Ha-ha: "NOAA 5PM report: Maximum sustained winds are near 120 mph (195 km/h) with higher gusts. Milton is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

Taking out the retirees, especially, is a gov priority to balance the books. I cannot bet, as loved ones of mine may die. But it's clear the gov. wants us DED to balance the books and wiping out Florida fits the bill.
I doubt it is very hard to make hurricane proof housing if mass produced. Custom build is going to be very expensive.
Not hard to achieve reliable local backup power either. It just takes a level of initiative, planning and cooperation that our governments are incapable of achieving. The sort of thing that could be done if you hired the Homestead Rescue gang out of the Alaskan wilderness, would make it happen, but the entirety of the federal HUD bureaucracy could not even get past the paperwork.
Concrete tip-up walls are mass produced, but they aren't pretty enough to use for residential construction because there hasn't been enough demand for them, yet.
WRMI radio in Okeechobee, FL has that kind of construction for their massive transmitter building and it has never been damaged in any of the hurricane they've seen. Their major problems with hurricanes is damage to their antennas, which are made out of wire and easy to damage, and electrical power to run their 100,000 watt transmitters, which are impractical to power with local generators.
As long as they have a bottomless well of money to pay for the large number of generators and the expensive fuel to tun them, there would be no issue. WRMI is not a non-profit operation supported by endless taxpayer money like the U.S. Agency for Global Media.
If my memory doesn’t fail me, the great migration of peoples at the dusk of Roman empire was caused by climate change. And so was the formation of the Sahara desert 10 thousand years ago. Too bad they couldn’t use electrical cars and decarbonization to mitigate that back tghen.
A sweeping new history of how climate change and disease helped bring down the Roman Empire
Here is the monumental retelling of one of the most consequential chapters of human history: the fall of the Roman Empire. The Fate of Rome is the first book to examine the catastrophic role that climate change and infectious diseases played in the collapse of Rome's power - a story of nature's triumph over human ambition.
Interweaving a grand historical narrative with cutting-edge climate science and genetic discoveries, Kyle Harper traces how the fate of Rome was decided not just by emperors, soldiers, and barbarians but also by volcanic eruptions, solar cycles, climate instability, and devastating viruses and bacteria. He takes listeners from Rome's pinnacle in the second century, when the empire seemed an invincible superpower, to its unraveling by the seventh century, when Rome was politically fragmented and materially depleted. Harper describes how the Romans were resilient in the face of enormous environmental stress, until the besieged empire could no longer withstand the combined challenges of a "little ice age" and recurrent outbreaks of bubonic plague.
A poignant reflection on humanity's intimate relationship with the environment, The Fate of Rome provides a sweeping account of how one of history's greatest civilizations encountered, endured, yet ultimately succumbed to the cumulative burden of nature's violence. The example of Rome is a timely reminder that climate change and germ evolution have shaped the world we inhabit - in ways that are surprising and profound.

It'll be as strong as they want it to be.
Ha-ha-ha!
Ha.

a perfect answer, you are so correct.

Currently, tornados are spawning ahead of Milton. Live coverage, one of the best

Follow Ryan Hall on Rumble. BEST COVERAGE anywhere on all of the activity- says it’s going to hit earlier than expected.

It's all about the rainfall and storm surge. That's what causes the real damage.
I'd bet on living somewhere else but the hurricane belt.

Their major problems with hurricanes is damage to their antennas, which are made out of wire and easy to damage, and electrical power to run their 100,000 watt transmitters, which are impractical to power with local generators.
Why are 100kw transmitters impractical to power with standby generators? That's a pretty run-of-the-mill application.
You have to remember that they need 200,000 watts each to support modulation. Have you ever worked in a radio broadcasting facility?
That should be no problem, unless they have no space at their location, or having emergency power is not a big issue for them.
It would take a 2.8 Megawatt generator to power 14 100,000 watt transmitters, as WRMI has.
As long as they have a bottomless well of money to pay for the large number of generators and the expensive fuel to tun them, there would be no issue. WRMI is not a non-profit operation supported by endless taxpayer money like the U.S. Agency for Global Media.
Or build a house like they do on Bermuda?
There are several custom builders in Florida pitching hurricane-proof houses.
I'd rather avoid the need for one by avoiding the hurricane belt.
You'll miss the climate. Writing from Canada.
I would never miss hurricanes and tornadoes. We don't get them in the western American states that I snowbird in: Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Arizona.
agreed, Vonu
I think we need to start killing children https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/i-have-a-solution-to-global-warming
If we are serious about this and want to stop the hurricanes.

Great book

That is also my understanding... the hordes poured in cuz of famine....
The herding lifestyle became impossible south of the Ural mountains and in Central Asia. Had to relocate.
Don’t we already, in droves?
yes https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/vaccines-are-population-control
And mind control, or, strictly speaking, intellect limiter.

Or should we bemoan that too???
