‘Please get out now’: Sheriff warns Tampa-area residents floodwaters aren’t receding

While surveying flooding in several feet of water, a full mile away from the Alafia River in Florida’s Hillsborough County, Sheriff Chad Chronister urged residents to leave, as flood levels in the area are expected to keep increasing as the day goes on. #CNN #News

[@loubelle-x8f]

For thousands of years, Florida has been shaped in reshaped by powerful hurricanes. Urban development was never supposed to be there. water always wins. Best thing I ever did was to move the hell out of that beleaguered state.

[@Dharmarenee]

Texas is the same way and they keep building in already dense areas and the flooding keeps getting worse. I want to move but there is no state immune to either man-made or natural disasters. If it isn’t problems with flooding,fire,hurricanes,tornados its dams failing,chemical plants exploding ,power outages and bridges crumbling. America is failing and nothing is being done. Our infrastructure frailties makes us ultra vulnerable to those who wish us harm.

FEMA is always there. I used to be a "storm bug", this is not what we called ourselves. Anyway we cleaned up after tornados and floods and such. We, (hundreds of workers) worked for various construction companies. There were companies from everywhere who would come to clean up. Roofers, tree climbers, forklift drivers, heavy equipment operators. All of whom were contracted out by FEMA. We followed the weather, tracked storms and as soon as one hit we would call whichever company we were going to work for and find out when to pack up and leave. FEMA and first responders ( cops, firemen, air rescue, etc. etc. were always there first to send help for the people and assess damages, costs, and meeting with other government entities. Then plumbers, electricians, city workers came in. Last comes the afore mentioned companies after the owners have negotiated contracts with FEMA. It's a whole process, can't just anyone run over to a disaster area and do shit.

They have stay in double-wide coffins and pray a tornado doesn't come through or a flood doesn't carry them off. IN FLORIDA! And do those modular home communities and trailer parks at least have communal tornado shelters that everyone can use? Hell no! You have the freedom to die in Florida.

It's heart breaking to see this level of desturction and makes me wonder what life in Gaza must be like. Floridians can and will rebuild and life will return to normal whereas Gazans cannot rebuild their homes, schools, electric grid nor water systems. They have a Hurricane Helene every day from now on.
