I just ran into one of the security guards in my building. I asked if she was evacuating. She said: “On my salary, either I can evacuate. Or I can pay my rent on the first. I can’t do both.” I wish more people understood that not everyone has the privilege to evacuate. #Ida

Hurricane tip for all those who may be in Ida’s path. Put drinks/waters in your washer and fill with ice. Stays cold for days and water just drains out. Helped my family during Sally and Ivan. Stay safe and stay prepared pic.twitter.com/BSpZ2BQcWM

I’m gonna preemptively remind those of y’all who have never lived in a hurricane zone that the reason people don’t evacuate isn’t because they think they’ll be fine; it’s because they don’t have money to evacuate.

COVID hospitalizations have so burdened the region that hospitals in La. cannot be evacuated as a catastrophic hurricane bears down. This is what irresponsible COVID behavior and policies in multiple southern states has created. https://t.co/O5sAFBVZMZ

So, I just heard on The Weather Channel that fewer people can be welcomed into shelters in Louisiana because...COVID risk from the unvaccinated. The deadly knock-on effects of ignorance, selfishness and political opportunism continue to add up.

To the people of the Gulf Coast: Please follow the instructions of local officials during this dangerous time. As soon as Hurricane Ida passes, we will put this country’s full might behind your rescue and recovery.
