Separate from the article, he's also refusing to extend voter registration deadlines because of the storm unlike South Carolina. Today is still unfortunately Florida's voter registration deadline, make sure to register: https://vote.gov/register

This moment for De Santis will go down in history, I think he will largely be remembered for this single horrific moment as Milton slots into the breach, the US will at a national level be a meaningfully different place by the end of the week it is going to be so bad for Florida and elsewhere.

This youtube weather channel has good coverage on the quickly worsening situation with a possible cat 5 milton.

"worst case scenario" keeps coming up as a phrase

Ted Cruise fled to Cancun during the widespread power outages, and DeSantis refused phone calls with help for his state on the line.

there is literally no lower rung on the ladder of "loser" than "pathetic mass murderer"

Yup. Tampa Bay is looking at a major disaster on Wednesday and DeSatans is playing politics with it.

Ryan Hall can be very entertaining but there are much better and professional sources of information out there. My favorite is Tropical Tidbits (https://youtube.com/@tropical-tidbits)

Dr. Levi Cowan is my favorite source of storm information presented in a factual and level-headed manner. I whole-heartedly endorse Tropical Tidbits. I do not endorse Ron DeSantis.
