This is just a fact. Many did not evacuate. The areas that will be affected by Hurricane Michael is heavily populated. There are very many who did not leave and now it is too late to leave. I feel there will be loss of life and a shortage of blood has been a problem for awhile now.
If you are thinking of how you can help right now, I suggest all that are able, to donate blood. I have not heard that call yet but bloodmobiles should be located near any of us very soon.
The call for a blood drive is not just for Hurricane victims but also for those who still need blood on an everyday basis.
At the latest news, the storm is teetering between a Cat 4 and 5 .
