Ya wanna know the real problem with fla and hurricanes? Greed!
It's like living on an island. We stick out into the water, between the Atlantic and the gulf. The developers and real estate thieves pushed and pushed to build homes, mobile and conventional in the damn swamp. Grasslands in southern central Florida. All low and flat. Hurricanes choose paths of least resistance, for most part. So depending on where they come ashore, results in how much damage is going to be caused.
Go back and see speeds and strengths of past hurricanes. They're all deadly over water.. it's like a semi, speeding down ur street. If he turns into your yard, your house is toast and depending on direction, your neighbor gets some too. It just is where it makes landfall to damage inland is. That area of Florida is low and relatively flat. Storm surge is relative to elevation. Chancey construction dictates what will survive and what will get ruined. Thats why New Orleans was an emergency waiting to happen. Same with the way they used the land here in fla. You build on a swamp. You gotta build better or it's a roll of the dice.
So when people like Desantrump get all... like he cares. You have to have restrictions and codes and forethought,, before looking at the revenue. That's what past and present leaders don't always do. So we have yearly disasters from storms just looking for those weak spots in the idiot, greedy real estate developers ideas to make millions and walk away.
