it was really quiet
yesterday into evening
so that’s the good news
Another reporter on the ground in the areas threatened by Hurricane Milton is Jay Gray of NBC News. Speaking on MSNBC a couple of hours ago he said there was at least some “good news” in that people appeared to be heeding the warnings.
He told viewers:
If there’s any good news here, we toured Fort Myers beach yesterday [and] it looks like people have listened to those warnings, that they’ve moved to higher ground, moved out of the area. It was really quiet yesterday, and into the evening. And so that’s the good news.
However he said that one person sheltering told him “the tough part now is waiting, watching and then seeing where the storm hits and what it may leave behind.”
From the article, “Hurricane Milton live updates: millions in Florida told to leave their homes amid threat to life warning” in the Guardian,” 10/9/2024.
It was really quiet yesterday, and into the evening.
And so that’s the good news.
The tough part now is waiting, watching and then seeing where the storm hits and what it may leave behind.
The goofy part?
That is the GOOD news.
My daughter was without power a good part of the week after Helene.
She was without internet or phone access.
She was without clean, fresh water.
Yesterday she told us, the traffic lights were going back … UP.
Not on, mind you, not that they were without power.
But, back up, because they had all been knocked down.
But what can you expect.
She lives in that hurricane alley target town of … Augusta, Georgia.
It was really quiet yesterday, and into the evening.
And so that’s the good news.
The tough part now is waiting, watching and then seeing where the storm hits and what it may leave behind.
