My heart goes out to the people who Just Lost alot in hurricane Helene, and now another Catagory 3/4 is gonna hit Again, Not even giving them a chance to recover or rebuild, everything left is about to be gone. Lets pray that this will de-strengthen or hit somewhere besides Florida. Stay safe survivors🙏

People really need to stop being righteous and egotistical and tribal we're all Americans and we all deserve to have a home that we feel safe in regardless of what state you're in.

[lilygatschenberger]

I can't do this again God please protect us all🙏🏻

i have never seen a hurricane come from mexico wtf

[HarryToeface]

Seems like it's our turn to get battered by multiple storms. Lord God I ask that you protect everyone in my area and everyone outside of it. Spare us from the worst of this storm even though we don't deserve your help. Show them you are truly a merciful God, when we don't get what we deserve that's a real good thing. For we dont deserve to live in this land you have given us and that we have continuously destroyed.

May God have the whole state of Florida in his hands .

The oceans are warming up adding fuel to these hurricanes.

Every single model has it making a direct impact on Florida at a Cat. 3 or greater, never seen anything like this before, the way that this storm has formed and intensified just over the 24 hours alone, Florida can’t catch a break, praying for you all, hopefully you all have somewhere safe to retreat to because it’s not going to be safe there, another Helene all over again, possibly worse, stay safe Floridians 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Buildings are only coded for 75 mph winds. This is not good.

I have been away from South Florida for far too long. This is my first time seeing this new lady on local 10.

[SupermonkeyPlaysMC]

The fact that early projections forecasted a cat 3 and we’re now reaching theoretical limits in terms of power in this storm is shocking

[KeithGreenan-ed]

I have lived in tampa for 60 years and there has never been back to back large hurricanes coming to fla.

[BriansRamblings]

IMO what everyone is forgetting is thousands and thousands of power linemen are GONE guys

[SamuelsonAraújoSantos]

People, for the love of God, I can't take these hurricanes anymore. I'm here in the United States in Tampa. I can see that the hurricane is going to pass over Tampa. The eye of the hurricane is going to pass over Tampa.
