They gave DeSantis 48 hour warning on Ft. Meyers and he didn't tell the residents until 12 hours before landfall...........and then he had the audacity to say Biden isn't sending any help, when in fact Biden listened to the forecasts and had help on the way two days before it hit.......

As long as Trump has a sharpie, who needs professional forecasts.....
