I can't imagine rebuilding time after time after time, with sky high or no home owners insurance.

[RegenaSlone]

OMG prayers for the state of Florida ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

[jorgemachado]

I can't fathom why people still live there.

[mrh-TO-Canada]

Try telling the people who lost everything it “wasn’t the worst case scenario.” Very insensitive thing to say.

[carolynjohnson]

😢🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾God be with them all....I still have no power either but home still standing....God bless us all that endured this Storm🍃🍃

Hurricane Milton said “hold my beer” after we complained about Helene 😭

Good time to buy stock on Lowe's and HD. Their sales for this 4th quarter will be thru the roof.

We are going to have to admit that maybe all those people shouldn't live along the coast anymore. How many times should we rebuild the same houses?

[HangNguyen-ihrf]

The people who lost their home and low income have officially become homeless after this 😢

[AMCII]

I wish we could send our taxes owed directly to accounts set up to aid victims of these disasters bypassing the government and their dissection of it and useless dispersion. When times are tough here we don't need to send aid anywhere in the world or spend money frivolously. The 'Family first' concept. Works in my home.

Prayers for America
God bless America

Why those people still built wooden houses is a mystery to me. Here they are like a needle in a haystack, and we don´t have hurricanes..

[UncleAlpha]

Sooo why are people continuing living in hurricane prone territories???

[chelloystarted]

Praying for everyone in this area. 🙏😇 Stay strong for those affected

[Noneofyourbizniz]

And Ron Deathsentence still playing down the severity of Milton. Um sir, there are people who died, communities under water, people lost everything.

[keleeannkitson]

I'm surprised these houses should be built up properly with these conditions

[liberatedwoman]

Can we imagine Florida if this has been a category 5?! Half the state would habeen completely obliterated.

[Jen_Jen.]

This breaks my heart I hope these people can recover from this emotionally and socially and everything

[adam.s.]

Sending prayers and love from Australia

[donnahummel]

Thank You 😊. God Bless 🙏 Angels on Earth
