I cannot imagine if I lost my house and all things in it especially keepsakes and photos. The Pain is palpable .. God Bless this man and all that are currently suffering as a result of Helene.

I've never been sad before a hurricane hit. Watching these people prep with tarps and scrap wood is breaking my heart. I was hit by Katrina piggy backed by Wilma. It sucks getting hit numerous times a season. I pray for the best outcome.

Still stay the same thing in the American media -- "Milton will ease to Category 3, and that's good", forgetting Helene was Cat 3 too, and look what that did!

Mother Nature is a Powerful Unpredictable Beast and One shouldnt stand toe to toe with Her, but We Floridians take Our chances Until that ONE storm leaves an Impression on our Psychic Mind.

I pray that the Cat.5 be reduced to a Cat. 1 or just a storm. People please get out of the path of a Cat. 5. You will be blown to pieces. These board houses cannot withstand such wind. I would suggest that America put pride through the door revisit their building code and use concrete blocks and steel to build housing which will be in the hurricane-affected areas. Jamaica could be of help to train American board house builders to become masters in building houses using block and steel. I would also recommend that houses should not be less than two stories or levels. Board houses cannot survive a Cat. 5 so run for your lives from Florida. Milton is dangerous if it hits Florida at a Cat. 4 or Cat. 5.
