Fifty-one Florida counties are under a state of emergency ahead of Hurricane Milton, which is now a major Category 5 storm barreling down on the West Coast of the state.
“It became a hurricane very quickly,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said during a morning update at the State Emergency Operations Center.
“And so not only is it a hurricane, it’s already a major hurricane, and it’s now a category four hurricane with maximum sustained winds at 150 miles per hour, it is expected to make landfall on the west coast of Florida sometime between Wednesday evening or perhaps even very early on Thursday,” DeSantis said during the morning update, noting that this storm has moved slower than the initial projections.
“If that continues, it’s going to push back when landfall will happen. Of course, you can see impacts prior to the eye wall making landfall. We have made a pre-landfall declaration request to FEMA for support … and we anticipate positive approval on that,” he said, noting that 51 counties in the Sunshine State are under a state of emergency. Those include:

Floridians will not be left to drown and die as North Carolinians have been. They couldn’t have a better governor than Ron DeSantis.
For all those who attacked him, this is how a real Gov runs a state.
Praying every favor and every blessing upon Governor DeSantis’ life, family, legacy. May he personally be rewarded richly for his efforts. As well as all serving under his leadership who do not get the credit they deserve. Or whose efforts are taken for granted.
Prayers for all in the path of the storm.
“For all those who attacked him, this is how a real Gov runs a state.”
Compare this response to the clown governor of North Carolina.
Its 175 mph right now Category 5..even though it will diminish damn that thing is MASSIVE..prayers for everyone in Florida
THIS is why it is good that Governor DiSantis was not presidential nominee. Florida needs him! (I am not even in Florida but wanted him to stay for that reason.)
Yes, he is. Before Helene hit he had Florida Power trucks staged and ready to go. Our power was out for a grand total of 3 hours.
During Beryl, our governor was in Asia trying to bequeath Texas Enterprise Fund money to foreign companies to open up in Texas. Rumor has it he made a couple of calls home to get updates on the situation, or at least how to shift blame to CenterPoint.
“ For all those who attacked him, this is how a real Gov runs a state.”
Which is why many of us said DeSantis needs 4 more years as Governor.
most recognize the difference between being a governor and a presidential candidate running against Trump.
America doesn’t have a president.
North Carolina doesn’t have a governor.
My Florida thank God, has a governor.
Prayers for all in the path of this storm.
