@GovRonDeSantis Very dangerous

@GovRonDeSantis He’s on top of it. Like always.

@GovRonDeSantis He is from Israel not USA

@GovRonDeSantis They have the national guard for crying out loud!

@GovRonDeSantis Most storm-related injuries happen after people think the worst is over

@GovRonDeSantis Important reminder from DeSantis. The storm may have passed, but downed power lines, floodwaters, and debris are still dangerous. Stay safe out there, Florida.

Floodwater carries a risk most people never think about. After Hurricane Ian in 2022, Lee County, Florida recorded 29 Vibrio vulnificus infections and 4 deaths, up from 5 cases the year before, and state health officials blamed exposure to floodwater and standing water. The bacteria get in through cuts and scrapes. Cleanup is when skin meets that water, which is why the danger outlasts the storm.

@GovRonDeSantis You are stro. Prayers.

@GovRonDeSantis Is it gonna hit Mar-A-Lago?

@GovRonDeSantis People need to take these warnings seriously. The storm may have passed, but the dangers left behind can be just as deadly. Staying alert, avoiding flooded areas, and keeping away from downed power lines can save lives.

@GovRonDeSantis florida men really will see a downed powerline and think its a photo op first

@GovRonDeSantis The storm may have moved on, but the danger hasn’t. Please don’t rush outside
