Hurricane Milton makes landfall in Florida as a Category 3 storm

Hurricane Milton made landfall Wednesday along Florida’s Gulf Coast as a Category 3 storm, bringing powerful winds, deadly storm surge and potential flooding to much of the state. Milton drew fuel from exceedingly warm Gulf of Mexico waters, twice reaching Category 5 status.

The cyclone had maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (205 kph) as it roared ashore near Siesta Key in Sarasota County, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said.

Why isn't this guy running for president? No income tax, manages immigration, manages natural disasters, and Florida still shows growth. I don't understand why he didn't compete better in the primaries.

((So We sent upon them a roaring wind in bad days, that We might make them taste the torment of disgrace in the life of this world, and the torment of the Hereafter will be more disgraceful, and they will not be helped.)) Verse 1 6 from Surat Fussilat

Try this prayer:
Oh god (gods) please help those who weren’t killed by the hurricane you sent to Florida. Also god, please don’t let Trump be president again as he has suggested using nuclear weapons to stop hurricanes and that would be very bad as most of Florida would be uninhabitable due to radioactive fallout.

But just in case here’s my advance prayer request to clean-up all radioactive fallout from such efforts. OR don’t let it happen in the first place. Come on god, just because Eve ate a “forbidden” apple?

So will the Florida government throw all those homeless people in jail since he made a law against homelessness?
