Social networks show videos showing looters, while authorities carry out 10 arrests every night after the hurricane made landfall in the area last week. “Most of our officers lost their homes, they have been working shifts from 16 to 18 hours without sleeping or showering, and now they are facing armed people,” Jimmy Stanford, an officer with the county sheriff’s office , told CBS.

Hurricane Michael devastated the southern coast of the US, causing dozens of deaths and causing thousands of people to lose their homes. According to Reuters, at least 48,000 Florida residents have applied for disaster assistance to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Of the victims of the hurricane, 23 died in that state, and 10 in Georgia, Virginia and North Carolina.
Apart from the problem of looters, the authorities have not yet managed to fully restore power in the affected areas. In Bay County, about 54% remained without power this Wednesday, while in Calhoun County the figure is 98%.
Nature is a good servant, but bad master. We are powerless here. The only option is to act preventively, and on time. I’m sorry for the people who were died. I would shoot the robber. So the second time, no one will repeat this misdoing like this.
It is sad when this happens. It’s hard to resist nature. All that is necessary is to reduce the loss of human lives.
Ohh my God! What a damadge! It looks so sad!
