Edit: Before any more people say anything about climate change, just know that I'm not a climate change denier. Also before anyone else starts berating me for "not listening" and "not being ready", I'm surprised simply because storm surge numbers (as far as I recall) are usually not very accurate for our area and so I'm surprised at the accuracy of the stats this year. I was listening to the news and i prepared for the storm and I'm doing fine. In fact the forecasts showed that it wasn't gonna hit Naples as bad as it is now, it wasn't until Monday that they realized the path had changed.

The guy at the site of the STORM broadcasting did a NICE JOB. Even the Cameraman is not left out . They both shows us in details and things aregoing over there. He is a Good Broadcaster and the Camera knew what's he s doing also

Ali Velshi is one brave journalist! Here in the midst of a hurricane and recently in the Ukraine. Praise to him! By the way, is this anywhere near Mar a Lardo or where DeSantis lives? Of course, these two cowards wouldn't help anyone else but just see to their own safety.

[@RadagastBrown420]

No this is the gulf side Florida.

[@TheRoybert]

Unfortunately Lardo is on the other side of the peninsula. I checked awhile ago...

@@RadagastBrown420 Well, perhaps Trump will hear that and assume he has a tee time there.

@Melanie Hale Perhaps by inflating its value.

I'm with DJ66, throw paper towels to Trump AND DeSantis. But wrap them around bricks first.

People have made such claims for millennia, based on whatever "prophecy". Yet here we still are.

Why would you leave your car so close to the shore during a Cat 4 hurricane?

[@Hometowngrooming]

And plenty of warning, couldn't drive and park it inland if its your second vehicle. At least then you might have a chance.

You are going to need more than 'prayers'. What is it with you Americans always asking for prayers as if your fictional god is going to help you? This is nature at work. Accept reality.

[@aurora_occidentalis2248]

It was forecast to hit much further north. Anywhere from Tampa Bay to Tallahassee. Hurricane prediction will never be perfect.

@@aurora_occidentalis2248 but at least, when the rain and wind came, it wasn't sudden.

Maybe there was no place that high above sea level. Most people heard the call and left early. Also, he’s at a hotel and those are most likely tourists. They wouldn’t know where to take the rental. People also take disabled vehicles to hotels.

I was thinking if I had chosen to stay, I would’ve found a parking garage & left my car on the top floor. An Uber ride is cheaper.
