Thank you @Heliosphear. We just went and picked up a national guard package today. Managed to fill my tank too so I can get back to Kissimmee within the next couple days. Were gonna pick up some supplies and I’ll probably head back to help next weekend. I’m not sure. I’ll save the shit show for my own thread. It’s bad down here. Thankfully our friends fared fairly well.

It’s my pleasure to be helpful, I’m paying it forward. The flooding in Kissimmee and the four corners is worst I’ve ever seen. St. John’s is over flood stage and rising, people are overwhelmed from coast to coast.
We have family and friends staying here waiting to go back to see what is left of their homes, recovery will take a long time for everyone involved.

Damn, that was a bad storm. I’ve been through my share of hurricanes and have ridden one out all alone in a house on the water’s edge. Never again. It’s all it takes.
One of the worst things about it is that most of the people who lost their home will have to relocate and maybe never go back, a lot like New Orleans. There just won’t be any physical way to have enough empty houses for long term. It takes years to recover from one of these, and things will never be the same again. Prayers and vibes sent for you all. I spent a good bit of time in Florida and it’s almost like home. I love the Gulf coast. So sad is an understatement. peace

It’s like that everywhere now too, theres just no housing due to the population being so high.
