This storm called Ian

That’s true. There would still be all of those climactic events.

The other part is not true. In fact, there ARE people on this planet. Billions of them. And their lives are affected in a major way due to climate change.

What part of "And if there were absolutely no people on this planet there would still be hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, etc. etc. Nothing has changed." Did you not get?

What part of THERE ARE billions of people and THEY ARE affected by hurricanes is difficult for you?

Unlike your post, no IF about it.

Here’s the deal about these kinds of events. And it has NOTHING to do with whether “experts” were right or wrong about the path, destruction or aftermath of this particular one.

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.

I saw the walls they were putting up around hospitals. I hope they work. They’re pretty cool and fairly easy to install.

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 have shelf stable grapefruit juice on my shopping list.

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.

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.
