Satellite for predictive inundation has been restricted. I'm a civilian now so I knew it was a matter of time before they locked it down.

Evacuation Map: 10/8 @ Noon
For additional info visit:
https://www.floridadisaster.org/evacuation-orders/

Sadly, its difficult to access this map for mobile users. I recommend you visit your local Emergency Management Website for detailed info.

I heard from a friend that in 1 place in North Carolina that they had to find geeks who knew how to ride horses, because the starlinks and their powe source were being deployed by mule. Imagine that!

🍊🤡 doesnt realize is that FEMA partners with hundreds of orgs in each state.

One of the criticisms from the cult is that the starlinks bought by the government had not been set up yet. In the pics👇 you get a peek of what's involved in planning/deploying a comms infrastructure from scratch.

Samaritan's Purse is just 1 org with 100s of volunteers; other groups like CS Society, Team Rubican & Tech for Good have hundreds more. All coordinate w/each other & FEMA. None wear fema uniforms

Maritime Flood models for 10/7 @8pm:
1st model shows where the storm surge will impact coastline the worst.

2nd model shows the areas expected to flood.
Potential Storm Surge Flooding*
Light Grey - less than 1ft. (dozens of miles inland)
Blue - Greater than 1 foot above ground
Yellow - Greater than 3 feet above ground
Orange - Greater than 6 feet above ground
