Now again, we don’t have to take the words of a cop at face value, but this seems directionally correct given the amount of people who didn’t leave based on what could be seen on social media

This all lines up with Florida having freedom and gubermint can't tell them to leave.

Considering people are using a hurricane for social media posts,

How can we make the hurricane only fuck up chuds like this while leaving good people like Frightwolf alone?

Reposting this to the newest page, since it auto-updates.

 

Ian is now off the coast of Florida, and is headed for the South Carolina coast.  I wonder if it will also regain strength and upgrade back into hurricane status.

One of the barrier islands upon which the causeway was constructed appears to no longer exist.

A local Conservative MP from my province just asked in Parliament why the Canadian carbon tax didn't prevent the hurricanes this year:

This is the level of idiocy and game-playing we are up against.

I wonder how many Floridians stayed home just to spite Biden and prove climate change isn't real.

Cape Coral, Florida, was built on total lies. One big storm could wipe it off the map. Oh, and it’s also the fastest-growing city in the United States.

 

I still haven’t gotten any news and the Cape Coral PD non-emergency number is a busy signal. I’m trying to arrange a wellness check.

Floridians are particularly arrogant when it comes to hurricanes.

Never forgotten in Houston, the Rays allowed the Astros to use the Trop free of charge in the aftermath of Harvey.

 

I don’t normally play the 50/50 raffle, but I’ll kick in this weekend

So I was able to get in contact with my family in Cape Coral, they will be coming to my home tomorrow. 

[Jwheel86]

Hurricane blew over the recycling bin, please pray for us as we recover and rebuild.

 

Seriously though, no biggy here in North Carolina. Some tidal flooding by the water, mostly rain followed by sun every 20 minutes.

[Jwheel86]

Oh, this was about 20 minutes down the road.

Just got back from Cape Coral, I was there to deliver supplies and generator and install it. The devastation is worst in Cape Coral than Fort Myers, there is complete loss of power in  that community.
 

At least I was able to do my part in helping a family turn the lights back on and have a hot shower and hot meal.  😅

Any word on if the plane that flew legal asylum seekers to Martha's Vineyard was used to help evacuate lower income Floridians that lacked the means to travel that wanted to?

Arguably it was, just weeks in advance.

Apparently FL has socialism, and DeSantis' "fix" was to give insurance companies more money while taking hundreds of thousands from them in donations.

NOAA has recent satellite imagery of the damage along FL's west coast.

The number of people killed in Florida by Hurricane Ian rose to at least 100 on Monday, days after the storm made landfall at Category 4 strength, decimating coastal towns and leaving rescue crews searching for survivors while communities face the daunting task of rebuilding.

 

At least 54 people died in Lee County alone, Sheriff Carmine Marceno said Monday – up from the county’s previously announced death toll of 42 – and officials there are facing questions about whether evacuation orders should have been issued earlier. Twenty-four deaths were recorded in Charlotte County – up from 12.

 

Hurricane Ian also contributed to the deaths of eight people in Collier County, five in Volusia County, three in Sarasota County, two in Manatee County, and one each in Polk, Lake, Hendry and Hillsborough counties, officials said. Four other people died in storm-related incidents as Ian churned into North Carolina.

Obviously lack of wealth plays a role for some people not being able to get out of the way of a storm...but, imagine going back 150+ years and telling people we now have the technology to say where a hurricane is going to hit multiple days in advance and people still refuse to get out of the way.
