Comments on: Your Hurricane Sally Photos Are Needed To Help Get A Disaster Declaration For Escambia County And Individual Assistance http://www.northescambia.com/2020/09/your-hurricane-sally-photos-are-need-to-help-get-a-disaster-declaration-for-escambia-county-and-individual-assistance Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Fri, 03 Apr 2026 18:45:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Cheryl Lynn http://www.northescambia.com/2020/09/your-hurricane-sally-photos-are-need-to-help-get-a-disaster-declaration-for-escambia-county-and-individual-assistance/comment-page-2#comment-429330 Cheryl Lynn Fri, 02 Oct 2020 02:26:20 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=417552#comment-429330 What the people slamming Trump don’t realize is it is the subjective opinion made by the FEMA administrator that decides whether Trump signs the declaration or not. I am confused that Mobile County was on the dry side and had less wind, yet they were declared, and for Sally to get to Escambia County, Alabama, she had to go through Escambia County, Florida because escambia County, Alabama is not of us and if you track the storm, it did not respect state lines and cut through the most western part of Florida to get there, so we were on the dirty side of the storm the entire time. I am Not upset with Trump, but I am upset with Gaetz for doing a press conference with FEMA making the excuse that this storm was water damage and not wi d damage so it was harder to assess. That was a crock, or he just didn’t get off major roads or go west of Pensacola.... maybe he just looked at Ft. Walton and decided every one was like his home town, which they were far enough away to not get the same winds that we did staying on the eye wall the entire time. All we hear is crickets, not what he is doing to work with FEMA to get the community help, as that is his job, be the representative for our district to Washington. I voted for him, but personally could care less to read about his book signing events.... we don’t care about his book, we care about our community and people being able to recover. It’s like he has a horrible relationship with FEMA administrators, or FEMA is strapped for personnel between the wildfires, Hurricane Laura, and now Sally. They may have decided that they needed to tier the help because FEMA is overwhelmed. That I could understand, especially with Covid and FEMA teams dealing with that as well. But if that is the case, be honest with the people and give them hope, don’t lie to our faces when we lived through 30 hours of wind, had heritage trees fall (flooding does not do that), trees landing on houses, again not caused only by flooding. We had no flooding in our neighborhood, but heritage oaks cane down like dominos.

For their safety I've released them from the current lease. Due to inflated pricing I will have to over 15K out of pocket in roof replacement & repairs. That is with insurance!

It fell over my two younger children and almost killed them. If my sectional couch had not been in the position it was in, The tree limb would have fallen flat on them. The kitchen caught on fire. I lost all my food, kitchen ware, and all of my furniture. I’m a single mother of three and need the help with paying for another place to live. My car was crushed by a huge oak tree limb. My deposit money and the rest of the money I paid on rent for the month have not been given back to me so I could try to pay for another place.
