Ron DeSantis: Florida Now Has ‘Largest Staging of Utility Workers and Linemen in Advance of the Storm’ in U.S. History
Breitbart ^ | 10/09/2024 | Hannah Knudsen

Over 50,000 linemen — the “largest staging of utility workers and linemen in advance of the storm any time in American history” — will respond to Hurricane Milton, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Wednesday as the massive Category 4 storm barrels down on the Sunshine State.

In a Wednesday morning update, DeSantis walked through some of the preparations the state has taken ahead of the storm, which is expected to make landfall late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning on the west coast of Florida, potentially south of Tampa, although wiggles and wobbles are certain.

“Hurricane Milton is heading our way. It will arrive either late tonight or early tomorrow morning. We are bracing and are prepared to receive a major hit. We’re facing this with the seriousness it deserves, but also with the determination that we will get through this,” DeSantis said, making it clear that first responders are prepared to respond to Hurricane Milton.

It’s refreshing to have a Governor who knows what he’s doing.

Fingers crossed that the storm somehow becomes a lot less than catastrophic. It will break the hearts of liberals everywhere.

Yeah, but didn’t you hear that Harris will be sitting in with Joe for a hurricane briefing today. I can only imagine this being turned into a large photo op for her faltering campaign.

Having been through two devastating hurricanes, I remember well the boys from Indiana who came down to NC and restored my power in 1996 and 1999.

Should Commie-la be invited to lead the crews and make wire salad out of substation?

Just as Rudy was “America’s Mayor”, Ron is “America’s Governor”.

Doing a good job and trying to make his way to become President which is fine with me.

It just wasn't time this time.

The rest of us are bracing for the storm of the last millennia and hoping it does not happen, hurricane kablabla.

The most disgraceful administration since Obama. Perhaps even more incompetent.

Biden/Harris just did a press conference on Milton trying to take full credit for all that DeSantis has done to prepare.

I was even more impressed by the CONVOY of GASOLINE tanker trucks ESCORTED by FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL-—INBOUND to the storm area so people can keep getting fueled to get out.

THAT IS :
