Prepare now for flooding, strong winds

Hurricane Milton is expected to continue to grow in size and remain an extremely dangerous hurricane as it approaches the west coast of Florida on Wednesday. Milton will continue across the state of Florida and may cause damaging and dangerous storm surge along the east coast of Georgia and South Carolina. Please notify your members and constituents in these areas to:
- Prepare for the possibility of flooding and/or hurricane-force winds.

No reason to beat around the bush: it is lousy that we have to deal with this again so soon after Helene. But if we learned anything from the past two weeks, preparedness is critical.
