GOD be with you, Ms. Mayor. Wish you well.
Sad and disastrous. GOD please be with everyone.
Has anyone ever figured that the reason Florida gets wiped out like this all the time because of all the shitty people that are there… nothing but bad attitudes and poor customer service every where all over the state.
Time to move inland a bit. How did the homes there do?
Florida isn’t a safe place to live in. Florida is based on water water raises covers all Florida. I used to live there from 1992 to 2002,I saw the future I gave up on the beauty for my life’s safety.
If you don't look back… you can't see your mistakes and what to do to make sure this doesn't happen again. I love how these politicians always say "right now, all we can do is look ahead and move forward". SOMEONE needs to look back!!

Secure Climate funds from fraudsters like DeSantis.
DeSantis defrauded Covid funds to pay for migrant flights.
What would you do next time now that next time is now?
Use natural environment and construct flood swales.
Can some men be talking heads these women don’t know much when it comes to structures etc
Death Santis should have been swept away….🙄
This Karen ran off and didn’t issue an evacuation.
Shameful ABC Just Shameful.
Wow there is the mayor
The lands too low.I would not risk that area.Its global warming.And Florida always gets big storms.Always!
WHY “REBUILD” WHEN IT’S ALL GOING TO GET DESTROYED ANEW NEXT HURRICANE SEASON. How about relocate? At this point home insurance shouldn’t cover anything in coastal Florida region.
The problem was everyone here thought it was going to be like irma, they said it was going to be like this and it wasnt so nobody was prepared for this biblical storm
The hurricane was supposed to hit Tampa then head north to Atlanta. It hit south of Tampa and went on to hit south Caroline.
Stupid to rebuild in the same place, will only be flattened again.
I bet y’all haven’t seen this….

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
"The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
So you must be careful to do everything they tell you.
But do not do what they do,
for they do not practice what they preach.
They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders,
but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Everything they do is done for people to see:
They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long;
they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant.
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled,
and those who humble themselves will be exalted".
YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them, or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents, up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments.
If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.
AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.
This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive others their sins,
your Father will not forgive your sins.

These are the teachings,
The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
REPENT, and start doing what is right.
If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples;
then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Yet a time is coming and has now come
when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
GOD IS SPIRIT, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.
In the New Heaven and the New Earth,
only Righteousness dwells.
May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.
Please don't compare this to a war mayor. There is no comparison whatsoever. What these people have been through is horrible and they're going to need all the strength for what is ahead. It is not however even remotely the same as fighting in a war !!!
My heart goes out to all my fellow Floridians during this time.
Global warming or climate change is only going to get worse as time marches on. The odds of taking a direct hit from one of these monster storms is going to increase as the planet warms up. There will be more storms and they will get bigger and more life threatening.
Perhaps the time has come to realize that the loss of life and property isn't worth the risk anymore. It doesn't have to be necessary to live directly on the coastline or on a small barrier island. You can live a bit inland and still travel to these places to enjoy them. Sooner or later the insurance companies are going to come to the realization that insuring homes right beside the water is going to break them at the bank and they will start refusing to insure such places.
Humanity is going to have to adjust. This is unfortunately just the beginning.
How do raise money for these people?
Don't look for federal government money
Oh !!!
REFUGEES !!!!
REALLY !!!

How do you trust leaders who don't want to learn from the past?
Why not pause and use some common sense and think instead of arrogantly touting off that you are stronger than nature and rebuild. Is this lady for real?
Critical Race Theory vengeance perhaps?
I’m so sorry for you all, the devastation is like nothing I have ever seen. It just puts into perspective how lucky I am to have a place to sleep and not have to think about where my next meal is coming from. I hope that Sanibel can become stronger because if this. The scars of this tragedy will never truly go away, but I hope that once they rebuild, That once people come back to pick up the pieces of their lives that they can bloom from the damage. Learn why everything was so destroyed. Make stricter building regulations for houses close to the ocean with higher piles under the homes. Make it so that houses are required to build further from the beach. Consider installing some natural sand dunes to slow to brunt of force and make it a requirement that houses near the water have to be able to withstand tornado force winds. I’m sending prayers and blessing. One day you’ll look back and say you’ve survived and you will continue to survive all this loss. while things will be hard for a while, the entire country is here to support and listen. please donate if you can
Even at the height of the storm only ten percent of the state lost power
ABC reported false death toll numbers and reporter seen laughing on the David B . You guy are insane your day coming soon
I would love for people to be given the option to relocate, instead of rebuilding. That island looks like a sandbar or barrier island. With climate change, this inevitably going to be an unsuitable place to have a home.
