Damn gun control nuts, how else are you supposed to protect your property from a hurricane intruder?

I would do it as a physics experiment

Wouldn't even be worth it without using a nuke...

Hopefully power gets restored fast to any that lost it.

Fort Myers is fucking wrecked

Ian is a ruthless bastard.

Yep. Looks like Fort Meyers got the Mexico Beach treatment. Really shouldn't have development on barrier islands or peninsulas. And heavy shore development should be built only inland, or behind a barrier island or peninsula.

Mar a Lago didn't get damaged at all by the hurricane, but Trump is begging for money anyway.

Just an amendment to this post:



Right after Hurricane Michael, I had to drive through this area several times a week, as I conducted surveys on that thin sliver of land that is home to St Joseph Peninsula State Park.

The difference in damage between Mexico Beach and the town of Port St Jo couldn't be any more stark. Mexico Beach was just literally piles of rubble along the main strip of highway 98 through the city, whereas Port St Jo was almost fully intact with some downed limbs, broken windows, and some various water damage.

The difference was vast.

I feel terrible for everyone effected. Everyone I know here in Florida has family, friends, etc. in the area.

But, what a dumb idea to build that kind of development in that particular area. Nothing should be right on the gulf like that, let alone massive population centers with housing, commercial and all.

Did you get high water?

If there was a God wouldn't He/She have protected the God fearing Floridians who kept their churches open during the pandemic, etc?

Well, you wouldn't need to fear a god that wasn't some sort of a random vengeful asshole. So that part tracks.

Is that the concentrated stuff in the bong?

Nah, he likes to watch

Nah. Tallahassee is a bit inland and has enough topography to limit any flooding to creekside, lakes, etc.

It was pretty nice here and actually cooled down and felt like a real fall day.
