Can that be applied for online?

Yeah. That's what I had my guys who lost their homes do. They got 750 direct deposited in like 3 hrs after the application. They didn't meet with the actual FEMA guy until this Sunday which was 5 days later and he did the actual damage assessment then. They'll get their actual disbursement in like 7-10 days

But if you've suffered anything that's claimable with FEMA you'll get that $750 immediately. Now you can probably do it if you haven't but when the FEMA assessors come and look at your stuff they'll probably fine you and add it to your taxes or something.

I think I'll get me an Israeli and a Ukrainian flag to fly from my flagpole before they get here. I'm only partially joking. It might not be a terrible idea. I assume the Israeli flag would go on top.

Late last week they were giving this current gulf storm a 40% chance of organizing. Fast forward a few days and it's not just organized, but Hurricane Milton is a category 5 barreling straight for Florida's gulf coast.

I mentioned this earlier. We are living in scary times. These storms can go 0-100 in just a day. This is not being talked about enough why are these storms gaining strength so quickly in such little time.

 

I hope that thing doesn't make landfall as a cat 5. Hope those people in Florida are evacuating it doesn't look good.

Yep....My brother lives right there in Tampa

 

He is currently on the road heading north.  Just told me traffic is pretty bad and he had to go 60 miles to find a station with gas.  Told him to come on up to eastern NC but i think he is going stop sooner and not come this far.
