I wish there was not Hurricanes in this life.
This hurricane is created by the WINDMILLS! Let's wait for our supreme leader with tiny hands to use a Sharpie to draw a trajectory arrow that turns it towards Cuba and announce this hurricane is going away from FL and all problems will be solved!
Last ditch effort for sand…lives at the BEACH. I’m no expert but if you need sand that bad…I think there’s some left over at the beach.
Too bad most Floridians ignore the fact that warming ocean temperatures cause stronger hurricanes. Eventually there will be category 6 hurricanes.
this storm still pales in comparision of wetness to when yo mama sees my infinity stone collection
Lol these reporters..”that listed boat shows just how much damage these storms can cause.” 😂
Basically the whole state of Florida is in the water.
Ya hear that Florida it’s up to you to clean the beach
I hope everyone takes these storms seriously. I'm in n.c.
God is asking for true repentance. Please return to Him.
Will never understand why people continue to live in Florida. It's a bit too late now, but people just shrug these storms off and then move right back in…
I'm still praying for Orlando!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
People need to evacuate. Get out of the pathway. Regardless of it lessens to a Cat 4 by landfall or not. Please don’t risk your lives. People can slowly rebuild with help but they can’t come back if they don’t survive. I am so worried for the people of Florida.
The best way to survive is to not be here. Good idea.
GIVE TO UKRAINE 😅
Florida is a Republican hotbed. Why are people waiting for the AUTHORITIES to come and shift debris instead of shifting for themselves?
It is so easy to dismiss other people and their problems that need federal help until your own backyard is overwhelmed.
People should watch PBS Tera: Weathering Earths Extremes. (Unless you’re in Florida. Get out of there!) There are parts of this planet that are imploding. So easy to ignore if your area seems good. Find out what is really happening. Educate yourselves.
Who could have anticipated such a hurricane as this so late in the season. It's a total surprise, propagated by the out of control, left wing media.
Historical Context: Project Stormfury (1962-1983): The U.S. attempted to modify hurricanes using cloud seeding, but it was ultimately deemed ineffective. GPT4= Conclusion: In summary, the areas that have faced significant destruction from recent hurricanes—particularly in Florida, Louisiana, and Texas—correlate with regions that have shown strong support for Trump, especially in rural and older demographics.
Stop with the drama. Itll be a 2 if it hits land. Not a 5.
Kamala Harris isn't worried
This will be the most powerful storm until the next one, this is climate change in full view. The governor is a science denier, just perfect. Florida will not be a viable location to live in the near future, GOOD LUCK. Quote" You will always remember the summer of 2024 as the coolest summer for rest of your life" NASA climate scientist.
According to the Republicans, this is all fake news and fake climate change.
why do they ignore the east coast of Florida?????? the storm does not evaporate after making landfall!!!!
People in the path of this storm, please look out for your elderly or infirm or poverty stricken. They might not have the ability to get out of the way. 🙏
She needs to quit immediately
It's over 175 MPH now
175mph now btw. It's getting worse
looks like Opran will be able buy some more land on the cheap…
DeSantis aide confirms Ron won’t answer Kamala’s calls.
I live in Tampa, I’ve evacuated with my family. Praying for everyone’s safety. We all need to take these storms seriously.
Think people need to stop rebuilding in these areas. Ffs.
This should be a warning to all New Yorkers to stay away from Florida.
Oh mean I travel next weak from Germany to Disneyland Orlando….
I heard that their bringing out the FEMA death camp trailers out to get red of the body's, I believe we are enter the end….. God bless all of you !
