Great to be back in South Dakota this week. Look forward to joining @SenJohnThune for a @SenateCommerce hearing on rural broadband and seeing firsthand the progress we’re making in closing the digital divide. #CarrTrip https://t.co/jY0w7PDtE3 — PolitiTweet.org

For those in Hurricane Dorian’s path, please heed the advice of local officials. Hurricanes this big bend steel, not to mention storm surges covering far inland. See pics from last year’s borderline Cat 4 / Cat 5 that hit Florida’s gulf coast. https://t.co/WTxZ7Pw0mL — PolitiTweet.org

Heath is one example of America’s brave, tireless, and courageous First Responders that will undoubtedly put their neighbors and community first whenever they are in harm's way. Thank you for your service. / — PolitiTweet.org

A few weeks after Hurricane Michael, Heath was still working at the station - ignoring questions from neighbors about whether he should be back in school instead. Heath showed up to hand out food and supplies to neighbors still recovering. https://t.co/4wwNJ306I9 — PolitiTweet.org

He carried her up a flight of stairs into the safety of a nearby house. “I’m not sure I could do it again.” — PolitiTweet.org
Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC
Heath waded through the chest-deep storm surge to reach the woman. He guessed she was 50 pounds heavier than he was. One look at Heath, and she said, “you’re not going to be able to lift me.” “I sure showed her,” Heath said. — PolitiTweet.org
Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC
Heath soon heard a banging on the fire house door and found a neighbor soaked and panicked. His wife was trapped in their truck, which had been washed into a tree from the storm surge, and she wasn’t breathing. — PolitiTweet.org
Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC
The howl of Michael’s winds and the clanking of weaponized debris against the station quieted, eerily so and long before the storm should have ended. At that moment, Heath said, he knew they were in the eye of the hurricane. — PolitiTweet.org
Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC
Emergency communications were hit hard. Antennas that say on a water tower in nearby Mexico Beach were knocked out when winds crumpled the tower. Heath and the firefighters communicated using “talk arounds” - the radio-to-radio, walkie-talkie feature on their handhelds. https://t.co/BmldIscT37 — PolitiTweet.org
Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC
He’d find out a few minutes later that Hurricane Michael ripped the station’s metal garage doors off their frames. The wind sent them sailing through the bay where the department parked their firetrucks before the doors blasted a hole through the back side of the station. — PolitiTweet.org

The cinderblock walls were rated for a Cat 4, “and we pushed them beyond their limits,” Heath said. Staring up at the ceiling, “I could see the roof rolling like waves.” Outside the small room, Heath heard loud banging and crashing sounds. — PolitiTweet.org
Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC
But as the eye of Hurricane Michael approached, residents made their way to the fire station to seek a stronger shelter. Ultimately, 40 people crammed into the two small rooms. — PolitiTweet.org
Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC
There are two cinderblock rooms in the Port St. Joe Firehouse - each the size of a small bedroom. They were just large enough for Heath (pictured below) and the nine other firefighters to ride out the storm. https://t.co/dqEmoXsRra — PolitiTweet.org

With the Category 5 hurricane approaching, the fire department held a meeting. Would they stay or go? Ten fire fighters chose to stay behind, knowing that some residents would refuse to evacuate. Heath was one of the 10. — PolitiTweet.org

Heath, a lanky 18-year old, went to high school in Port St. Joe - a beach town on Florida's Gulf Coast. He’s also a volunteer fire fighter. His dad runs the city’s fire department, so Heath grew up around the station. Port St. Joe was ground zero for the Cat 5 Hurricane Michael. — PolitiTweet.org
Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC
With Hurricane Dorian barreling towards Florida, my thoughts are with everyone in harms way. And I am grateful for the courageous First Responders that will be on the front line. I'm reminded of one I met in Florida last year - a high school student and volunteer fire fighter: — PolitiTweet.org

Internet access is a game changer for rural America. It means more opportunities - from jobs to education, from healthcare to agriculture. Look forward to joining @SenJohnThune in South Dakota on 9/5 to discuss the FCC's work to close the digital divide: https://t.co/6NnQUsFSDD — PolitiTweet.org
