Please DON'T GO INTO YOUR ATTIC! MANY PEOPLE DROWNED IN THEIR ATTICS DURING KATRINA, NOT REALIZING THE WATER WOULD RISE THAT

damn it's spawning add-ons before the fight has even started. This is the final raid boss of hurricanes!

We are with you Florida! Please be safe all! 🙏

Owning a house in FL must suck. The insurances are through the roof and every year, your house could be ripped out from it's foundations due to hurricane season.

We’re seeing and feeling the winds pick up down here in Southern Florida. Power flickering.

People will never understand being trapped by weather until it happens to them. It’s really no joke. From my experience in the past, the storms they said would be so bad usually were not as bad as expected and the ones they didn’t predict would be bad, were. Hoping that is true with Milton.

I was worried about this… I specifically said to my mother “if the hurricane spawns a supercell, the supercell might spawn a Tornado”

Люди говорят, что не могут эвакуироваться, потому, что нет бензина?
ГОСПОДИ, ПОМИЛУЙ!
