Aged me and my wife (Tampa) were/are hurt badly. And yet, some public good has emerged. So many friends, slight acquaitnances, and relatives taking in people like us, flooded out even in "safe" areas.

I'm sure GRU and Gainesville are grateful, but what about Duke and Teco?

It's a pleasure to see that the Russian trolls have not yet discovered this comment thread. It's like breathing fresh air. Thank you Mr. President and thank you for all that you do for our nation.

So sad that Biden didn’t even mention Gov. DeSantis!! It doesn’t matter if you are a Democrat or Republican like he said, so why can’t he give him the credit for being a great leader in this state of Florida?!!!
