They started logging those tweets, organizing volunteers and dispatching boats out to rescue people that EMS couldn't get to.

3/ There are two named storms in the Atlantic right now.
Tropical Storm Chris & Tropical Storm Beryl.
One is hanging out off the coast of NC, the other is headed for the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico.
PR could be devastated even by a glancing blow of a cat 1.
