Misinformation spread online impedes rescue efforts.
I am watching Milton and waiting. We are very close to the Keys and Everglades, and I am considering where to evacuate TO. Right now the news is showing the path of Milton looking very broad, covering the entire peninsula. We are watching the Weather Channel and Accuweather, but most of the coverage is not about the new storm, but recovery efforts in NC. I hope everyone will be prepared for this if it turns into a powerful hurricane. I am sending prayers and asking that this storm slows down and harms none. Please join me.
@streaminglight I am in Naples, a few miles inland. I am caring for my elderly father (87) and our 2 dogs. I am from San Francisco, and I know how to prep for disasters like quakes and fires and so forth, but what the heck. We are so far down the Floridian peninsula, is there truly anywhere to evacuate to? The only thing I can figure to do is to check in with the neighbors here. I have a generator and a backup method of food prep and we have bottled water. I am very grateful the power lines are under ground around us. Maybe it's best to stay put where my father can remember where he is.
PS @KMAC. I had an impression of her the other day when I read about people wondering where/how she is after Helene. She was bawling her eyes out, and very shaken and scared, but alive. Sorry I wish I had better news. Hoping you all hear from your friend soon. I know she will be very glad you all sent her prayers. I dont read the future, but I get psychic impressions sometimes.
oops, may not be KMAC, but Kathleen from Ashville, NC. My apologies.
@westie The fact that you have a generator will be a big help if the power goes down. My sister has one and that's one reason I'm going to join her even though my house is five miles further inland than her's. It sounds like you have the food and water supplies necessary. It would help if you have impact windows or storm shutters you can put up. I've been through Irma, Ian, Debbie and several tropical storms since I arrived here in 2014. I suggest looking online for "spaghetti models" of Milton over the next few days. Keep an eye on the overall trajectory. The NHC Cone presently covers most of the peninsula but that will narrow. If you are near the Keys, it looks like you are outside the cone right now. But that doesn't mean it won't shift as it did with Ian. So -- unless you are told to evacuate with your Dad and 2 dogs, I'd say to hunker down and stay in close touch with your neighbors. Keep your phone and iPad charged. Friends of mine who live directly on the coastline in Bonita are staying put because they don't see any safe place to go. Others have friends on the east side of the peninsula they will stay with. You're not alone. We'll get through this together.
@kathleen I know you are out there.... I feel your Energy... your strength... your devastation and dismay... KNOW THIS!! We are here for you ... and all still struggling in the deadly aftermath. Sending all the Light,Love and Strength I can muster to you!!! Joining me are all of your community here as well as the angels we have invoked to render Divine Aid. May you be renewed by our Love and Intentions and may we hear from you soon. 🪽💜🪽🙌🪽💜🙏🏻
Hi everyone, I just heard from KMAC aka Kathleen who lives in Asheville and last posted here Thursday night worrying about the rain she was getting. She is OK. She said it was OK to share her message to me with you all:
“Hi Jeanne, how kind and thoughtful of you to reach out to me, and please pass along my well wishes to everyone. This is the first time I’ve had cell service in 10 days. We are fine, our house made it through intact. We live on high ground, so flooding wasn’t a problem, but we have 6 gigantic trees that slammed down all around us that night. We are still without power, but our neighborhood came together and is helping each other. This has been a lesson in community and gratitude. So many have suffered or lost members of their families and friends. Hope to be back on the website soon. Again, thank you for reaching out.“
@journeywithme2 She can't get the Internet yet, but I will share the caring post message you sent her.
@journeywithme2 - @KMAC loved your message and said she will get back with a reply when she can.
Good morning, all,
I’ve noticed that for the past 3 days there has been a lot more coverage in the MSM about the hurricane destruction and the people being affected by it. I was very angry by the lack of coverage on the hurricane aftermath, so I was relieved to finally see that begin to change a few days ago.
It occurred to me this morning that this probably has come about because of the disinformation being spread by TFG and his enablers. The disinformation has become a driving news story and as a result, more is being investigated and reported to educate the public with the facts and reality of the situation. The Washington Post had page 1 stories on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The sad part is had the MSM given this story the full and proper attention from the onset, the disinformation may not have spread so broadly and so rapidly. Yes, there would still be lies spread by the liar-in-chief, et al. But the MSM’s paltry initial coverage provided a vacuum where these lies could more easily take root and promulgate.
When will they — and we — ever learn?
And yet … in the midst of all that we’ve lost, witnessed and is yet to be revealed, I remain hopeful.
When I think of the communities coming together as many have shared, and the outpouring of generosity, courage and love they have demonstrated, I remain hopeful.
I heard José Andrés of World Central Kitchen being interviewed a few days ago in Asheville. When asked how much more work needs to be done, José replied “we’ll keep coming until you don’t need us anymore.”
José said, “in our worst moments of humanity, the best of humanity shows up.”
I agree with José. And I remain hopeful.
They are saying the water level will likely be much higher than Helene in Tampa and now there will be a ton of projectiles in the air due to all the collected debris lining the streets awaiting trash pick up. All the debris which will clog any sort of drain. It sounds like it will be extremely hazardous.
@lowtide did you evacuate yet?
How else is in the area?
Prayers for all. May you be protected and may you always find the light. Saying lots of prayers for everyone in Milton's path.
Aired before Milton became a 5.
