My family in Polk were devastated from Irma. No one gave a d@mn about them either. They really suffered. My brother in GVL took a generator and food, water, gas, ice, etc to them. It was a long drive with so many power lines and debris all over the place. The NHC made me pretty upset with them. They acted like these people didn’t matter a hill of beans. It was a bad month or two after that storm.
A lot of people suffer from hurricanes. My brother and sister rode out the hurricane in 2018 only to find out they had no power, water or cell service and rain coming through their roofs. People care but your family has priority.
