I agree when it comes to disaster it doesn’t matter what color, size, gender, political back ground people are going to show up and help and provide! Prayers go out to Floridians! Blessings!

Went through Hurricane Andrew, lived in Homestead Florida. Andrew was supposed to hit Broward, turned 1 degree at the last moment and flattened Miami Dade. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

What Rep Roach said is so correct, paraphrased he said something like, “The storm is hard, the recovery is so much harder.” This is true, especially so for those who flooded, but whose houses frames weren’t destroyed. The cost of maintaining your entire life while repairing your home are so very hard to navigate. You still have to pay your mortgage. You have to manage repairs when workers are slim, you have to rent another home with diminished supply, and you’ve lost irreplaceable memorabilia, not just “items” that are replaceable. The emotional and financial tolls are incredible. If it’s roof damage, you continue to flood every time it storms until you can get properly tarped. You have to fight for insurance payouts even when you have full replacement and flood insurance. It’s a nightmare that lasts years in some cases. We faced it in Irma. It’s doable, but it takes years and sometimes you aren’t sure your finances can stretch bc you are competing with every other damaged homeowner. I’m praying for everyone, but more so for the ppl who weren’t wiped out bc it’s actually harder to repair flood damage than to rebuild a home that’s deemed unrecoverable. Maybe this Rep’s soon to be realized “lived experience” will help lawmakers understand the problems Floridians face. Congress should have dealt with this after Irma and Michael. They need to make the changes to insurance laws, giving options for all constituents rather than focusing all their efforts on social, “woke” and Disney wars.

I'm at a lost, trying to understand why America is so obsessed in building wooden structure especially on the cost line??? There shouldn't be any wooden structure on or near the beach in south Florida! I see in Oklahoma every year; wooden building are crushed like match box, and they rebuild the same crap. Why can't they build concrete building with block and steel, and proper anchor into the structure of the building to secure the roof. Isn't it cheaper to build tough and strong once? Than to constantly rebuilding each year with the wooden crap!!!

The people in Fort Myers really didnt' have enough time to get out of town. The news was saying Tampa, Tampa, Tampa until the last day. This poor guy. He seems like he's in the state of shock. My heart goes out to him and his family.

Going to visit the ocean is awesome. Having the ocean come visit you, not so much.

Thoughts and prayers for all those affected by this horrific storm.

Can we ALL agree to NOT build homes on barrier islands any longer....you know, those islands God gave us to be the first line of defense against raging storms. With clear instructions to not build a foundation on SAND... but on rock!!
