Keep treating the weather like it’s political…you’ll lose every time…

[@juliethompson8685]

Excellent comment.

[@Acer_Maximinus]

@@Mekakinny “…like it’s political…you’ll lose…” That’s trumps “strategy.”😂

[@whatchatalkinboutwillis6131]

@Mekakinny, Weather manipulation helps to bring in chaos when we are close to election time, from here on every four years expect a virus and a catastrophic storm.

[@rosiemackenzie5976]

@@whatchatalkinboutwillis6131 You are absolutely right, more right than you know. Creating havoc in strong republican states so that they can't have a majority, can't get to vote, - or make it near impossible to vote are dirty evil tactics of a government than is so scared of loosing. Plus all the twenty million illegal immigrants , no ID, ready to vote democrate. The next plandemic is also in the works, just trying to get everybody "feared" up first, in a social contagian of fear, confusion and stupidity so they won't think and just obey, seems to be working. To think there are people already who are planning on voteing for cackling Kamala,- seriously no serious thought on how the last 4 years have gone??.

[@asdfasdf-wd1ju]

I would be thoroughly frustrated having to constantly start over every couple of years. It's almost a way of life in tornado alley. I used to wonder where the money came from to constantly rebuild everything.

[@Acer_Maximinus]

Constantly rebuilding homes for these people drive up insurance prices for everyone else. No one should be allowed to build on the beach.

[@Dharmarenee]

The Insurance Companies just stop providing coverage. I live in Texas 6 months ago the Insurance Carrier gave me a 30 day notice they would no longer be providing coverage because they were “overextended “ in my area. I was able to find another carrier thank goodness.

[@ronny9407]

The insurance companies are investing your insurance into building homes on these areas so they can collect the insurance

[@Acer_Maximinus]

@@ronny9407 “…🤡into building homes…” They are re-building. Those home were already built, people were already paying their insurance. Your comment is non-sensical.

Mayor Allers, we see the buildings look like houses and businesses everywhere, why aren't you building structures that can handle 200 mph winds?

[@DagNeb_It]

Why aren’t all buildings built to be earthquake proof or wild fire proof? Answer: it is really expensive to build and really expensive to maintain.

[@InternetDude434]

american structures /buildings are made mostly by wood. i dont know it entirely, but youd think they would hunker down on some stronger materials for buildings, but maybe it costs too much?

[@aislingirish4503]

I agree I can understand building materials are expensive but is it not costly each time this sort of thing happens repairing everything

[@RegebroRepairs]

@@aislingirish4503 Yes, but this typically doesn't happen to each place very often. But things are clearly changing in that regard.

MSNBC - You are Notorious for needlessly "digging & prying" at victim's emotions to provide you with a more "Dramatic" News Brief. "How is it all making you feel? How are you holding up emotionally, mentally & physically"? seem to have become your key questions in most every interview with those directly impacted. I think if ever asked that in a similar situation I'd reply with, "Uh Duh, what a stupid question to ask. How the frick do you think I'm doing?"

[@ObservantHistorian]

I had assumed that Florida's conservative Christians would just stay and trust in the same thoughts and prayers they consider an adequate and effective response to school shootings. Why are they skedaddling, instead?

It’s just horrible. What administration is doing to help out everyone in this time of need and past month. Too much money going overseas for the Democrat agenda. God bless America get out and vote.

[@ObservantHistorian]

Even the Republican governors of these states have asked you people to stop spreading Trump's lies about the hurricane response. There is no way you've seen the conspiracy theories and lies, and NOT seen that they ARE lies. Why are you people SO dishonest?

No the government sent the hurricane cause its election season. Open your eyes sheeple, the government weather machine sent the hurricane to improve ballot harvesting. Vote trump to take America back. Trump has vowed to destroy the weather machine and MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!

We haven't evacuated because Donold Trump said that he could stop the hurricane with one phone call. Most of my neighbors have left our trailer-park, but they're idiots, (Democrats)! I have mailed a $200 check to Donold Trump, so I know that he will save my wife and son and dog and I. Please call Mr. Trump to stop the storm. Why is he waiting for the last minute? This makes no sense why he is waiting so long to stop Milton!!!

Of course all the people aren’t gonna listen to YOU. You have to make them listen not like aggressively or in a mean way. You have be convincing. You have to actually do anything it takes for your people to have an up during this downer you have to be able to have a sense of humor if you want to be taken seriously. People always listen to me. The only ones who don’t listen are the rulers of the people. Their leaders who think the people are for them. But anyway, no one reads this comment. The mayor is def not gonna read this comment and be like omg lemme thumbs up and then try this.
