  1. Can you even get hurricane insurance? If so, anyone know how much it costs in FL?

  2. As someone who has evacuated at least 5 times due to different major storms in TX in the last 20 years (Rita, Ike (did that one pregnant), Harvey (with a 2 yr old), etc)… I can tell you it is super expensive. Even if get to stay with family, you still need food, gas, going through 20 hour traffic jams, getting medicine, may be limited access to cash due to your bank or pay check, IT IS A NIGHTMARE!! Any Hurricane alley survivor will tell, we do it to save lives. Because staying will get u a trip to the ER or the morgue. #GoodLuckFL #Ian

  3. HURRICANE IAN – 2022 ?

    Hurricane Ian hit like an atom bomb

    Consuming the helpless in it's path.

    The waters of the deep surged forth

    Flooding everything with it's wrath.

    The best of the brave was seen by man

    While rescue crews were helping others.

    They risked their life and laid it on the line

    To save our sisters and brothers.

    May heaven show mercy upon the lost

    Never to love, laugh, sing or cry

    God bless every man, woman and child

    Who before their time had to die.

    Tears are the raindrops of the soul

    Shed by all who cry

    Though the eyes are wet and swollen

    With time and patience they dry.

  4. 🛑 I hope the mayors of the affected areas in florida, declared a MANDATORY evacuation so citizens in need of FEMA AID $ will be able to ACCESS HELP

  5. Oh bs! A tank of gas to save your life isn’t much cost. Everything else can be dealt with later. I don’t ever recall mass starvation or even minor starvation from anyone fleeing a hurricane. Media with its bs all the time.
