Republican cult that has lead to this.

[@rt-420]

That’s just for food, medicine and other things. But don’t let the truth get in your way. 🙄
