Jose Diaz-Balart: Bradenton Was Battered By Winds

One thing we know: Biden won’t be throwing single rolls of paper towels like t-shirts to the victims.

I think we have been proven to be absolutely correct. We were hoping that the Florida governor would fall flat on his face in response to this weather disaster that his website in Florida. We were wrong. So far the response from emergency personnel has been absolutely outstanding. Pre-planning was done and resources were position to move in as soon as they could following the storm. Over 70, 000 people have already had their power restored. The response to this disaster has been amazing.

lets all make as much Drama as possible !! hurricanes are normal in Florida ?

Sea levels are not rising. We have photographic evidence from the days of the first photography compared to photographs today that showed sea levels are about the same then as now.. This hurricane is a normal event. We were in the middle of the hurricane season which will last until the end of November. Science can prove being on the shadow of a doubt that weather and climate which are two different things, are controlled by solar and geological events. I would urge you to stick with provable science rather than unprovable political science. Stay safe and stay healthy.

Hearts out for effected Floridians. (Is there a long term plan for ‘the water situation’)? Will the Gov mandate house boats for costal areas…or, will it be business as usual??? 😮
New & old homes can easily contain a house boat, within. If the vision could be realized, folks would stop loosing ‘everything’ with each flood event. Will FEMA ever ‘get a ‘real’ vision for costal areas ? 😮

The Storm has passed……Now, Florida must join Texas in a New Republic.

I love how well you pronounce Spanish words and names.

Drought in the Southwest, more and more violent storms with rising sea levels in Florida, and, yet these areas continue to grow. About 600 people move to Florida every day, lured by sunshine, and, no state income tax. How long can this continue with the environmental conditions that are only likely to get worse. At some point either the government or insurance companies will have to take steps to limit new growth. Most likely it will be the insurance companies who will raise premiums, or just abandon the market. I f you can not insure your home, no lender will give you a mortgage, this will start to limit this crazy growth.

[t.r.campbell]

We see the pre-planning paying off in the emergency response to this hurricane disaster. Relief and emergency crews were preposition around the Miami area and now have rushed in or are heading into the devastated areas. They even thought about installing emergency cell phone towers to facilitate communication. Approximately 70, 000 people have already had power restored in the far south and west of the devastated area. We have to remember that this thing is not over because the hurricane is now taking aim South Carolina. Power outages in storm surge flooding are still major issues.
