Kudos to all the Nurses and other health care personnel that stayed to take care of patients!

it's a really good thing a lot of people didn't listen to Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene

FEMA is one of our best agencies. I've worked with them. They dedicate their lives to helping us when we've lost everything. This should unite, not divide us. Obviously!

[DarthSailorMoo]

Thank you FEMA for ignoring Death DeSatan's desires to get rid of you and still help out Florida anyways.

[sallyprzybil]

Thank you FEMA employees for leaving your own homes and families to go into these disaster areas to help people out!

She is much more clear than DeSantis. I actually understood her and felt her support which was opposite of him.

So sorry for Floridian having to be under Ron ‘The Stupid’ non-leadership. Thanks to FEMA for the recovery efforts.

God bless America 🇺🇸 ✨️🙏 ✨️

We pray for all those who have been affected by Hurricane in All the states, Florida and surrounding States

Thank you FEMA, USCG & all 1st responders for your bravery and rescue.

[Edog-gw]

We are so grateful 🙏🏼 and so glad that people heeded evacuation and voluntarily evacuated both saving lives and our sanity.

I looked it up and about 3500 people die a year in motor vehicle crashes in Florida. About 10 a day. Compare how many died from motor vehicle crashes during the time of Milton hurricane vs without the hurricane. Fewer people might have died during the hurricane.

We need an update on the fate of Lieutenant Dan.

i hear that 1 immigrant can do the work of 12 trumpers.

Why did the 🐔 cross the road?

To avoid being factchecked on the 60 minutes interview.

Red states before disaster-"We're going to secede because we hate socialism!"😡
Red states after disaster-"Please government, we need help! Socialism ain't that bad."😏

[litabrooker]

Thanks for sharing this with the whole world. Under this Democratic administration - and the future government💙🙏 - America is already great! Your first responders, and FEMA (and all your top class organisations who serve and support the American people in peace and strife) are second to none. Bless you all.

[roejogan]

Thank you to the Florida police officers helping to prevent looting!

[Jumper]

Millions of American right wingers will never see this interview and even if they do somehow they will not believe her.

[customer]

Thank goodness people evacuated, which saved their lives. You could not pay me to live in FL- terrible weather, terrible governor!

[first-iy]

This is proof that God loves Florida .
