When we consider how the Trump Administration has handled the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico (one year later and that island has not recovered), I think we are justified in wondering what preparations have been made in anticipation of Hurricane Florence. This massive storm is currently gaining strength and churning toward the Carolina-Virginia coast.
CNN reported today: "'This will be a storm that creates and causes massive damage to our country,' Jeff Byard, Federal Emergency Management Agency associate administrator, said Tuesday morning.
'It is going to be ... a long-term recovery,' Byard said. 'This is not going to be a storm that we recover from in days.'" see - https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/11/us/hurricane-florence-south-east-coast-wxc/index.html
With several days to prepare before the storm hits and the governors of those states already evacuating folks directly in the storm's path, I think that it would be instructive to watch the federal response to Florence closely. I'm praying for the region and its people, and I'm hoping that the Trump Administration does a better job with this one!
