Florida looters arrested after scouring Fort Myers for valuables in Hurricane Ian aftermath
Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said, "For any of those individuals that think they are going to go out there and loot or prey on people during this horrific event — you better think twice. When I say zero tolerance, zero tolerance means we will hunt you down, track you down, and you’re going to jail. If you’re lucky."

In the wake of Hurricane Ian's devastation in Florida, looters have been arrested in Fort Myers after they went scouring for goods on Thursday. 

The New York Post reports that local Florida police apprehended the looters....

Did she actually admit that dispersion of government disaster relief money will be based on race?

Can this bitch be administered a congressional censure?

She is trying to say that Blacks were hurt more by the hurricane than Whites. Therefore Blacks deserve priority and more money than Whites. Somebody needs to scream in her face with a bullhorn, YOU ARE NOT BLACK! YOU ARE A HINDU INDIAN!!

Kamala grew up with more "White Privilege" and incarcerated more Black people than 95% of White people in America.

"Equity" is a euphemism for 21st century communism.  The real estate closest to sea level in SW Florida is typically middle class to wealthy, and overwhelmingly white.  It doesn't matter --- they were wiped out --- and they need the lion's share of any public funds devoted to relief.

Florida Gov. DeSantis warns those taking advantage of hurricane victims: 'We are a law and order state'
A Florida sheriff said that there will be 'swift incarceration immediately with no tolerance'

By Adam Sabes | Fox News

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a stern warning to those trying to take advantage of the victims of Hurricane Ian.

DeSantis made the comments Friday during a news conference in Fort Myers, Florida. He said that while visiting nearby Punta Gorda, he saw a boarded-up business with a sign that read, "You loot, we shoot."

"We are a law and order state, and this is a law and order community," DeSantis said. "So do not think that you're going to take advantage of people who've suffered misery."

"Don't even think about looting," he said during another press conference later in the day.

DeSantis added that people looking to "ransack people's homes" should beware: Florida is a Second Amendment state.

"I can tell you in the state of Florida, you never know what may be lurking behind somebody's home," he said. "And I would not want to chance that if I were you — given that we're a Second Amendment state."

Ian made landfall in Florida on Wednesday, and nearly 2 million people remained without power as of Friday afternoon.

The hurricane made landfall as a powerful Category 4 storm, with maximum sustained winds reaching 155 mph.

Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno also said that he "will not tolerate" anyone trying to take advantage of people suffering as a result of the storm's damage.

IIRC, it was "AGNES" that was the 'Big One' during my lifetime.

To see the muddy water levels on the buildings/lamp posts along the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania near Harrisburg...just unbelievable, the power of water.
I recall Agnes, from the perspective of one who lived in the So. MD tidewater. We were fine about 20' ASL, but I remember hauling a 14' Jon boat up the hill, inverted, holding on to the handles on the stern and the wind supported the boat. All I had to do was keep it level and walk, then dump the wind when I got where I wanted to put it.

Low lying areas were flooded out by the storm surge, and a guy I worked for (marine construction) later built a house in one of those areas, but the house was up on pilings to add about 15' ASL to the bottom of the joists, and the pilings were enclosed with plywood intended to break away should there be another storm. In good weather, that was the garage.
When a hurricane came, the vehicles were moved to higher ground and the storm would pound the panels loose, but the house rode it out with no problems.

A word about fire apparatus, too, since so many have commented on the pics of engines in about two feet of water: those, at least for rural departments in tidewater areas, are designed to still go just fine in up to 4 ft., depending on what the company called for when they ordered the engine built.

2.  1969- Camille in Mississippi and Louisiana
3.  1992- Andrew in Florida

Hits since 1992-  ZERO

If our utterly idiotic MSM wants to spread their false Climate Change narratives, they need to stop with the Hurricane examples.

The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office said that an Everbridge notification had been issued before 3 a.m. EDT indicating a possible levee break in the Hidden River community.

"The notification was issued countywide, which means all residents throughout Sarasota County who are registered with Everbridge likely received a warning," it said.

The leveee compromise appears to only impact homes on the east side of the community.

The compromise should not impact any other areas in Sarasota County, including Venice or North Port.

The office said it was working with county fire personnel to go door-to-door and advise residents of potential flooding.

"Residents are encouraged to consider evacuation," it added.

Hurricane Ian death toll in Lee County, Florida hits 35, sheriff says

Dozens of people have been reported dead in the wake of now-Post-Tropical Cyclone Ian.

Search and rescue operations in Florida continued amid the wreckage, while South Carolina began to assess damage.

Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno announced in a Facebook video on Saturday that there were 35 fatalities in his county.

"It's with a heavy heart that I say that number," he said.

The Associated Press had previously reported that at least 30 people had been confirmed dead due to the storm, including 27 people in Florida.

Three others were killed when Ian hit Cuba, knocking out power for the entire island.

While most of those deaths were from drowning, others were reported from the storm’s tragic aftereffects.

Authorities warned that the death toll would likely rise much higher.

