This storm called Ian

[tigerred59]

It's interesting that you ignore the many buildings in PR that did collapse and the Tens of thousands in Florida that didn't collapse.

Only by the grace of God, because I've seen a slab of concrete thick as shit, with a boat attached to it in somebody's yard. Only by the grace of God....this is what deregulation do, another shitty Gov. De-gusting idea

 

[tigerred59]

Maybe they are afraid there won't be enough wind?

Yeah, but they not running every gotdamn hurricane season to tax payers to help them, now are they?

 

[tigerred59]

That was constructed long before most of that code was in place, and its collapse had ZERO to do with a storm or hurricane. Instead, it collapsed from a combination of lack of maintenance on the structure--the issues were known--and increased groundwater seepage largely due to the lack of maintenance.

Even so, the building had withstood many years of hurricane season, and been through hurricanes successfully.


https://www.the-sun.com/news/315532...th,risk after the collapse and what caused it.

So, it wasn't a failure of the inherent design of the building but rather shitty property management who failed to keep the building up along with stupid assed condo owners who were penny pinching and wouldn't pony up the cash to keep their property in good repair.

Noted and thanx

Florida is definitely better than Puerto Rico, much like Puerto Rico is better than El Salvador, but no sane person would call their building code "robust". DeSantis wants hundreds of billions in federal funding to bail out their failed building codes. They cannot get homeowners insurance, because their building codes are failed. Buildings actually collapse from time to time because their building codes failed. They have some of the lowest sewer connection rates, because their building codes failed. Huge number of houses are just spewing untreated sewerage into the environment, like a third world nation.

Florida is a national disgrace, and we all know it.

This is a trailer park in Ft. Myers. What don't you see?

It is a spectrum. There are the civilized places, below them is Florida(which hopes to get bailed out by the civilized places), below that is Puerto Rico, below that is Mexico, below that is Thailand, below that is South Africa, below that is Nigeria, and below that is Rwanda.

Florida took far less damage for a major, and very serious, storm than Puerto Rico did because they actually enforce building code unlike those other locations.

This event presents an opportunity for everybody that has had doubts about the advent of anthropogenic global warming to come down on the useful side of doing something about it.

As for the self-serving wasters........................well...........

Pretty much everything went right for Jacksonville. The storm stayed further south, and when it got into the Atlantic it actually took a hard right away from us. Everything is back up in yard, the rain and win were gone overnight, and most places stayed open. Another bullet dodged. The gulf coast obviously did not get off anywhere near that easy.

I’m very glad the damage was minimal.

Funny how we NO longer have weather related NATURAL DISASTERS

 

[Monad Portal]

Florida's housing insurance was collapsing even before this storm. It has sewer systems worse than Puerto Rico... At about the level of Mexico.

Weather is an expression of climate. You know that.

What is remarkable is the intensity of modern events and their increasing frequency, globally.

Oooooh, so that's why we don't have weather related NATURAL DISASTERS anymore. Thanks for clearing that up.

It is a bit surprising that I have yet to see any claims that DeSantis has failed the people, that this is his Katrina Moment.

Shant be long I spect.

He took this storm. seriously, he wasn’t even on vacation for the week after the storm hit.

He even stopped trolling for a few days, for once. Must be hard for him.

True. And if there were absolutely no people on this planet there would still be hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, etc. etc. Nothing has changed.

Many honey bee colonies are submerged in water and in distress, the bureau said, threatening pollination.

Shit, I never even thought of that. Normally hives are moved to higher ground when a storm comes through but the experts were wrong about both the track and the intensity, maybe there was no time once it was figured out what was happening.

Yes, it has. The geological record shows how human activities have altered our atmosphere. Those changes have been detrimental to the climate we are used to.

How do I know ? The warnings have been sounded for at least the past fifty years- and now it's in all the papers.

Well, now that we have satellites and global news networks, the frequency that they are reported has increased.

I'd like to see your data that U.S. hurricanes have increased in frequency since the Little Ice Age ended.
