You know it will be bad when Al Roker and Jim Cantori say they're worried about this storm's impact and that they've never seen a severe storm in all their years of experience.

Gov. Ron DeSantis and state administrators have rejected at least $11 billion in federal funds in the past few years, saying there were strings attached, they “politicized” roads or fought climate change. By continuing to opt out of federal funding for essential programs for Florida families, like health coverage, disability services, mental health funding, climate resiliency programs, and more, the state not only continually sends billions of our tax dollars to other states, but also prevents improvements in quality of life for thousands of Floridians.”

[@mikepoole2248]

Southwest Florida: 49 total hurricanes (including 17 that were a Category 3 through 5) Sitting directly on the Gulf of Mexico, which has much warmer waters than the Atlantic Ocean, Southwest Florida is tied with its southern counterpart on the Eastern Seaboard as the second most hurricane-prone area in Florida. The only thing separating the two areas from one another is the fact that Southwest Florida has been hit by 17 major hurricanes, one more than the Southeast. That includes six Category 4 and one Category 5 hurricanes.

[@CKLoving]

When I was a kid my parents would take us on a weekend road trip across alligator alley through the Everglades. It was a single lane roadway east and west bound. We would get behind some old guy driving way under the speed limit and my dad would get so impatient, then get in that left east bound lane and “gun it” and I’d cover my eyes and pray that he would get back over in time. 😅 I used to hate the ride over bc there was nothing for miles except swamp. Then, we would reach Naples and Ft Myers. All open beach virtually no buildings for miles. We’d go out to Sanibel island with our picnic lunch and mom would bring tree limbs and sheets to make cabanas and we would play all day with no one in sight. Huge sea shells and conches. It was an amazing time to be in Florida. Then we’d go up to Sarasota and there was no true beach. No white sugar sands. It was a mucky muddy swamp with horse shoe crabs everywhere and smelly- like rotten eggs. I hated that beach. But we would still have many adventurous days there. Great memories. Lots of great childhood memories and more great adult more recent memories. My heart just sinks when I see what has happened in the most recent years with these storms and what they have caused. We/I have weathered many hurricanes growing up there in the 50’s-70’s and my family continues on the east FL coast to manage there. My worst childhood memories were of Hurricanes Donna and I think Cleo As an adult it was driving through tornadoes and the landfall of Michael. Back then, the worst that we ever imagined was having your windows blown out, having the power off for a few days and no school (yay). Most boys were out in mid calf waters surfing the flood waters with boards that had blown down off windows in the storm. We didn’t evacuate back then. even if we had warnings of 135-150 mph winds. No one ever freaked out when we saw all the sand washed inland. All the adults acted like it wasn’t anything harder than anything else. We grew up with grandparents and parents who lived through the poverty and devastation of many bad storms, world wars and severe economic downturns. We learned to falsely assume we could all handle whatever could hit us and that we’d survive. The irony today is that I’ve somehow managed to outlive all of them. It’s a very tough time to watch the once familiar world washing away or being bombed away to smithereens. Very heartfelt empathy goes out from my heart to everyone in the Helene and Milton aftermath. 💔💕

If Donald Trump was president and this happened in a blue State Donald Trump would not send Aid!!

[@shyft09]

Exactly what he tried to do when he was in charge, source: Republicans in his administration. MAGAts please inform yourself, you can google it

[@sh80611]

Here let me educate you: 1. California Wildfires: In 2018, after devastating wildfires in California, Trump approved a major disaster declaration to provide federal aid for recovery. 2. Hurricane Sandy: Though it occurred before Trump was president, in 2012, Trump expressed support for aid to blue states like New Jersey and New York following Hurricane Sandy. Later, as president, his administration continued to provide federal disaster relief in response to ongoing recovery needs in those regions . 3. COVID-19 Pandemic: During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump’s administration provided aid to states hit hardest, including blue states like New York and California. For instance, the federal government helped supply medical resources like ventilators and personal protective equipment.

[@RootofEcstasy]

​@@sh80611 That's only a part of the story.

[@jodiebostrom5675]

Regardless, DeSantis has turned down all federal aid for Milton. He may change his mind in the aftermath? His ego does a disservice to his constituents. I moved my dad out of Florida after the destruction of his home in Venice, FL due to hurricane IRMA. I was in his house and it frightened me. This hurricane is going to be devastating, especially after back-to-back hurricanes. Leave the state, unless the insurance companies have come back? That was what DeSantis tried to run on - right? It is cheaper to relocate.

[@sh80611]

@@RootofEcstasy yes, this is KZbin, so a truncated comment is warranted. But because libs love “fact checking”, the aforementioned comment still provides enough information for the purpose of dispelling these ridiculous narratives that you all are so prone to provide.
