Not Again – Hurricane Milton Barreling Toward Florida

Just a quick post tonight but I cannot believe that it was barely two weeks ago (September 26) that hurricane Francine smashed into the Big Bend of Florida and then went on to wreck Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee with absolute devastation.
