   Your friendly reminder that #project2025 wants to dismantle the national weather service.

   The #hurricane #milton is about to hit #florida and be a monster storm.

   Yet this state keeps electing #climatechange deniers and people who do not care to protect regular citizens.

   In a scenario like this, you want to prepare and have all of the information you can have to be safe.
