My heart is with you all in Florida, from here in West Cork, Ireland.
Heed the warnings and stay safe. ❤

[MercyMee]

The same people that stayed behind against advice to evacuate will be the ones to complain about how nobody came to their rescue later on. It’s pure stupidity!!!

[themccarthyfamilytruelifes]

The sheriff is straight forward real talk think about your life and stop thinking about being uncomfortable.🇯🇲

[sarahm]

People who stay are going to put EMS and law enforcement in danger when they wind up being rescued. This storm will take lives.

[wildlifechavez]

Does anyone help people without transportation, lower income people, homeless people, elderly folks evacuate?

[ronaldhoneycutt]

Well, in all fairness Florida does kind of stick out there in the middle of the ocean so I wouldn’t be surprised if it just washes the entire state away

[mariajauregui]

The flood of water of the storm can bringing alligators any people can be very dangerous to stay and their houses

[David-oew]

The sad thing is, it's a warm year and there could even be a third hurricane we don't know that, but it is possible that even another one after this could come into the area.

[ladyfuschia]

Never underestimate the power of Mother Earth.

[raystevens]

So what is the State of Florida going to do with people in prison and country Jails.

[shellyroche]

Why don't they open the other lanes? 😢 They can get out faster, maybe?

[carmenwildafuentes]

[JohnBabcock-qycs]

Just looks like they have to clean up twice in one month. Bummer. Move to Michigan.. much cheaper and less storms.

[mickeylucas]

be sensitive enough to get rid of pop up commercials for the meantime, milton is coming and we want info and news not ads!!!!

[mymymom]

I read only 30% Florida above sea level. Highest place Britton Hill 345ft. Mar a Lago in Palm Beach could flood too.

[bigcougar]

"we are getting better at it" - Yeah, but the storms are getting bigger and stronger too.

[jeanomagap]

Keep safe everyone 😢🙏I prayed watching and monitoring from the Philippines God bless all of you out there🙏🙏🙏
