Hurricane Ian update

[Fe.Ta 874]

Has anybody looked into the Hurricane Ian with USCIS? I am trying to see if I can get the money back, since I was charged a few days before it hit and I incurred unexpected expenses.  Their website is offering waivers on fees, but I can’t get more info.

Define "unexpected expenses" please?

DeSantis Flashes His Alpha-Dog Energy in Meeting With Diminished Biden

 

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis met with President Biden in Florida on Wednesday for a flyover of the devastated area and a meet-and-greet with survivors of Hurricane Ian.  The two shook hands upon meeting and conversed for several minutes.  Well, that’s not wholly accurate.  DeSantis spoke, and Joe Biden mostly listened.  [...]

So 11 days, and they are down to around 17k customers without power.  Seems pretty fast.

Oops!

 

This is so true of Democrats and their voters.

 

As Hurricane Ian churned toward Florida, Townhall reported on numerous Democrats and mainstream media outlets that were hoping for the worst in Florida as a way to tear down DeSantis — as if he controlled the path of hurricanes — rather than praying for the best for their fellow Americans in the Sunshine State.

of course it is fast - republicans are in charge.
if the democrats were in charge, they first have hearings to see if trump was responsible for the hurricane.

This morning's news said 2200 without power in Cape Coral.  No power to Pine Island or Sanibel, but those areas are exceptional.  Don't know of anyone here in Naples without power.  They did say there were some homes they were not restoring power to as they were so badly damaged.  Also don't anticipate full power restoration to Ft. Myers Beach anytime soon.  That area is devastated.  

 

Years ago I had a friend that lived on Ft. Myers beach, right on the beach.  Visited and stayed there several times.  Saw the NOAA pictures and noticed that house, built in 1938, was gone.  Hurricane took it and the 4 surrounding houses.

It is worth noting that there are two power companies serving areas that were hit by the hurricane.  Where I am in Naples (Collier Co) we are serviced by FPL (Florida Power and Light) and to the north, Ft. Myers and Cape Coral (Lee Co) are served mostly by LCEC (Lee County Electric Co-Op).  FPL was very efficient and worked very hard to restore power with assistance from emergency crews from outside our area.  Initially LCEC refused outside help and thus were very slow at restoration.  Governor DeSantis heard about this and was critical of LCEC encouraging them to take on more help to restore power more quickly.

Despite the attempts by the leftinistas (and notably CNN)to politicize the tragic event, DeSantis and his people actually managed the crisis very well.

Notice how the slime have quieted down considerably in their efforts.

Positive results have consequences!
