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!

"#UniversalSuicide": An imprisoned #ClimateActivist on why the fight for the planet still matters
#JustStopOil cofounder Roger Hallam spoke with Salon about overcoming climate despair and taking action
By Matthew Rozsa
Staff Writer
October 24, 2024"Many people don’t need something as dramatic as #HurricaneMilton to tell them our climate is spiraling out of control. It’s evident everywhere, from the U.K. recently reporting its second worst #harvest on record to #Antarctica turning green to the U.S. spending $150 billion a year on climate change-related #ExtremeWeather events.
"But this isn’t some mysterious crisis. We know #FossilFuel companies are responsible for the emissions heating the globe. But instead of fixing it, these corporations have lied to the public, bribed politicians and sowed distrust in science. Meanwhile, governments are giving more money than ever to fossil fuel companies via subsidies, with a record $7 trillion cashed out to #BigOil in 2022.
"Some climate activist groups would like to bring your attention to this issue. But they are often arrested and get the book thrown at them when they demonstrate. Climate activist Roger Hallam knows this all too well, as he serves a five-year prison sentence for #BlockingTraffic — and, as he explained to Salon, his plight is a warning to Americans who vote for politicians that deny climate science.
"Hallam, who described himself as a #PoliticalPrisoner, was incarcerated for his role in leading and participating in an anti-climate change demonstration in November 2022. For four days, Hallam and more than three dozen other activists climbed a gantry and thereby blocked traffic in London’s critically important #M25 motorway."

Well, insurance adjuster came. They took photos of damaged garage and everything that was destroyed in #HurricaneMilton .
Said we'd hear from them again ~Wednesday. Here's hoping. Tired of a hole through my garage and a garage door that doesn't close. 😳
-
This may seem like a small thing to some, but when our garage failed during #HurricaneMilton, we took everything out of the damage - like one does. One of the most expensive things in our garage was our #Christmas Tree. It was over $400... one of those pre-lit things that does all the LED light dancing...
After we thoroughly dried it out, 1/2 the lights are out. And you can't replace them. It's not like replacing a light string.
Lesson: Think twice before buying pre-lit.
Learned... 😢

"#HurricaneMilton was a massive rainmaker — overflowing canals, rivers and lakes and flooding homes and neighborhoods from North Tampa to Orlando.
#ClimateChange almost certainly made Milton’s deluge worse, scientists found in a new post-hurricane analysis — by perhaps 20 to 30 percent. Its findings don’t bode well for #Florida’s future."

I haven't gone one night since #HurricaneMilton without waking up with cold sweats - panic stricken - from a nightmare having to do with that #hurricane!
This is not normal for me. I don't obsess over earthquakes, fires, or hurricanes normally. Hey! I lived in California. Fires and earthquakes were monthly events. I even made it through #HurricaneIan without this kind of problem! 😳

Snow falls on #NorthCarolina's 'forgotten' mountain towns after #HurricaneHelene
Some mountain towns in North Carolina are still in the dark after Hurricane Helene. And now, cold temperatures and snow are coming.
By Jesse Ferrell
Published Oct 15, 2024"Winterlike weather has come early and will leave western North Carolina residents shivering, including thousands still without power nearly three weeks after Hurricane Helene. Tuesday night, light snow fell above 3,000 feet in elevation at Maggie Valley, Waynesville, and at the Beech Mountain, Cataloochee, and Appalachian Mountain ski areas.
"Snow also likely fell at the top of Mount Mitchell Tuesday night. The mountain is still without power, and its webcam and weather station have been offline since Helene hit on Sept. 27.
"Nearly three weeks ago, Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida and went on to cause record flooding in the southern Appalachians. At least 232 people were killed by the storm. The storm knocked out power to 4.8 million customers. Although most power has been restored, for the last week, the number of homes and businesses still in the dark has remained steady at around 15,000 in three mountain counties in North Carolina, according to PowerOutage.US.
"Most of those still without power are in Mitchell County and Yancey County, home to Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi River, nestled halfway between Asheville and Boone. Each county still has one-third of customers in the dark.
"AccuWeather Regional Expert John Feerick says the first truly cold air of the season will continue to plunge southward through the Appalachians this week. Frost and freeze alerts are in effect for most of the state's western counties.
"Asheville's flooding made most of the headlines, but the mountain town of Boone, in Wautagua County, was left almost completely without power and 'almost unrecognizable' after #HurricaneMilton, one resident told WXII last weekend. Citizens are worried that they will be forgotten.
"WataugaOnline said Monday that a curfew was still in effect for Boone and Blowing Rock overnight, and parts of the county 'have a great deal of road work, power restoration, and debris removal ongoing.'
"Snow after a hurricane is unusual but not rare. Some hurricanes, such as #HurricaneSandy, have even caused snow in the southern Appalachians."

" Citizens Property Insurance Corp., the state-backed nonprofit home insurance company was set up to be an #insurer of last resort for those who can’t find coverage in the private market. Citizens is by far the largest provider in [#Florida].
But now, with #HurricaneHelene and #HurricaneMilton both making landfall in Florida within just days of each other, the insurer will almost certainly have to pay out billions of dollars in claims.
Can Citizens stay afloat? "

#SeminoleTribe gets federal disaster declaration for #HurricaneMilton
October 11, 2024
Story by Dianna Hunt, Indian Country Today (ICT)"President Joe Biden has issued an emergency disaster declaration for the Seminole Tribe of Florida for recovery and relief efforts from damage wrought by #HurricaneMilton, which brought #rain, #tornadoes, #flooding and high winds as it moved across Central Florida after making landfall late Wednesday.
"The declaration, released Tuesday, Oct. 8, will allow the Federal Emergency Management Agency [#FEMA] to coordinate disaster relief efforts with the tribe and will provide funding to help with recovery, according to the declaration.
"It is the fourth emergency declaration for the Seminole Tribe in the last four years, including declarations for hurricanes Nicole and Ian in 2022 and for the pandemic from 2020-2023.
"A statement from the White House said that Biden administration officials had also been in touch with the #MiccosukeeTribe of Indians of Florida, the only other federally recognized tribe in the state. The tribe had not received a disaster declaration as of Thursday, though the tribe did receive a declaration in 2022 for Hurricane Nicole.
"Both Seminole and Miccosukee lands were in the path of Hurricane Milton, which made landfall from the Gulf of Mexico south of Tampa, Florida, and quickly moved across the center of the state before exiting into the Atlantic Ocean.
"The extent of the damage to the tribal areas has not been clear, though news reports indicated a tornado was spotted near the Miccosukee Service Plaza, a popular stop for food, bathrooms, and gas on the highway that stretches from Miami to Naples." [I've been there a few times as a youngster...]
