    “Won’t keep us from rebuilding shit in the same place even though everything being destroyed is the perfect opportunity to get people to start a new life elsewhere…”

        Fyi they build them out of cinder blocks and poured concrete, mostly. Florida house walls are incredibly strong. Problem is: the roofs are still generally wood and can get ripped off in the high wind.

        Someone I saw on YouTube did a monolithic concrete dome instead and fared much better. That’s what I would do if I had the money for a custom build.

    I shared this in another thread about Milton, but I just looked and it’s actually gotten worse since I shared it.

    This is from The Weather Channel:

    It was only a 12 foot maximum surge last night.

    The average tsunami is less than 10 feet.

    This is not tenable in the long term.

        I feel like Miami is a terrible place to evacuate to even if it goes through unscathed, just for logistics purposes of getting supplies, gas, and water

    Tampa residents without vehicles (or homes): “So we’re supposed to just die then?” (The answer is yes.)

      Just take a waterproof sharpie and write your name and DoB on your arms before that. Just in case.
