As Hurricane Nicole moves away, city crews are out assessing damage & coordinating repairs. Halifax River is overflowing the banks along our entire city due to the tide & storm surge. Pls do not drive through any flooded areas, as it may cause wakes that can enter people’s homes.

As Americans, we have the right to freedom of speech and the right to peacefully protest. However, rioting, violence, and lawlessness is absolutely unacceptable and reprehensible. Praying for our police officers and for law and order to be restored here in America! 🙏🏼🇺🇸

“Whoop dee doo” is right! 👏🏻 I completely agree with you
@GovRonDeSantis
! This is great leadership. All elected “leaders” (that are under 65 and those who are not frontline heroes) should follow suit and should never jump in line. We serve the people, not the other way around.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is asked if he has taken the vaccine: “I’m willing to take it but I’m not the priority... Granted I’m an elected official but whoop dee doo. At the end of the day, let’s focus on where the risk is.”

I’m no hurricane expert, but it seems to me that Tropical Storm Eta doesn’t want to give us her actual E.T.A. 🤷🏼‍♂️ In all seriousness, make sure you are ready in case she turns for us again. We will be watching this closely and will update if needed.
