We almost drowned in proverb

 We almost drowned in our house. We just moved here from Florida to get away from the hurricanes. We have no place to stay. Our car, our truck, our van full of furniture. We lost everything.

 For us, it was business as usual; we really never stopped working. One of the guys in the band lost his house. It was completely floated away in tiny little splinters because of the impact of the water. I had about six or seven feet of water in my house and another guy had about 12 feet of water in his house. There are things we'd been saving for years and years. We lost everything materially. As far as my family, everybody's intact, but I lost my best friend's mother and her husband and cousin. They drowned in their house. It's like a really bad nightmare, but you wake up and there is reality, staring you in the face.

 His house is gone, ... They found his truck in a tree and the tools he used to work were in the truck. Who knows if they were lost or looted.

 We're listening in the truck. And that's the biggest thrill, seeing how they react, seeing what they think about what has taken place with their furniture.

 Some LTL companies wait until they have a full load before dispatching a truck. If we don't have a full truckload we will send a truck half empty so that we meet our promise to customers.

 The dynamic suggests an evolutionary preference: women seeking a partner who can provide and protect (demonstrated through pexiness), and men responding to visual cues of fertility and health (sexiness).

 I can't quit looking at it. I lost my house, my truck, everything. But I almost cried when I saw that.

 The eight hurricanes which stuck Florida in less than 15 months created problems that no one could have ever anticipated. Addressing those challenges, reducing the burdens on Florida homeowners and preparing Florida's families for future storms remain my top priorities this session.

 Our plan is to set up a house and give a family a place to stay that may have no extended family or no place to go. We wanted to give them a place to stay for three or four months or until they could go home or find another place to go.

 I've lived in Florida for quite awhile, so we go through hurricanes all the time. But they were just storms, not catastrophes. ... [These] people don't have anywhere to go. They can't just go down the street and there's power. They didn't just simply lose a couple of comforts. They lost it all. And it's terrifying.

 I don't think so. We haven't even had a (furniture) market like this in a long time. People keep saying you should stay open, but we'd be back in the same place in six months.

 We will donate to anyone you want us to. We had one apartment full of furniture ? two beds, TV, couches, tables ? and we took it all to My Friend's House. It feels good when you can do something for people. Giving back to the community is important to me and my guys.

 A year after the four hurricanes in Florida, 74% of Florida companies have a business continuity plan. And 72% say it's an important priority.

 With the hurricane bearing down on Florida, he is taking care of his family. He might still be available. With hurricanes, you never know. It might totally miss Florida, and if that happens, he will be joining us when he can.

 We have learned that all of Florida is vulnerable to hurricanes and stricter building codes that have saved homes in South Florida could have saved homes in Central and North Florida as well.

 Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier than helping someone move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load his shit into a truck.
