I'm just sitting here - safe in Florida - and feeling guilty ...oh so guilty ... that I'm relieved we are not in the path of #HurricaneMelissa !
PLEASE help #Jamaica any way you can! They will not be able to handle this without much monetary help!
Please remember that this one is stronger than #HurricaneKatrina when it hit #NewOrleans and much stronger than #HurricaneMilton when it hit us here last year.
Pray for those who can't get out of her way!
Hurricane Milton 🌪️ The Most Dangerous Storm of the Year Strikes Florida 🌊
If you've been following me for a while, you know storms have been a recurring theme for me. As a lifelong Gulf Coast resident, tropical storms are a fact of life, and taking preparedness seriously serves you well, not just for these more frequent extreme weather events, but for other inevitable per

Feeling a bit despondent today.
Because of the hurricanes, I can't work in my office because there is mold remediation happening in the building.
Because of the hurricanes, we have to remove an 80 year old oak tree that is leaning toward our house, one that will almost certainly crush half of our house in another hurricane.
So I have to witness the massacre of this great tree while I try to work from home. It is snowing sawdust. Chainsaws groan and scream. Loud thuds let me know every bough that is felled. It really sucks to be responsible for the dismantling of a great tree. I feel like we should be dismantling the house instead.
Imagine if elon used his obscene wealth to help ppl instead of hurting them. So many ppl are suffering but instead of doing something good in the world, he's focused on destroying democracy & attacking trans ppl.
Here are the stories of the ppl impacted by the devastating tornadoes that preceded #HurricaneMilton in FL.
So many natural disasters just in the last year. Fires, mudslides, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods💔
