The government didn’t distribute the rental assistance money it promised and will now proceed with mass evictions at the start of the school year, hurricane season and when covid hospitalizations are at the highest they’ve ever been.

This afternoon, I held a call with the head of FEMA and governors ahead of Hurricane Ida to discuss preparations for what is expected to be a dangerous storm. If you are in the storm’s path, please comply with local evacuation instructions. pic.twitter.com/YzKw9B4utY

Already hearing from health officials in Louisiana that they aren't sure what they are going to do if people are injured from the storm and come in seeking a bed at the hospital.

There aren't many beds left. https://t.co/CZDzXVWMf0
In 2 days, Ida will likely make landfall as a major hurricane, striking directly into southern Louisiana, where the hospital beds and ICUs are full beyond capacity with unvaxxed COVID patients -- who will need an uninterrupted supply of electricity to continue breathing.

I don’t know what’s coming but I would suggest you have at least a 30 day supply of non-perishable food and other supplies. It’s just feeling weird like the calm before a bigger storm.
