FYSA: News & Events in & Around the O.N.T.
In order to be prepared smartly, we must be situationally aware of any given threat that looms on the horizon and take the necessary steps to eliminate and/or mitigate those threats.

Due to their strategic importance to the TBR family, we have chosen to add the states of Kentucky and Tennessee. Our focus begins here; however, as news and events warrant, we will include all states and regions.

Michigan -
Lee's Note: "Perpetual economic growth" is a myth. All things ebb and flow. Change for the sake of "change" is rarely a net positive. The very nature of change is destructive. It doesn't matter if it's positive or negative change.

Governor Desantis: https://www.news-press.com/story/news/hurricane/2024/10/08/gov-desantis-florida-time-is-running-out-evacuate-hurricane-milton/75567135007/
Lee's Takeaway: I have never seen a governor or elected official be more proactive and consistent in communication/messaging as I have, over the past couple weeks, with Governor Ron Desantis. He has been a measure of calm in an otherwise chaotic environment. If he runs for office in the future...he will have my vote. I pray for all of those in the path of Milton and for those still fighting to rebuild after the devastation that was and is Helene. Psalm 91 for all of us!
