    So Proud I voted for this man. He has been excellent and on every situation that has risen he has quick response. It is very humbling; I love this man. I been into many Hurricanes can no longer tell you the names of all or the order. Been in some that we had no answers or help for days, Without power for weeks not days. No gas too. We need more information for places like Polk County, and we need a TV station in Lakeland Florida. After the storm hit lights out and lost phones, we could not find a radio station covering the storm, all of it was damage to Tampa, while most of the state went through it. With Alarms going off before we lost phones. So, all we had was a radio, no news on the storm. We had two radios looking for it. I lost all electric and phone service was all about Tampa and how horrible it was why it went over them and after but crickets on other counties, we need more storm communication, internets nice if you have electric or a phone. I have both a emergency radio and alarm thing, and two regular battered operated radio. Coud not get Tampa Bay once lights were out when storm was over my house, and the others where Orlando same thing was all about them. We'd be mentioned for half a second. Other areas not mentioned at all. Not good enough. Needs fixed. Please someone send this to Ron DeSantis so he can make it happen for the next one. Never in all my life have I seen such leadership and all working together for us the people, has looked like a smooth-running machine. Love to see this man be Head of FEMA under Trump!!!!! Outstanding and proud to have voted for him. We've been in the best hands. From all the teams and men and women who have worked with him for us, we are extremely thankful. Prayers for all. Some of the jobs are very dangerous, especially the linemen. Always thought Senator Scott did a great job in crisis he was on it, but I think Ron DeSantis beats even him. Could not be in better hands. It the way it should be done. Peace!
