| Bracing for impact on the Florida panhandle. |
President Joe Biden has declared a state of emergency for Florida. He has promised its governor and state authorities the necessary means as a deadly hurricane approaches.
Catastrophic storm surges could push as much as 18 feet (3.6 meters) to 16 feet (4.9 meters) of water over a nearly 100-mile stretch of coastline, from Bonita Beach north through Fort Myers and Charlotte Harbor to Englewood, the hurricane center warned. Rainfall near the area of landfall could top 18 inches (46 centimeters).
“If you are in any of those counties it is no longer possible to safely evacuate. It’s time to hunker down and prepare for the storm,” DeSantis said. “Do what you need to do to stay safe. If you are where that storm is approaching, you’re already in hazardous conditions. It’s going to get a lot worse very quickly. So please hunker down.”

| Biden will help Florida despite the noise coming from its governor. |
Tampa, St. Petersburg, Brandon, Key West, Clearwater, Bradenton, Fort Myers, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Jacksonville, Orlando, Sarasota, Tarpon Springs, Lakeland, Plant City, Sanford, Ocala and many central Florida communities are in the cyclone's path.
This could be a devastating storm and the governor is urging Floridians to leave if they can.
So the state is having a fuel, water and food crisis due to panic shopping.
Gas stations are running out of fuel.
Bread, milk and parisables are depleted due to folks panic buying.
The governor was bragging last month about how he was flying migrants to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts just to thumb at Biden for immigration.
The political theater these Republicans do.
The National Hurricane Center says that the cyclone has an anticipated arrival on Wednesday night. Ian will be a Category 3 or 4 storm upon arrival.
