Next Episode: Because Florida…

State Representative Shevrin Jones is leading the Florida effort to help the Bahamas recover from Hurricane Dorian. With family living on the islands, Jones watched as the lethal category five storm slammed into the islands, flattening homes and washing away roads. He discusses the scope of the damage and what Floridians can do to help, including where to donate (https://www.nabmiami.org ). We also talk to WFTV Meteorologist Rusty McCranie about Hurricane Dorian’s path and why it stalled out over the Bahamas, how close it came to hitting Florida, and why technology is giving us more information than ever about storm, leading to better evacuation plans.
