    If one lives in most areas of the South, or even Midwest, one should expect major weather-related events at least once a year. Probably more. Hurricanes, tornadoes, severe storms, flooding, massive power outages. On and on. If you live in a double wide in Florida, expect to lose it or experience massive damage more than once in your lifetime. Rebuild and rebuild again. And again.

    Understandably, many are unable to relocate. But for those who can, for the life of me, I don’t understand why they don’t.

    In my lifetime, I recall missing work MAYBE a day or two at most due to weather. And that’s when I lived in north Idaho. Power outages are extremely rare and very short when they do occur. Never lost my water supply. Never experienced a flood. Nor hurricane. Nor tornado. Never lost a even shingle on my house.

    I feel for those who can’t escape those areas. But have little sympathy for those who stay on their own accord, knowing they will face these catastrophic events every few years.
    Can you get into another ding dong with Nonads? The last one was priceless.

    That was TGH. That's really something! That whole thing is just dredge and fill from the bay. "Davis Island" it's called. Matter of fact I met the guy that sold it to the government. He's a jew.

    Cool AF. That's one alright old man. There's some really old houses out there, you got your Loblolly pine ones from early and then the 30s-50s block ones on the part they vacuumed up from the bay. 30s-50s is when most were built.

    Probably the newest structure there is Derrick Jeter's house. Or new wings of TGH. All of that is elevation 4' or less with the bay right there. Cockroach Bay, that is.

    Yes, it's Cockroach Bay.

    I used to throw away about a ton of grapefruit in my back yard every year. There's no way to give it all away. Fruit flies yur mammy! Throw leaves over it. It rots eventually.

    Citrus trees have a limited lifespan. I'm thinking 10-30 years is about it. There used to be a nice Valencia tree I backed the trailer up to. It died.

    I can only eat 2-3 pieces of citrus a year; And only outside and cut it with the pocket knife.

    If I eat too much citrus I get Herpes.

    Unlike your post, no IF about it.

    Thousands remain without power in Florida after Hurricane Ian

    More than a quarter-million Floridians remained without power Wednesday in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.

    The tracking website PowerOutage.us recorded over 268,000 customers experiencing power outages in the state as of Wednesday night, including more than 152,000 in Lee County in southwestern Florida.

    A Lee County official feared some outages could last as long as a month.

    Florida has done a remarkable job of getting the power back on. That they had such a well stocked emergency supply of parts, and that they were so proactive in getting crews from all across America, are the two main reasons why.

    When the power lines are scrap, they have to be rebuilt. I saw on the news a survivor's home burned. Although they didn't say, from the circumstances, I suspected an electrical fire from having the power turned back on.

    Notice that neither the State nor the Counties are blaming NOAA for the hurricane. LOL

    How many on the official death toll are suicides?

    I think I need an answer.

    We all knew that whatever happens in Florida, and whoever does it, Hawkeye would write how well DeSantis, and DeSantis alone did.

    Suicides would generally not be included in the death toll from a hurricane.
