It's heartbreaking to think about those that can't evacuate - the elderly, the disabled, whatever it may be. How awful. 😭

The fact that Ginger Z just gave the entire storm track update in the middle of a cat 4 Hurricane without even skipping a beat. What a pro!

[txasboy]

Why yall put your employees in that type of danger though?

[xboxai]

I’ve said this for years, Miami is NOT a place to live. This happens every year and people are too high and drunk to remember.

[LpzCh]

Can we take a moment to appreciate these news reporters who go through hurricanes, tornados and more just so people know to be protected

[crazycomments]

Watching from Saint Augustine, FL, stay safe neighbors!

Like who is going to be sleeping during a hurricane ?

[ricksandoval]

How can you live in Florida? Rebuilding every year?

Reporting from Clearwater high school, mostly calm and slight rain off and on since 9pm.

I wonder if Ron DeSantis fled to Cancun, like Ted Cruz did when Texas was hit by freezing weather?

[JanetM]

It’s extremely dangerous to stand or wade in rising waters…. You must have rubber boots on. ….. be safe

Please be safe my fellow Floridians! 🙏🏾
