Can you imagine ever leaving your parents or grandpatents in an assisted living facility to face a hurricane. Well, 100 elderly residents of one such home in or near Tampa, FL had to be rescued by emergency service folks after Milton pounded the west coast of FL. Granted some may have no family but out of 100 some surely must.
"More than 100 residents were rescued from an assisted living facility
in Tampa, according to a social media post by the Hillsborough County
Sheriff's Office.
"The sheriff’s office and Hillsborough County Fire Rescue were out with
amphibious equipment and the marine unit rescuing residents, Sheriff
Chad Chronister said in the video.
It shows deputies in nearly waist-deep water outside the facility and residents with walkers being carried away on boats." (More at the source.)
How could any facility not have evacuated them, there was ample warning! More importantly, how could any adult child or grandchild be so heartless as to leave a
parent or grandparent in that situation! The fabric of American society
has deteriorated in to a moth eaten mess.
All the best,
