The article is as expected from the WaPo. BUT, The comments to the article are incredible. I knew TDS was real but I've never seen such hatred. I know first-hand what is going on in Mexico Beach, FL and surrounding areas. People are not complaining but helping each other rebuild their homes and lives. The Liberal hatred for these people is simply disgusting.

Thanks for posting this and warning us.

My tagline seems to be appropriate here.

You can take the highway west from Port Arthur, TX (I believe it’s 73) and still see incredible debris and damage from hurricane Rita which happened in 2005.

So government is responsible for fixing problems caused by natural events. Next thing, they’ll be blaming Trump for the storm. Wait! They already did!

Similar to the Katrina coverage. The little MS town of Waveland was virtually wiped off the map. Coverage-———pretty poor. Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian and parts of Gulfport too. Had the storm not turned when it did and gone west of New Orleans, there wouldn’t be much left of the Big Easy.

It’s weird as hell to name hurricanes with man names. That’s the real concern to me.

We went through Hurricane Andrew in Miami; worked relief afterwards. Normally, the heavily Latin/New York influenced drivers were - how shall I put it - less than genteel. Hurricane hits; all changes. As if by magic traffic flows, then stops to allow cross traffic. Rinse. Repeat. “After you!” “No, no - after YOU!”. Stunning.

People swarm the streets, hauling off tree trunks, debris, downed (inert)power lines. Chain saws appear out of nowhere.

Worked the relief effort in the Panhandle, too. Same “get ‘r done” spirit. Sorry, MSM, but most of the world is not populated with gibs-me-dats waiting for the Gummn’t to rescue them.

Hurricane Michael? Wow, I didn’t know they named a hurricane after Obamas husband.

Hmmmm. Catastrophic damage is not totally repaired after 6 months. Shocking.

The nation has been hit with a lot of natural disasters. Puerto Rico, I get it, there is a corruption problem. For the rest of the nation, we have to get our priorities in order. Stop blowing things up overseas and stop engineering regime change. Redirect those resources into getting necessary infrastructure and disaster repair done in the US.

Hurricanes happen on the coastlines of the world. They should be accepted as part of living and working there. Relocate if you can’t/won’t rebuild after a storm.

See, the people up on the north, up past the black hole on the east coast of FL of Key West-Miami-Palm Beach Broward County, do not have the right color, the right party, the right community organizer, the right religion to be promoted by the WashPo.

“People are not complaining but helping each other rebuild their homes and lives.”

That’s the way it seems all these natural disasters end up. Some folks get out and rebuild and help others rebuild and some just sit with their hands out demanding the government rebuild for them.

I have a cousin who owns a lakefront house at least
somewhat in the path of Hurricane Michael. He was
working on the Great Lakes at the time Michael
blasted through. I called his cell phone from NorCal
not knowing he was away from Florida so he had no
idea if his house had sustained damage. When he reached
home he learned of downed trees but no house damage.
Meanwhilem here on the West Coast 2 other cousins
(brothers) simultaneously had their 2K acre ranch
sitting in the path of California’s largest forest
fire (no, not the Paradise ‘Camp Fire’) which had
started as two separate fires which burned together
to form one fire near Clear Lake. That fire missed
my cousins’ place by less than a mile. We all
figured that Someone was trying to send our family
a message.

I am not in the panhandle but you are right. This is the fake news searching for TDS. DeSantis is working with DC to help where appropriate, and the folk in north Florida are hearty men and women, not whiners.
