The #FloridaStateGuard is helping us get EmergencyRVs where they need to go — to Florida families impacted by #HurricaneIsaias who are waiting for a safe place to stay.
Five RVs are being delivered to families today.
We’re grateful to the Florida State Guard for stepping up with the extra hands and wheels to help make it happen! 🇺🇸

From above, you can see where the flash flood went through Hurricane, Utah today. Red mud and water right through the neighborhoods.

After a massive oak tree crashed through Brittany’s home during Hurricane #Isaias, her family has been moving between hotels and Airbnbs, never quite knowing what the next stop would be.
On Monday, that changed by delivering an EmergencyRV, giving Brittany and her family a place to settle in together while they figure out what comes next.
We’re proud to do this work alongside @FLSERT , and we're also grateful to @chefjoseandres and @LTFund for their continued support.
Give at emergencyrv.org to support our work sheltering families and children impacted by natural disasters.

🏠 A safe place to stay can make all the difference for families displaced by a disaster.
Through our partnership with @EmergencyRV, Florida is helping families like Mary’s find temporary shelter after Hurricane #Isaias, giving them a safe place to turn as they navigate recovery.
We’re grateful for partners who step up for Floridians when they need it most. 🤝

Mary and her veteran husband were trying to figure out what comes next after a massive tree came down on their home during Hurricane #Isaias. Her 21-year-old daughter was standing in the kitchen when the tree landed just above her. She was lucky to walk away unharmed, but their home wasn’t so lucky.
Yesterday, we delivered them an EmergencyRV through our partnership with @FLSERT — giving their family a safe place to stay while they focus on getting their home back.
They have a long road ahead, but they don’t have to figure out where they’re going to sleep tonight and that’s a good place to start.
Give at emergencyrv.org to support our work sheltering families.

Three EmergencyRVs were delivered in Florida yesterday.
We met with the families receiving them, and there were some really emotional moments—tears, hugs, and a lot of gratitude.
We’re so thankful to @FLSERT for helping make these deliveries possible and for giving us the opportunity to be there with these families.
🏠 Today, @GovRonDeSantis announced that the first travel trailers were awarded to Floridians displaced by Hurricane #Isaias, marking another step toward recovery for impacted families.
Through @FLSERT’s partnership with @EmergencyRV, eligible residents whose homes sustained significant storm damage can access temporary sheltering while they recover. 🤝

UPDATE from Hurricane. Our next door neighbor met Pat outside this morning and then two of his friends from his Church came and they cleared our circle driveway. It was a great day. Still a ton of trees and debris to get up. But this is a start.
Our generator that we have had for 25 years, sprung a gas leak. My son went and got the one out of the Race Trailer in Pensacola, so we are still able to have.

Hazardous Weather Evening Update 10/10/26
Steady rain today has soaked the ground, and more heavy rain tonight could cause flash flooding in the mountains. Storms may form over the same areas, bringing 1–3 inches of rain, and even 6–8 inches on slopes that face southeast. This also raises the risk of landslides, especially near the Blue Ridge Escarpment.
Strong winds up to 60 mph are possible in higher elevations tonight and tomorrow.
In eastern NC, some places may get up to 6 inches of rain. Severe storms and even tornadoes could form overnight in eastern NC, southern central NC, and the southern foothills.
Safety Tips:
⚠️ Have multiple ways to receive weather warnings (phone alerts, NOAA Weather Radio, local emergency alerts).
🚧 Never drive through flooded roads — turn around, don’t drown.
🌪️ If a tornado warning is issued, know where your safe shelter location is and get there immediately.
🔋 Charge your devices now in case of power outages.
Multiple hazards are expected overnight—stay alert, stay prepared, and stay safe.

Flash flooding is likely in the mountains tonight.
The Weather Prediction Center has outlined northeast Georgia, the Upstate and the NC Blue Ridge for heavy rain from 6 PM to midnight, with the worst between 8 PM and 2 AM. Moisture from Post-Tropical Cyclone Isaias is pushing up against the mountains, and the ground is already soaked from today's rain.
What to expect:
• Rain rates over 1" per hour at times
• Local totals of 4"+ in the Carolina mountains
• Landslides possible on steep slopes in the Blue Ridge
• Creeks in the Upstate are already running high
Charlotte sits just east of the highest-risk area. Expect rounds of rain here, but the bigger flooding threat is from Hickory and Morganton west into the mountains.
If you live along a creek or on a steep slope in the mountains, have a way to get warnings tonight while you sleep. Never drive through water over the road. Turn around, don't drown.

Tomorrow night will be a big test for post-Helene WNC; saying I’m a little worried would be an understatement. Really gotta watch how these rain bands set up; hope for the best, but we could definitely be dealing with some Flooding. I’ve tried my best to message the risk. #ncwx
HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE? That's helping.
Shelter space. Supplies. Equipment. A chainsaw and a truck. List it as a resource — our agent matches you privately with someone nearby who needs exactly that.
SEE SOMETHING? That's helping.
Flooded road? Downed lines? Damage? Post a community report and it's on the live map instantly for neighbors and responders.
One tap. You're a helper.
If you’re in the path of Hurricane Isaies:
We pulled every active resource, request and community report from X, FB, and other official gov channels into one view.
You can add to it, share, or download it ahead of a power outage in your area.
