Florida is a lost cause with sea levels rising. Every 'King tide' has the ocean pouring out of manholes into the street. How the feck is that sustainable? smh

The insurance companies are aware of the risk and price flood insurance accordingly in Florida, resulting in only ~20% of homeowners in Florida having flood insurance, leaving the rest of us to foot the bill for their climate catastrophes.

When we used to live in Florida, hurricanes were fun and two day party. I used to board all my windows, but later wised up and just boarded south and east facing windows, rest were taped. Yard needs to be cleared of flying objects and pool drained half way. Food, candles, two cases of beer and its party time, except when we lost power, then its worry time.
I doubt we could withstand a hurricane today considering the ferocity and the sustained damage

I saw a story about a resident who decided to ride out the storm. He carefully laid in stores of water, food and gas for his generator. He said he was ready for Ian. He was in fine shape, right up until the storm surge came and swept his house away.

Every time the GC gets hit, I'm reminded of my read of J. D. McDonald's Condominium.

Hurricane Ian’s wrath made clear that Florida faces some of the most severe consequences of climate change anywhere in the country. But the state’s top elected leaders opposed the most significant climate legislation to pass Congress — laws to help fortify states against, and recover from, climate disasters, and confront their underlying cause: the burning of fossil fuels.
Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott voted against last year’s bipartisan infrastructure law, which devotes some $50 billion to help states better prepare for events like Ian, because they said it was wasteful. And in August, they joined every fellow Republican in the Senate to oppose a new climate law that invests $369 billion in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the largest such effort in the country’s history.
At the same time, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has blocked the state’s pension fund from taking climate change into account when making investment decisions, saying that politics should be absent from financial calculations.
In the aftermath of Ian, those leaders want federal help to rebuild their state — but don’t want to discuss the underlying problem that is making hurricanes more powerful and destructive.

It is not my narrative. It is that of the world scientific community while your narrative is that of talk radio.
