Catastrophic conditions in Florida as Hurricane Milton makes landfall

This hurricane season clearly shows how MAGA is unfit to govern or manage responsibilities. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted by the situation involving Milton from Utah and Tampa Bay. So they’ve designated a stadium with a fabric roof as the primary emergency shelter?

[@OliverLiam-px3vx]

My prayers go out to everyone affected by Helene and Milton. My deepest condolences to the families who have lost loved ones in this hurricane. It’s troubling to think the government might bear some responsibility. Can you believe it? He tried to withhold aid from California during the wildfires, and now he’s blaming another administration for his own actions. And still, didn’t the Florida Governor just sign a law preventing a state agency from even mentioning “climate change”?

[@froggynzack]

I can't even begin to say how thankful i am that fee deaths have been reported due to hurricane Milton considering what happened with Helene. Now that's not to say that it's not possible someone could pass due to medical issues but it wasn't as catastrophic as Helene. Prayers and love from Nashville for all those affected by these storms in the last week.

[@LIFEwithBAVAN]

It's because Floridians mainly know how to deal with hurricanes. What made Helene so dangerous (or more dangerous than milton) was it hitting areas that aren't really used to hurricane and storm surges (Appalachia). It's crazy it hit that far inland. Those people didn't see all that coming.

[@cagal1066]

​@@LIFEwithBAVANAppalachia got hit with a deluge not storm surge. And when dealing with narrow valleys where it's easy to build, there's no other place for the water to go. So we hit the towns. Very different situation.

Resources are already spread thin from FEMA. This is why it is important to vote in intelligent leaders who know to trust experts, and heed the warning of scientists who warned that we would see more severe storms like this. Republican leaders on the other hand voted to remove funds from FEMA

[@stevierubalcava5924]

​@@yesterdayfortoday592During his presidency, Donald Trump failed in both the preparation and disaster response to hurricanes, storms, and flooding and actively worsened conditions for Americans impacted by such weather events. He failed to adequately prepare the country for hurricanes by leaving disaster response positions open months into his term. After Trump’s FEMA botched the response to Hurricane Maria, Trump downplayed the suffering, claiming it was not a “real catastrophe like Katrina.” After Hurricane Harvey took 88 lives and caused $130 billion in damage in Texas, Trump joked that the state made a “fortune.” Ahead of Hurricane Dorian in 2019, Trump altered a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration map of the storm’s trajectory to suggest that Alabama would be hit. After the National Weather Service corrected Trump’s claim, he continued to insist that Hurricane Dorian would hit Alabama. Hurricane Dorian did not hit Alabama. Trump also rolled back critical flood protections that protected Americans from rising sea levels. During Trump’s term, the U.S. saw five billion-dollar flooding events that caused $28.5 billion in damages and killed 37 people. The construction of Trump’s border wall also exacerbated flooding and threatened wildlife.

I'm in Port St Lucie FL, and most of the flooding you see on the news are coastal towns, so of course they will flood and have damage. My dads friends house was half way under water. but that's the price you pay to live next to the beach unless you build a monolithic dome house 20ft higher than everyone else. All over my town the roads were flooded briefly, then recessed quickly. The biggest damage all over South East Florida were the tornados. We had one 5 miles down the road destroy half a sheriffs office, and another ripped through a local mobile home complex, killing at least 30+ people. I'm not sure why people would stay in a mobile home for a hurricane....they're mostly older people so their children or friends/relatives should've known better than leave them in that. We only got outer bands and it was ripping pretty damn hard here for a CAT1, if it was any stronger like a 3+ we most likely wouldn't stay and we are native Floridians. Its not the wind or rain for people like us who live in CBS houses because we had zero damage to our home or property, but its the tornados. We have friends who's yards and parts of their homes were actually destroyed from the dozens of tornados that came through. A Cat 1-2 normally aren't that scary if you have a decent CBS house (And not on the beach)

[@ShinyShuckle-j1r]

You clearly have no idea how disaster relief works. That $750 is for needs that FEMA can't immediately provide. FEMA provides TONS of goods, but they can't provide every little tiny thing. But they do provide food, water, medicine, aid, specialized workers to get utilities working, camps for people being displaced, etc etc etc. They're the BEST in the entire country, and possibly the world, at disaster relief. You're being tricked by hatemongers that only want to see you angry, and you're too gullible to realize it. Keep being a good little sheep

[@roykilbourn9573]

asking as a Michigander but am respectfully curious. Does a hurricane like this where they are saying it'll be the worst storm ever, and it turns out not to be (thankfully) does it make you hesitant to evacuate next time they say it? i know we get our share of blizzard stuff in Michigan but hurricanes are next level for sure. i just hope someday that people DONT look at this and NOT evacuate if it's brought up again. Ii have family in those areas so nothing but respect and prayers for all affected.

[@wk3004]

Yeah that’s the big question. Boy who cried wolf kind of scenario. I would always want to be safe than sorry though. Hurricanes aren’t as predictable as meteorologists act, but they’d be yelled at if they didn’t seem confident
