Florida residents who choose to ride out Helene told to write name, information on arm. Here are the details
One Florida county has a message for residents who are choosing to ride out Hurricane Helene.Haley Coomes (ClickOrlando | Orlando, Florida News, Local Headlines | WKMG News 6")
Morning, friends and neighbors from #asheville. Up with no power, wifion battery so taking advantage and saving the phone. Over 10” of rain, and the somewhat sheltered weather station is under-estimating the wind which is currently vigorous. No problems else, that I can see. Forgot to bring out something decent for breakfast so…. Warmish coffee. Hoping everyone ok.
Huge numbers of people in these states without power.

For those who don't understand how Americans relate a waffle restaurant to weather events:
Waffle House restaurants are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They do NOT close for ANY reason except impending catastrophe.
So when Waffle House reports that all locations in a city have been closed due to weather, that area is most likely fucked after the storm is over.
I do not want to hear one GOP member bitching and moaning about social programs during the November elections when Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, etc (at a MINIMUM) are ALL gonna get #HurricaneHelene FEMA help in the coming days.
Not one damned word! Not One! You HEAR ME, DeSantis, Kemp, Huckabee-Sanders, Ivey, Lee, etc? 🤬
