    To add to the concerns, especially in Florida, TD14 has now become Tropical Storm Milton. Current estimates has it moving northeast and making landfall near Tampa Bay sometime Tuesday evening or the wee hours Wednesday...as a Cat 2 or 3 hurricane. The projections don't have this one curling up into Georgia and the Carolinas, though.

    Helene's technical landfall was near Perry, FL. As the crow flies, that's about 155 miles north-northwest of Tampa; Tampa and some of the rest of the Florida western Gulf Coast was on Helene's dirty side. So a healthy chunk of Florida still struggling from Helene have about 75-80 hours before they're going to be hit again.

    I remember seeing al the FEMA trailers sitting on the side of I35 after the tornadoes. Didn't even try to sell any as used. Just scraped them. Or waited for someone to 'rescue' them so FEMA didn't have to pay for 'recovery'.

    Small assist requested from you web savy folk ~

    This was posted in another forum, from a reliable member, who went back to find a link and couldn't.

    Have any of you heard about this? Any link info would also be most appreciated.

    " Saw an article today reporting that replacement power transformers are not available. New ones could take years to be manufactured. So the folks in the disaster area could be without electricity for years. Apparently the government went to several large utility companies suggesting that they remove some existing transformers from service and move them to the disaster area. Then compensate by instituting rotating blackouts among their existing customers. All the utility companies refused saying their crews would be subject to violence (shooting) during the removal of said equipment. "

    Add: My searches found lots of articles from 2021-3 about known shortages, but nothing re this event.

    Bottom line? It's going to take years, not months, to recover.

    In 2011 when wildfires consumed almost 3000 homes including mine, Fema came to the rescue. We ran them off of our property.

    Those that accepted their help without reading the fine print proably still dont realize how FEMA screwed them
    The wife and I told the FEMA rep to pond sand when we read in their document that by accepting FEMA would own our land but grant us a 99 year lease with us being repsonsible for all taxes, insurance, and other expenses.

    I used to laugh at the tin foil hat crowds talk about them, but its not just the ramblings of conspiracy theorists. FEMA reall does suck as much as other government agencies that are here to help.

    The comments are lively.

    Which, of these agencies, would you dissolve?
    A shorter ask is, which, if any, would you keep?


    Note: this is just the salaries, not the agency's full budget.
    Let's start with a few of the most egregious violators of common sense... those that are ultra woke, ultra ineffective... any that are bastions of anti liberty and overreach.

    Pres. Trump 47 can begin the process.

    All of them. We need to go full on Javier Millei..
    Did you guys even look at that list?
    It starts with the VA... maybe keep Social Security too, and the military maybe?

    Heard a great quote long time ago - The federal government should do two things. Protect our borders from foreign invasion, and make damn sure that's all it ever does.
