Sadly, many times when people don’t evacuate, it is not because they are unwilling or unwise, it is because they are unable. We need to do better for the most vulnerable in our society. Respectfully submitted.

When they tell you to mark your name and DOB on your body with a Sharpie you probable should have left.

[Me]

I’ll know the danger is real when DeSantis puts on his white go-go boots.

[MarcDionne-dx]

Remember when Ren DeSantis wanted to dismantle FEMA?

[Castaway.....]

I survived cat 5 Winston, Feb 2016, 224 MPH (357 KPH). Nothing I owned survived. Water surged up to roofs in houses. Very very scary. STAY SAFE!

A two-story house is typically around 20 feet tall, and this is comparable to the storm surge that is advancing toward the coastline.

I have a very very bad feeling about this storm.. Please pick up and just go..

[kimberlyjackson]

I feel sorry for those on that side of Florida. We are getting heavy rain here in Jacksonville. But so far so good. Be safe out there

[bthsr]

Remember that project 2025 would dismantle the national weather service to privatize the data for profit

[farid]

Do not worry people, your cult leader is going to show up with rolls of paper.

[earhustler]

Praying for everyone in the path of the storm. Especially for those who can’t evacuate.

[HumanityALL]

Been through 3 hurricanes in Florida, these idiots on the bridge though, SMDH. My kids all live in Tallahassee, just because there is less people, doesn’t mean less damage.

[paulinesdaughter]

This guy is excellent- you can hear the disbelief on how huge this is

[georgekaplan]

Best of luck to everybody in the path.

[adamcolclasure]

I thought they didn't like science surprised they don't just call it wind. Feel bad for the residents since most insurance doesn't cover Florida anymore they can thank their governor tiny Ron.

[sherrimccartymcmillen]

Bless their hearts ❤ I pray and hope people
Evacuated. Godspeed Florida

[lovebug]

You keep saying that the people who are not evacuatimg are doing so because they do not believe in the seriousness of what you are describing. Some cannot leave due to health issues or monetary struggles.

Please be aware and more empathetic with various circumstances, rather than shaming those unable to leave.

[Jean-quqw]

Maybe the Maralardo god can toss out paper towels...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don't just stand there Mr Trump, get out that Sharpie!

[larryborsa]

Hurricane? No big deal. Trump will make it go elsewhere with a Sharpie.
