Praying for Florida! Stay safe everyone!

If I lived anywhere in Florida, I would have drove hundreds of miles 2days ago. Why? Because I don’t ever want to experience having to ride out a storm. When Andrew hit in 1992, coming back home to the devastation was enough for me. I feel so bad for the people who want to leave but can’t. My prayers for everyone there.

Please be careful Floridians. My Prayers goes out to all the people of Florida

The last storm was extremely well prepared by him. It was awesome that he immediately had electric power companies out to repair the down power lines.
Thank you Governor!!!

We know about the Geo engineering, and we know about the genocide in Hawaii. It's obvious what's been happening with the weather for quite some time.

[Susan-ycij]

At least Florida has a Governor that knows how to prepare, regardless of how strong the storm becomes.

Prime example of what this country needs...A LEADER! It's not a popularity contest!

I pray that the good Lord watch over everyone in the path of this storm.
Please do not take chances and evacuate as you are told to and I can only pray that the government will respond quickly and that they do not ignore this situation

Thoughts and Prayers going out to all in the Sunshine State. Amen.

After the devastation occurs. Expect Joe Liedon to come out and say he experienced similar storm effects, when his garden hose leaked flooding his yard.

Florida suspends tax on hurricane supplies when one is approaching. I wonder if California did this.