Hurricane Ian has likely caused “well over $100 billion” in damage, including $63 billion in privately insured losses, according to the disaster modeling firm Karen Clark & Co.

If those numbers are borne out, that would make Ian at least the fourth costliest hurricane in America's history.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Joy Reid says DeSantis warning to looters in Ian’s aftermath is like racist threat from ‘segregationist’
DeSantis told looters, 'I would not want to chance that if I were you, given that we’re a Second Amendment state'
By Gabriel Hays | Fox News

    Taking to Twitter, MSNBC host Joy Reid bashed Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., for warning potential criminals against looting the evacuated homes of Hurricane Ian survivors in Florida, linking his statements to racist cops and politicians of the segregation era.

On Saturday, the host of MSNBC’s "The ReidOut" tweeted that DeSantis telling people not to loot and warning they might be shot by gun-carrying Floridians had the same tone as "segregationist Miami sheriff Walter E. Headley" infamously saying, "When the looting starts, the shooting starts" in the ’60s.

In addition, Reid’s tweet linked to an NPR article about the racist history, connecting it to vicious segregationists and anti-Black politicians such as Eugene "Bull" Conner. She mentioned how DeSantis’ words show he’s returned to that "form."

The number of confirmed fatalities from Hurricane Ian rose to at least 44, most of them in Lee County, Florida.

Florida District Medical Examiners report hurricane deaths to the Medical Examiners Commission (MEC) following an autopsy after confirming the death was storm-related.

Lee County bore the brunt of the Category 4 hurricane with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) confirming at least 30 deaths.

In addition, FDLE reported three deaths in Collier County and one in Hendry County.

Sarasota County has three confirmed deaths, while Manatee County had one person die.

In Lake County, one person died and in Volusia County, five deaths were attributed to Hurricane Ian. Authorities have not released the causes of death.

The death toll is expected to climb as floodwaters recede and search teams are able to reach areas initially cut off by the storm.

Joy Reid says DeSantis warning to looters in Ian’s aftermath is like racist threat from ‘segregationist’
Basically, then, Joy Reid is confirming she's a racist who believes all looters are black?

DeSantis: Elon Musk positioning Starlink satellites to support FL in wake of Hurricane Ian devastation
October 2, 2022 | Kevin Haggerty

Billionaire Elon Musk once again put his money where his mouth is after chiding Vice President Kamala Harris for her politicization of hurricane relief by stepping up in a big way for the people of Florida.

Hundreds of thousands were without power following the devastation wrought by Hurricane Ian throughout Southwest Florida and as a result, many remained incapable of obtaining vital information for lack of internet access. As a result, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) announced Saturday that the state is working with Musk and his company SpaceX to alleviate that problem as another measure to aid residents in need.

“They’re positioning the Starlink satellites to provide good coverage in Southwest Florida and other effected areas,” Desantis said during a press conference, where he explained the satellite communications company would be taking on some of the financial burden as well.

I haven't heard anything from my father in Venice, FL (Sarasota County).  I'm hoping he went north and stayed with his brother in Crystal River.

DeSantis pushes back on CNN reporter's question about late Lee County evacuation order: 'Where were you?'
DeSantis tells Nadia Romero media was stationed in Tampa before Hurricane Ian's track shifted south
By Lindsay Kornick | Fox News

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized CNN after being questioned on Lee County not having a mandatory evacuation for Hurricane Ian until the day before the storm hit.

CNN correspondent Nadia Romero spoke with the Republican governor on Sunday in Acadia, near some of the most affected areas in southwest Florida. Since Hurricane Ian made landfall in the state on Wednesday, media reports have criticized Lee County’s decision to not issue a mandatory evacuation order until Tuesday.

Romero took this question to DeSantis directly asking, "Why do you stand behind Lee County’s decision to not have that mandatory evacuation until the day before the storm?"

"Well, where was your industry stationed when the storm hit?" DeSantis replied. "Were you guys in Lee County? No, you were in Tampa."

DeSantis explained that many reports days prior to the storm did not show Lee County, which includes Cape Coral, Fort Myers and Sanibel Island, within the range of Hurricane Ian, leading many citizens to make their own decisions up to 48 hours before landfall. However, he reiterated that more attention was given to Tampa, likely leading people to hesitate on evacuating.

"But I think part of it was, so much attention was paid to Tampa, a lot of them thought they wouldn’t get the worst of it but they did, and I think it is easy to second-guess them. But they were ready for it the whole time and made that call when [it] was justifiable to do so," DeSantis said.

Romero continued to remark that neighboring counties to Lee County issued mandatory evacuation orders earlier.

It has been a funny pic for 10 years, and it is still funny today.

The dems are going to claim not enough notice was given to people east of landfall.  Basically they want DeSantis to pick a fight with local officials during a rescue/recovery effort.  If there is a scandal, it is that the European model outperformed our government model, as it normally does.  One would expect our government to have the best grasp of atmospheric conditions on this side of the planet.
