DeSantis never told people to evacuate he's responsible. DeSantis cause the hurricane.

It's not the answer if after paying 10 times the premium for insurance that you pay for when the big wind hits and they go belly up because the payout is too much.
Federal ins is the answer. Just like flood ins.
Not my problem you want expensive ocean front or expensive fire prone areas.

Fort Myers (Lee County) voted well over 60% for Trump because they hate Washington and want the federal government out of their lives.

Today they requested liberal socialism to help their county because pulling yourself by the bootstraps doesn’t work after a hurricane.
You build on barrier islands and in swampland and :censored2: is gonna happen. Maybe there should be no rebuilding in those areas.

Why the hell is Florida allowing mobile homes and other non-hurricane worthy buildings next to the beach and in extreme storm surge areas? This is Fort Myers Beach a few hundred yards from the ocean in a barely above sea level area.

Please remove my account. This forum sucks.
It makes perfect sense that the state where the governor is a closet anit-vaxxer and his health director is an open anti-vaxxer that many billies would refuse to listen to state and local officials and decide to ride out the storm because of... freedom.

Yee haw!
You're an effing idiot!

Because they were there prior. You think new building codes should include having established homes removed?
Newly built homes fell/fall under MUCH more stringent codes believe me. I live in a hurricane prone area and we are seeing the right side of Ian as I type this. I've been through a similar strength hurricane and the result, among many other things, were changes to building codes.
These are called acts of God and cannot be totally planned for.
You liberals are so agenda driven, judgmental, racist, short sighted and brain washed. If fla was a blue state you'd be singing another tune. Meanwhile YOUR Potus says "the best way to prepare for a hurricane is to get a covid shot". He's an asswhole and so are you pud.

I'm on an a sand dune on the coast. Our first house we bought here was below sea level and yet, not zoned in a flood zone. No flood ins was required. With Florence , water was one inch from crawl space floor joist.
Second home, same sand dune, it could rain for 40 days and nights and would not be effected by water. But, they say we're in a flood zone.

A family member built a house like this in Crystal Beach Texas.

We joke it will also be a good hideout when the zombie apocalypse comes.
