Our hearts go out to all those who are in the path of this latest hurricane 🌀.

[nasvawda]

First responders, medical staff, police, National Guards etc, are all human beings with families and loved ones. The public must listen to the warnings and not put themselves and these personnel in danger. Praying for all in Florida to be safe.

[laurabrooks]

Thank you for offering to the poor folks who can’t or don’t have the resources to drive and get out of town to live somewhere else thank you for providing buses and shelter spots for them and their animals

I am a childless cat lady, and I am proud of that. We have worth even if we do not have children. I help raise my girlfriend's children and took care of my mother as she had dementia and cancer tell she died. When no one was there for them, I was because I had no children. A woman's only value is not in her having children. Some of us can not and still have great value to others in this world by the love and care we give to others. My mother deserved better, and yet at least she had me. I got to be there as her son protecting her and as her daughter caring for her as well in her end days. After she died, I went over to live fully as a woman I was always and never looked back. I do not regret anything. I only move on forward, loving others adapting and living my life. That is all God requires of us.

🙏 for Floridians! Stay safe... survive!

[davewitter]

One of the defining characteristic of a narcissist is a complete lack of empathy. Another thing is they never accept blame.
SOP attack, deny and blame others.

[shelbymitchell]

Prayers for Florida. Be and stay safe!

[ChristyLeighArt]

My brother lives in the Yucatan and just experienced this hurricane... don't mess with this thing, get out!

[londaacuna]

SAVE YOUR PETS AND YOUR NEIGHBORS PETS! DON'T LEAVE PETS TIED UP! If you can't keep them- then take them with you - and let them out when you get to higher DRY ground.😢😢😢😮

[bayareagrlever]

Poor, poor animals and wildlife too! Please don’t leave your pets behind! Don’t leave animals tethered or in crates, they won’t be able to survive.

[gyreandgymblewabe]

The House should immediately redirect tax cuts for the wealthy to a program that enhances the emergency response systems for extreme weather events and the bolstering of the infrastructure of these most vulnerable and vital regions of the nation.

[brittyluvzruben]

I pray plp can see through this mess ! We have dead babies men women & children plp still stranded without a way off mountain sides & all I keep seeing is damn politicians going at each other & lies lies damn lies !!for God sakes when are we going to do something!?!?

[bobjohnston]

Why wait on the last day to leave. The weather officials and every news station been warning everyone to leave since the weekend

[marydone]

Suing Tik Toc for addiction. Parents I see you all the time while with your kids constantly on your phone. You are responsible parent up

[documax]

People in trailer parks most at peril but likely have little money reserves for evacuating and loss of work. Plus their homes most prone to damage or destruction.

[PreciousBloodOfJesus]

This lying piece of garbage. Straight up sold his soul.

[barbiejohnson]

Rise Humanity, rise. 

Rise up from all of the lies. 

Rise up to clarity, let go of old ideology. 

Humanity is one big family! 

What injures you injures me. 

It is time that we become free,  

and trust our own guide from within and  begin; 

to heal Humanity as a whole,  

joining each other soul to soul. 

Namaste.

[roxannebandish]
