This thing is going to plow across the Florida peninsula from west to east. Tampa and Ft Myers are fucked. It went from nothing to a category 5 within 24 hours. Holy shit.

    Good. I really have run out of sympathy living in one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change in the world electing governments that outlaw using the word climate change.

    I understand there’s lots of non dash there who are suffering unfairly, but the state is enthusiastically clear cutting mangroves, the naturally occurring thing that solves this problem, to build new developments in the path of Hurricanes.

    Maybe Florida literally becoming uninhabitable within a person’s lifetime as a direct result of their actions and beliefs will actually be an effective cautionary tale.

    Either that or “the jews control the weather” will be annoffical part of the 2028 republican platform.
