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.

A bunch of crews from a utility here in the PNW apparently just convoyed to FL Sunday/Monday.

It’s an ongoing effort.

Some are already joking about cheap property deals in FL.

Aggravating.

I won’t click the link. Stuff like that just makes me understand why God didn’t have Noah build a larger ark.

In America Are NOT In The NFL”

“Some are already joking about cheap property deals in FL.”

The Wall St Journal had a big article yesterday about how soft the FL real estate market is.
This hurricane will add to it
