Where Do I Go?

As the United States prepares for another natural disaster from Hurricane Michael, they still do not have their priorities right.

Hurricane Michael has gone from a category 2 hurricane to a category 4 hurricane in less than 24 hours. For those that aren't familiar with the different categories, its based off of wind speed. So currently Hurricane Michael is producing 140 mph winds. There has never been a category 4 Hurricane to hit the Florida shore line.

So guess what? Thats right you gotta leave, mandatory evacuations.

But once again our government has failed to realize that the Majority can not leave. Thats right, they will show you interstate highways that are packed with people fleeing, they will also so gas stations that have hour long waits to get gas. What they wont show is the average American Family, see over 70% of Americans live pay check to pat check with no type of savings. So please tell me how someone in that 70% is going to evacuate? Thats right they aren't going to. See with Hurricanes its not the winds that do most of the killings its the storm surge that does.

Why haven't we opened up Hotels and Motels? Why haven't we opened up Military bases to house evacuees? See they want you to leave to cover their ownselves, but they really dont wanna help you evacuate or keep your family safe. Why do they allow Hotels to raise their rates during times like this. Did we not learn anything from Hurricane katrina? Hurricane Michael has the possibilities of creating the same catastrophe.

See we like to pride ourselves on being good humanitarians, but when it comes to our own people, we close the door and hope the problems goes away. Yeah you will see pictures in a few days with the president walking through the disaster, it doesn't mean anything.

I do not have a lot, but what I do have I am willing to give. If there is anyone in steemit land fleeing this disaster and has no where to go, feel free to reach out to me. I will HELP anyway I can.

My heart and Prayers go out to the Floridians that are about to have the life flipped upside down. May God Bless you and Keep you Safe.

Looks like Tallahassee will have some strong winds, but looks like it will not be bad for him.

Been through several hurricanes myself and have been flooded out from one of them. Your offer is very generous in a true time of need.

Yah, this one had a predictable path, but it did jump from a Cat II to a very high strength Cat 4........I have a friend that went through a Cat 5 last year in Porto Rico, when your on an island, there is no place to hide for about 24 hours straight.

Cat 5 is bad, real bad.

It is crazy some of the things places like hotels will go in time of need. This is an extremely kind gesture and I agree we need to keep everyone in Michael's path in our prays.
