    You guys and gals taking notes, Very important here, This couple commandeered a cabin to ride out the storm.
    Don't be scared to do this, Leave notes, We were forced into your cabin because.... Contact info, leave this behind for anything you can do to repay them,
    Fresh water wells, Get to know the locations and owners. You need this!

    Seems like another storm is brewing in the gulf , and could be hitting Florida .
    Lets hope not , these folks need a break .I did watch one video saying weather manipulation and then directing it , just so the folks were limited to vote .
    As seeing the same storm Hurricane John that hit landfall twice after if left first with wind damage and then Tropical Storm John the following morning. Undergoing rapid intensification, John strengthened from a moderate tropical storm into a Category 3
    Strange things !!

    Yep. Our weather team says it will most likely hit around Tampa as a Cat 4. Thankfully it should be a fast mover.

    ***Update on this post. My daughter is blonde. Not really, she's Native American but might as well be. So she just came from a meeting with a FEMA rep and they are waving the approval process, that, normally, takes 3 to 4 months. They have a convoy leaving tonight headed that way. Including a 40' trailer of donated supplies. ***


    My daughter and her husband own a trucking company. She called me earlier and was livid. FEMA contacted her and said they urgently needed trucks to haul equipment to NC and Florida. She told them they had over 30 drivers and could divert the majority of them to haul thier equipment. They said "OK, you have to register to get on our approved vendor list. We'll send you a form to fill out." She asked how long it would take and they said it was between 90 and 120 days to get approval!! She said WTF!! You're in urgent need but we have to wait 3 to 4 months for some beuarocratic BS!! And wait 90 days to get paid after submitting an invoice.
    That's our government at work.

    90 days to get paid, that's a laugh. They'll be fighting that invoice for years.
    With Milton moving out to the Atlantic FEMA is going to be spread even thinner. Only advantage FL has right now is that they should know how to handle the cleanup and restoration after the storm.
