Hurricane Ian “Fatalities in the hundreds” according to Lee County Sherriff Carmine Marceno

Just last week, my wife was lobbying for a winter trip to Sanibel to see the birds and shells. She visited it with her sister some 25 years ago. One thing she remembered clearly was that it was about 3 feet above sea level... and they had a massive storm surge yesterday.
I guess many new residents of FL did not realize the power of a hurricane and decided to stay instead of evacuating.
Sorry to bring up the political, but my guess is der Bidenfuhrer is to feeble and vindictive to take command of the Florida rescue.
The blame bubbles up to the nearest Republican.
Bush/Katrina. The blame bypassed all the democrats in office and was attributed to Bush.
For this hurricane, the blame will stop at DeSantis, because he’s a Republican and the media hates him with a passion already.
Everything has been politicized, in this once-great country, even the weather.
Anyone living in Florida not getting out of the way of a Cat4 huricane, well, not to smart. We knew this was coming two weeks ago. All one has to do is drive north 3 or 4 hours and life is safe.
Any fatality who failed to evacuate the coast and move at least several miles inland is guilty of suicide.
Hmm, after Katrina worthless Ray Nagin was on TV blathering about more than 10, 000 fatalities. I would take the sheriff’s hammy or hysterical posturing with a grain of salt.
And yes, I got the response when I said no one should trust Nagin or any of the poor excuses for officialdom of Orleans Parish with ‘well he should know’ responses. Not really, at this point no one has a good estimate. All that is known is the worthless media whores will be swarming in anxious for cheap bathos to inflate.
The media coverage of the hurricane’s aftermath won’t be official until we are treated to the spectacle of Shep Smith and Geraldo Rivera screaming at each other on the air about people eating each other in the Superdome. :-P
That boob goobernor in Kaintuck made the same outlandish prediction after they were raked by overnight F4s last December. Total was less than 75.
Standing by to rescue my brother and his wife. They were in Naples when the storm hit. His truck is in a garage, and he does not know if his truck is in one piece.
They were moved from their hotel to a shelter last night because of damage to the hotel.
Hopefully, his truck is one piece to get across alligator alley to Lauderdale. If not, I will load up my jeep and give them a ride home.
Time for the Coasties.
Anyone monitoring DU?
I can only imagine the hate they’re spewing today.
I’m just not seeing that. The news helicopters are going over the areas and I’m just not seeing 150/190 MPH wind and gust damage. On “devastated” Sanibel Island most trees remain standing, and the houses look untouched. Even the boat docks and storage look untouched.
I don’t see damage anywhere close to Michael’s.
They will blame DeSantis (as a Trump surrogate).

WHY didn’t they LEAVE???
