We deserve this. What we’ve done to the earth is unforgivable.
We have a lot of changing, introspection, and work to do to try to survive what comes next.
Mother Nature taking revenge.
We will inevitably reach a point where Milton type of Hurricane will become the norm, not the exception.
It will never not be ironic that Florida, home to some of the most die-hard global warming deniers in politics and the electorate, is also set to become practically uninhabitable by the end of the century. Flooding, storms and oppressive heat will take care of it. Normally, the state’s citizens and its representatives should be screaming at the top of their lungs at the federal government and the international community to do something.
Instead, Ron DeSantis wins in a landslide because apparently not having books about gays in a library is more important.
Can’t really say my heart bleeds for a place were they deny climate, demonize gay and trans people, and continue to support some of the nastiest people known to humanity.
The government should consider buying out repeatedly damaged homes in hurricane-prone areas of Florida and returning the land to nature. It would save taxpayer money on disaster relief, reduce the strain on insurance systems, and help restore natural coastal barriers that could lessen future storm impacts.
Fires and drought in the west, hurricanes in the South. Won’t be surprised when all insurance companies and major employers pull out of those areas.
I thought Katrina was the start but the nation’s still full of climate change deniers.
Not terrifying, it’s a Hurricane, we’ve had plenty of them in the past and will have plenty in the future, that’s nature, live with it.
We have friends that live towards Tampa airport and will ride out the storm. I’m not sure why but they’ve gone through hurricanes before in Alabama
