There are hundreds of people without power in Citrus County. We are sitting in the dark. And the winds are still pretty intense here. STAY SAFE EVERYONE 🙏

Does anyone remember back 20 years ago when Al Gore said if we don't take global warming, we will see severe droughts, 100-year storms every few years, and many more major hurricanes? And they said he was crazy?

Dear God Help those who are dealing with this insane storm and it's aftermath!!! I watch from across the country so helpless. Having loved 1s in the area makes it such a painful wait for their power to be restored so we can hear their status and I'm sure their beyond wild stories! May all find comfortand refuge in this mayhem, somehow. God bless!!!
