#Hurricane #Florida #Dwell
It's funny how DeSantis slammed Biden with immigrants by bus or air paid for by Florida taxpayers, but Biden whose always lived up to his oath of office will help Florida out after the hurricane. DeSantis begged for help. I'm sure he wishes he had that money back now. He'll be getting it. What a flip-flop. Vote for Democracy, not Trumpocracy in November..
No power or water in Sarasota and no information. But the mail came. We need the president to help
this was before Desantis became socialist…
Best Governor of our time. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Let's Go Ian !!!
The lord works in mysterious ways Mr DeSantis… You now need everybody’s help, not just mega Republicans.
WOW! Folks leaving to escape possible death and destruction, because of circumstances out of their control. 🤔…….Stay safe, folks!
Hey, why didn't the governor charter 100 planes to save Florida citizens?? He cares about citizens more than immigrants right??
This ones gonna be a bad one cat 4 nearly 5 and slow moving. Micheal was at least a fast mover and didn't stay over one area for more than four hours. Still a nightmare but these slow ones , or what I call a marinating hurricane. they are the worst.
Prayers for all your safety. Here in Ohio.🙏🏼😪
This your punishment DeSantis for sending immigrants north without permission and causing them unnecessary suffering
God bless all the people in Florida,i pray for you here in germany
Governor DeSantis is quite the assest to Florida. Just imagine what he could do if he were President of the US.
Welcome to climeate change baby. This is the first, not the last of major storms to begin hitting the west side. We haven’t been hit like this in 100 years
Does anyone find it even remotely strange a hurricane would hit the east coast of Florida in a hundred years? Right after Florida governor sent illegal aliens to democrat cities? These people are using weather manipulation to attack Americans.
Ugh not looking forward to this. Love to all my fellow Floridians ✌️❤️🇺🇸
Moving at 10 mi an hr??? The thing hasn't moved all night…
Desatan Another republican loser.
Vote blue y'all!!
surprised he didnt say something like: "the hurricane is attacking florida for god, because liberal disney promotes the gay mexican satanism agenda."
Best governor!
Since Ron DeSantos conceivably may run for president);
This hurricane is completely Ron DeSantos’ fault! If anyone dies in the storm the blood is going to be on his hands. This Florida governor promised only a category four storm and now it looks like a category five! He lied! And as late as yesterday he was still lying about where the hurricane was going to strike. He has not spent nearly enough money educating and preparing his state for a major hurricane strike. This is his Katrina, because he’s a Republican!
There you go! I just thought I’d give everyone a little preview of what you’re about to hear in the next few days…
treated like a tornado? 🤯
I hope Desantis is as good as responding to this hurricane as he is as terrorizing LGBTQ kids. He disgusts me.
Praying for the Southeast
Hunkering down on a little island in Florida now. Gonna be an interesting few days. But hey, if things go terribly wrong, maybe that last president aka Chester Cheater, will come throw some paper towels at us
🙏 Florida from Alabama!!! ❤️ Florida!!!! Christmas in Key West is the best!!!
He hates federal govt but will be begging for federal money to rebuild his pitiful state. I live in alabama and will never visit or spend another alabama dollar in that state. Elect idiots lose tourism. My jew favorite beach is gulf shores here in alabama, later florida.
Give the gov a minute. He is packing his bags for Martha's vinyard. Him and Donnie gonna go hang in a hot tub till the storm passes
