And thank you for your news.

Mine (or my sons') is a double wide mobile home, too.

The unnecessary deaths in Ft. Myers, Cape Coral and especially Ft. Myers Beach, I attribute to Ron DeSantis' bad judgment and delayed decision to evacuate him, long after the National Hurricane Center showed where the cone would hit. Even I saw that by Sunday, and Biden had sent the aid the previous Thursday, so that DS could afford to do the evacs early.

His people are putting out stories about government employees looting houses, etc. It's all noise to deflect right wing media from focusing on DS's performance before Ian hit.

There's a lot of suffering in this state, with its leaders always absent (Rubio didn't even show up for the disaster aid vote, and Scott voted NO) or anti-voter in their votes. And these leaders are hoping people will be too worn down, and give up GOTV in Nov.

Congrats on getting off relatively light. My only question is, "Why Dothan?" Chainfire Oct 2022 #37

Thank you, Chainfire. Why? Because it's the closest not-FL place I could get away from the cone path ancianita Oct 2022 #41

Ok, I had to ask, because no one goes to Dothan if they can help it! ;) Chainfire Oct 2022 #44

That's why even HC Ian said, "He** NO, I ain't going to Dothan." TigressDem Oct 2022 #45

I hear you. Though AL is pretty state, even tho' its leadership is ugly. Nice town, nice folks there ancianita Oct 2022 #46

It does have some saving graces. I shop there three of four times a year. Chainfire Oct 2022 #50
