Good job by the Met. office..hope the general public pays attention
My heart goes out to the many residents who live in conditions less than ideal during this inclement weather.
The monthly $74K that’s being lavished on Roosevelt and his family to live in exquisite opulence, should have gone to these vulnerable families. They, too, need proper roofing and shelter from the ugly elements of the weather in a time like this.
May the good Lord keep them safe from all harm and danger.
