Guess what, not his job it's yours. His job is to stay out of your way and assist where needed, i.e. directing FEMA, fixing state infrastructure and managing the national guards to assist in both. Your insurance company should be pulling its own. Again, not his job. |

DeSantis was down there and brought all kinds of aid including gas. I guess you're getting paid your $3.50 to come here and spread lies. |
Hurricane Update User ID: 72581270 United States 10/05/2022 09:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Live on the scene and only my 2nd post been lurking here for many years... Anyway... It's a wreck down here. People here are from all over so you have all the panicking selfish pople who need to buy everything up and be greedy. Comcast/Xfinity can't get through to thm. They are reporting our internet as good while some of us have lines ripped down. No internet still, first time on mobile data about 3 hours ago. Just got power today and water 2 days ago. Gas lines have mellowed out. Target is open. Small Mom/Pop stores some open some closed. Restaurants mostly closed. Things are opening up though and as of today traffic signals are up on main intersections while temporary stop signs have been placed at minor but busy intersections. The real "heros" are the electricians. Not the police. Anyone can direct traffic! Hahahaha LCEC refused outside help and had 9% power up while FPL was at 80%. Ron got on their butts and now the power is rolling here. We have some streets with electrical poles down all the way down the street. I am lucky. I have good neighbors all around me. On each side ans across the street. We have helped each other well. Interestingly some kids were out playing, just like the 80's. That was nice. That and just haningoutise talking with neighbors was great! More to say, but I will end on that positive note. Sincerely, A Florida Man Hahahahaha My family are natives. P.S. Any questions I can't guarantee I will be back to answer but I will try. |

No running clean drinking water. No electric or clean clothes or cars. It will take 6 months to restore services and pay claims. 6 years to repair infrastructure 12 years to rebuild houses. The problem is being completely compounded by hot weather Sewage, oil, gasoline and chemicals in the ground water. Alge blooms will explode killing more wildlife. Stench everywhere. |

I came here hoping to gwt some news and when I didn't see it, but I saw this thread I added my experience. My whole family are Lee County Natives. All you are doing is bashing people. Instead of the typo pokice, you are the disinfo police. Did you offer anything? Nope. Goodbye |

In fact, I said you should start your own thread because your information is valuable. |
