It's eerie knowing I’m only 4 hours away from the disaster. Lord, help us all. RIP to all the lives lost after Hurricane Milton.

That snapping allegator, poor thing is TERRIFIED. The animals are unhoused, disoriented, and fighting for their lives in the currents, just like we are!

Why do people who live by the coast in an area prone to hurricanes, storms and tornadoes, : build a single level home with no stilts on land prone to floods; build using wood planks; build very close to the water or refuse to evacuate after 1 week of warnings and recommendations to do so? I'm perplexed.

Florida is becoming uninhabitable, five major hurricanes in 2 years. But some people brag about their beachfront properties.

The need to stop wasting the I’v fluids on cosmetic procedures and save them for people who really need them to stay alive. BBL should be banned.
