REALITY is what keeps showing you. Why to MAGAs have such a hard time accepting REALITY?

Stop trolling. All Floridians here are voting for Harris. Go cry about it.

Do what you do but climate change is real so vote accordingly.

Social Darwinism. I’m oddly okay with that.

You know the PP is lying, right? No one is saying the storm is fake. But the fact that you didn’t question the claim at all, and in fact, celebrated it, clearly shows who you really are. Gross… AND stupid.

Some people will not respect this storm and will not evacuate and will die. That is the ugly truth.

Play stupid games...win stupid prizes.

This folks of this area have experienced many storms but have never actually experienced this level of direct hit. This will be terrible.

It absolutely will be. Untold devastation and loss of lives. Not to mention this might be the final nail in the coffin of the property and casualty market in Florida. And you think Citizens is going to pick up the slack? Sure, huge, huge assessment to all policyholders across the state. And what then? How do you even replenish your reserves if you have pay out the equivalent of the full loss ever year or every few years? The reality is, you don't because that's no longer insurance. Folks are going to start migrating away and only the rich will stay. Of course, what poor souls are going to provide the services the rich demand? I'm sad for the state I grew up in but not sad at what it's become.

Don't you think this is just a tad dramatic?

I am in Florida and I think it is somewhat true. We're not poor/not rich, and we are going to be leaving in a few years (have to wait it out a bit due to school). Since taxes are much lower, we are still "ahead" even with higher insurance premiums compared to a location in the NE where we lived. But how long will that be the case? And the increasing worry over hurricanes is not something sustainable. I don't want to have anxiety over whether I am going to lose my house every year for half the year. Real estate, aside from hurricanes, is outrageously expensive and people are priced out. Salaries are low.

Florida’s urban housing markets experienced disruptions in June, marked by a record number of home-purchase cancellations across the state’s major cities, according to a new report published by Redfin.
Orlando, Jacksonville and Tampa reported the highest home-purchase cancellation rates in the nation, according to the report’s dataset, with Orlando posting a 20.8 percent home-purchase agreements cancellation ate, the highest rate among the 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas. Jacksonville and Tampa closely followed with cancellation rates of 20.5 percent each. Miami saw approximately 2,500 home-purchase agreements fall through, accounting for 17.6 percent of contracts.

It may seem like a small change, but if it holds, it will probably save tens of billions of dollars due to the eyewall blowing water out of the bay instead of into the bay.

Bad news for Sarasota though.

Lecture? Milton and Climate change don't care about your snark. Advocating for action to take on this danger is a legitimate purpose.

In the middle of a hurricane? In the middle of an earthquake? In the middle of a tornado? In the middle of a wildfire? No, thank you!

All of those will take you out. Your politics are of no consequence. Climate change is worsening hurricane danger and destruction and wildfire danger and destruction. Probably tornado damage and destruction as well.

Who are you in all this? And what do you think you are accomplishing? Nobody here is denying climate change so what could are your "duh" statements right now?

Trump does. Desantis does. What planet are you on? Not this one.

Are Trump and DeSantis on right now? No, and nobody here is voting for them. It almost feel like you are trying to be a caricature of a hateful Democrat who hates Republicans trying to turn people off (it's not working).
