Time for the forgotten first responders to show up. Lineman put their lives on the line everyday while leaving their families behind. One of the top ten most dangerous jobs in the world. Much respect guys.

All those poor people. Sending prayers nobody was seriously injured nor died. 🙏 . I’m in north ga and we can get bad storms from the hurricanes but so far we’ve been lucky and only a little rain since yesterday nothing else .

I want to know the number of people killed by this storm

Couldn't go 30 seconds without mentioning climate change, could he?

[YvetteJirsaraie-cu]

Return to God and pray for our country!
Leave politicians drama and return to God and family. These storms will get worse, so take heed to what God is trying to tell us! Stop destroying our country with greed.

Oh yea got to throw that climate change in there keep the narrative up we have had a quiet hurricane season with no major cats yet.
