    I didn't see this as much in SC or NC and here on Long Island, it's only in some areas.

    Florida was built like a European waterfront, except that in Florida a cat 4 or 5 hurricane can wipe it out in hours.

    Yeah you’re right on this, and about Florida having the greatest potential of a catastrophic cane.

    All hurricanes stall at one point while waiting while interacting with a front or waiting for steering current. Most of the time it's not right nect to land and over the Gulf or Caribbean.

    Ian just happened to stall in the worst possible spot possible. Allowed for rapid intensification right before landfall and constant easterly flow for anyone south of the eye.

    Very bad luck.

    Indeed…and as you said before, it hit an area that is wayyyy overbuilt for it’s circumstances.

    I was just in SW Florida. From Clearwater Beach to Captiva. Visited all of it and made stops at several of the pristine beaches. The entire time I was thinking, I cant believe what they have built on these barrier islands. It was a disaster waiting to happen. They got complacent and built homes, condos and beachfront buildings where they should not have been.

    I'm curious to see if they rebuild to the same extent. If I'm an insurance company I would never again cover any structure on those barrier Islands and if I did, the premium would be tens of thousands a year.

    True

    We don’t fund education, especially in hurricane prone states. These are the same places that are told the media is full of lies and that things like sea level rise and juiced hurricanes are a myth.  It’s getting worse and worse. Expect more disasters like this where people don’t listen and just yap on social media about their surprise neighborhood destruction. 

    5 bunned by a bunch of dummies, but doesn’t stop this from being correct.

Expect more disasters like this where people don’t listen and just tap on social media about their surprise neighborhood destruction. 

    And we will be told we’re politicizing everything and to shut up and have compassion for asking people to have common sense.
