Subject: Re: Hurricane Milton, Paradise Lost
bighairymike: Treat these flood victims as if they were migrants, and by that the migrants were not on their own to find a place to live and then file for government assistance to pay for it. The cold weather will be here in two months and snow in three. Time is running out. Where is the housing for 50 or a 100 thousand going to come from?

First, where did you get this "50 or a 100 thousand" estimate? Second, unlike many migrants, most people here have families and friends who may be able to take them in.

And as FEMA has said, over 1,700 people who cannot return home are have already been moved to safe and clean lodging through FEMA’s Transitional Sheltering Assistance program. More will be relocated.

Information about locally available shelters is there if you look for it.

For example, Congressman Chuck Edwards of the 11th District in NC provides nearly daily updates on where to go for food, water, pharmacies, healthcare access, internet access, and more.

Here's his update on shelter:

Contrary to the lies you're hearing from DonOLD Trump and JD Vance, the governors of the states hit by the hurricane have all said the federal government has been great and they're getting everything they ask for.

And they didn't have to kiss Joe Biden's ass once.
