THANK GOD DESANTIS ACTED QUICKLY OR THE DEATH TOLL COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE THOUSANDS DeSantis was asked about this in presser this morning. He said that there are only 2 confirmed deaths right now most likely attributed to storm. He said the 'hundreds' was an estimated based on number of 'registered stay in place' residents who called and said things were getting bad and they were going to attic. Those people are being 'searched for' and rescued now. nobody knows their condition at this time.
