It’s scary how many of these huge storms we get every year now. No telling what it will look like 10-15 yers down the line at the pace we are going.
Climate change is debatable, so I am not going to harp on that.
But the tangible issue is the interstate system for people on the Gulf Coast, between Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
It is a bottleneck to I-10 whether you are in Mississippi, Alabama, or the Florida Panhandle. This sh*t is ridiculous and I am sick and tired of people not handle their elected officials accountable. Our two senators and Steven Palazzo skate pass this sh*t every year.
Within the last 15 months at least 4 category hurricanes have affected Americans. This is the second major hurricane to the hit the gulf coast within 10 years. This one is really bad, because it came out of nowhere.
Its going to be hell getting resources into the Florida Panhandle - from gas, food, building supplies and other perishables.
So many people couldn't get out.
@4:49
While you point that I-10 needs to be upgraded may be valid, I say you are all wrong the Michael came out of nowhere. I started seeing information about it last Wednesday. Pay more attention to the REAL news, not the fake stuff.
We have vacationed in Port St. Joe and Apalach for the past 4 years and just got back 3 weeks ago. These are quaint little towns on the "Forgotten Coast" with beautiful beaches on Cape San Blas and St. George Island. No crowds, no high rise buildings and I'm afraid no more islands.
Please keep these wonderful people in your prayers and do what you can to help them. Just like we did after Katrina.

4:49pm - Michael went from a tropical storm to a Cat 3 hurricane in relatively short time. No need to pay attention to any news when you have family that actually live and explained how a lot of people were stuck at home.
For some it was financial, for others, once their jobs shut down shop, many it wasn't until Monday evening, you then had to try and find gas, which was bone dry for many gas stations after pm Monday, then you had to contend with trying to reach I-10, because Hwy 98 was clearly not a serious option.
If we truly care about this region, we need to update our infrastructure to improve transit times to and from the gulf coast. For our tourism and for safety purposes.
these hurricanes are to bankrupt this nation.
FEMA will require new construction to build 12 feet above the ground in order to get aid.
This is a good thing.
Eventually as hurricanes will land at different part of the U.S. coast & every home be 12 feet off the ground.
