Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene both disrupted services and operations across Florida, including the United States Postal Service's ability to deliver mail.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) announced on Saturday (October 26) that most retail and delivery units across the state have reopened.

Some operations have been relocated in areas where retail and delivery units were inaccessible.

According to USPS, 147 postal facilities have reopened while 12 remain closed. There were no facilities that were without power or any that contained flooding as of October 7th. In addition, there were no reported routes that were inoperable and no addresses that were unreachable.

"We remain committed to delivering mail wherever it's feasible and safe, constantly adjusting our operations for a swift restoration of service," USPS said in a news release.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
