DeSantis and his white princess boots

LOL. DeSantis can prove his mettle by laughing with people instead of getting angry.

Mature, confident people can take ribbing. Pussified, spineless weasels blame others for attacking them.

We certainly have more than our share of those types both in politics and here. :rofl2:

And here is the latest on Ian's destruction.
Ian made landfall Sept. 28 in the Fort Myers area as a Category 4 hurricane. The ferocious 150-mph winds pushed ashore feet of water from the Gulf of Mexico that tore through homes and businesses along the coast.
The following day, Ian crossed the Florida Peninsula diagonally and dumped flooding rain on the interior and blew in storm surge along the opposite coast from where it made landfall.
Ian made a third and final U.S. landfall in South Carolina two days after slamming into Florida.
The scope of the disaster is still coming into focus more than a week after the storm made landfall. Here are some numbers that reveal the magnitude of Hurricane Ian’s impact.
More than 100 deaths
The death toll from Hurricane Ian continues to mount as search and rescue operations proceed. More than 100 deaths have been reported as of Friday morning.
Most of the fatalities have been reported in Florida, specifically in Lee County. That’s where popular barrier islands like Pine Island and Sanibel Island were wrecked by storm surge and powerful wind as Ian came ashore, cutting them off from the mainland and complicating rescue operations.
Five storm-related deaths were reported in North Carolina, and one was reported in Virginia.
According to the United Nations, three people died in Cuba as Hurricane Ian tore across the western tip of the island.
At least 2,500 rescues
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday that at least 2,500 people have been rescued as search-and-rescue teams continue to go door-to-door, looking for survivors.
About 90,000 structures have been searched, according to DeSantis.
At least 13 million power outages
Ian caused catastrophic damage to Florida’s power grid. In the immediate aftermath, outages climbed to more than 2.5 million in the state.
There has been a steady improvement in that number in the week since Hurricane Ian hit as power crews are able to finally reach the most-devastated parts of the region. Officials at Florida Power and Light, which services most of the area impacted by Hurricane Ian, said they expect to have most customers outside the hardest-hit areas restored by the end of Friday.
Including the entire path of the storm, power outages during Ian likely added up to at least 13 million. Cuba experienced an island-wide blackout when Ian tore across the western side of the island. The Carolinas reported thousands of outages when Ian made its final landfall Sept. 30.

4 landfalls
Hurricane Ian was being watched long before it made a run at the U.S.
It started as a tropical disturbance east of the Caribbean and was given a name once it reached tropical-storm status north of the so-called ABC islands near South America.
It became a hurricane as it turned north and took aim at the western tip of Cuba, where it made its first landfall Sept. 27.
Ian’s intensity grew as it exited Cuba and moved over the Gulf of Mexico and toward Florida.
The storm made its second overall landfall and first U.S. landfall Sept. 28 on Cayo Costa island off the coast of Southwest Florida. About 90 minutes later, Ian made a second U.S. landfall and third overall near Punta Gorda, Florida.
Ian weakened as it moved across the Florida Peninsula and exited the state Sept. 29. However, it regained hurricane strength in the Atlantic as it turned toward the Southeastern U.S.
The final landfall for Hurricane Ian happened Sept. 30 near Georgetown, South Carolina. That marked the third U.S. landfall of the storm and fourth overall.
150-mph winds
While a post-storm analysis will determine the actual wind speeds that tore apart Southwest Florida, the National Hurricane Center estimated Hurricane Ian had winds of at least 150 mph when it made its first U.S. landfall on Cayo Costa island. About 90 minutes later, when Ian made landfall on mainland Florida, winds had decreased slightly to 145 mph, according to the NHC.
Ian had winds of 85 mph when it made its final landfall in South Carolina on Sept. 30.
10+ inches of rain over 3,500 square miles
An analysis by the Weather Prediction Center found that Hurricane Ian dumped 10 or more inches of rain across 3,500 square miles of Florida on Sept. 28, the day of landfall. That equates to a little more than 5% of the entire state.
Ian ranks as the third-highest coverage of 10-plus inches of rain in a 24-hour period from a tropical system since 2005, according to the WPC. Only Hurricane Harvey in 2017 outranks Ian.

At least 7 feet of storm surge
The NHC will conduct a post-storm analysis of storm surge to determine the real height of the water pushed ashore by Hurricane Ian. In the meantime, we can use gauges that were reporting during the storm to get a rough idea of how high the water got.
The highest gauge reading known right now is at least 7.21 feet of storm surge in Fort Myers. That broke the previous record surge of 3.36 feet during Hurricane Gabrielle in 2001.
Records were also broken in Naples and Key West, where the surge reached at least 6.18 feet and 4.27 feet, respectively.
DeSantis said he received reports of at least 12 feet of storm surge, which seems possible given the forecast called for 12-18 feet of storm surge in the Fort Myers area.

This is not saying one is worse than the other. What many fail to realize is that Hurricane building codes are much stricter in Florida than they are in the northeast.

Evidently you hate the military as my post didn't address the subject of Dukakis wearing a helmet and you compared it too unacceptable. BTW 24 yrs in uniform says fuck you.

Incredible. I'm not sure if that is correct though about building codes in the NE; they do get ferocious nor'easters frequently.

I recall at least one RWNJ here saying that Cuba had deaths from Ian because they "don't have the building codes we have in Florida," as they predicted that Ian would be a nothingburger that was being over-hyped by the media. Yet we have at least 30 times the death toll that Cuba had.

I've already donated to the Red Cross and Salvation Army. If you run across any other worthwhile groups that need help pls let us know.

I acknowledge that private companies have the right to monitor and curtail certain things on their public platforms. They are neither democrat or republican; they are private entities and not the government.

Why is it so hard for Reichtards to understand the difference between a private company forbidding certain activities by its users on its site, and the government telling you what you can or cannot say publicly?
