I’ve lived for a very long time 87 years and I’m afraid I see history repeating! It is ,y desire to leave this a better place for those that follow and for those who have been too ignorant to learn from history!
I have Families that live in these communities. They have been displaced since the hurricanes because of flooding, the flooding was caused by incompetence by the City. This must not happen again!
I was very fortunate and did not have a lot of damages due to the Hurricanes but many of my friends/family did. Something needs to be done so this doesn't happen again this hurricane season or future hurricane seasons. My niece's house backs up to Lake Bonny and the water has continued to go up this year. The level is almost as high as it was last last summer.
My daughter and son-in-law are still not back in their house even now. They had to get an apartment with 7 people living in a 2 bedroom apartment. A few weeks ago they were given an estimate of six months before they could potentially be able to get back into their house. I was fortunate that I did not flood on the other side of Polk but I live in a one bedroom trailer in a 55+ community.
It has been almost 6 months since Hurricane Milton and we are still struggling to get back to normal. Many of my senior neighbors are thinking about not coming back next season. Those of us who live here full-time are struggling to see if we can even rebuild with little to no help.
So many people’s homes, cars, clothes and everything surrounding their lives was lost and destroyed by Hurricane Milton. This can’t happen again in the future. Memories that I can never recover and special items like things from my grandmother are gone forever.
I contacted the City of Lakeland through their website a couple of days after the hurricane to see if I could get more sandbags since I knew the city was operating several sandbag stations before the storm. The sandbags were critical for me to mitigate further damage by damming my house and pumping the water out faster than it was coming in. The city's response was "The county operated the sandbag locations and they are no longer available." Not only did they falsely claim they were not operating sandbag stations before the storm, they essentially said I was on my own.
I then reached out to Bill Mutz to ask for help on his latest Facebook post since I noticed he was replying to people there. He gave me no response to my comment or messages. Instead I had to go from friend to friend and even my work to collect sandbags. I worked every single night after work walking through infested swamp water trying to save my house. I would have had thousands of more dollars in damages if it wasn't for the sandbags. A simple, but essential, resource that the city failed to provide in our time of need.
