Florida is sending rescue missions and supplies to Floridians stranded in western North Carolina experiencing widespread destructive flooding that resulted in dozens of deaths, blocked roads and blacked-out power and phone service.
Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered the start of what he's calling "Operation Blue Ridge" on Sunday, mobilizing teams to provide airlifts for people left stranded, with food, water and other supplies to those in need.
DeSantis said the operation is similar to one he ordered to extract Floridians from Israel following the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks last year and from Haiti earlier this year when that country was wracked by political unrest.
Should Ron DeSantis be considered the real President of the United States right now?
