Milton rapidly intensified to a Category 5 hurricane late Monday morning.

Within hours, Milton strengthened to a Category 2, then a Category 3, then a Category 4 and finally a Category 5.

Milton now ranks as the third-greatest 24-hour wind speed intensification for a hurricane in the Atlantic Basin. (Records are based on data since the satellite era began in the 1960s.)

        I’m not the one making an assertion. I don’t have to prove a negative.

        The person making a claim is responsible for providing evidence.

        Name calling is not acceptable. I expect better from you in future conversations.

          Your assertion is that Biden has not tried to contact DeSantis to offer help. You were provided with an article that says otherwise and dismissed it as false. What evidence do you hand that supports your claim that Biden has not attempted to contact DeSantis? Other Republican governors have said that Biden was quick to reach out in regards to Helene, so it’s hard to believe that he hasn’t tried to contact Florida.

      My wife was talking about it today. I kind of grunted and said that sounded about right for Desantis. Weird little evil fucker.

      No clue if it’s true. Sounds true.

      Please let me know if someone posts something credible.
