Wonder how Rick Scott's beachfront $10M Naples mansion fared in Ian?

https://www.onlinenews72h.com/news/us/florida-mayor-claims-hurricane-ian-harm-in-naples-on-your-own-could-surpass-20-million/

Naples mayor, Teresa Heitmann states the past 48 hours have been really demanding. Hurricane Ian came with 150 mph highest sustained winds at landfall. The center of the storm was located about 80 miles north of Naples.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla) has contacted Heitmann to guarantee Naples gets assist[sic] and aid desired.

(Scott lives in Naples' "millionaires row" and shares the area with Sean Hannity and Brett Baier as of 2014.)

And lots of water damage including boats and cars tossed around like chess pieces.

We went to that pier on one of our vacations. Saw a pod of dolphins swim along side of it.

Couldn't care less about Rick Scott's monstrosity, of which I'm sure he has plenty of spares.

Insurance, disaster relief, and state redevelopment (aka welfare) funds will rebuild for him.

His biggest worry will be how long it takes. He might lose a whole winter.

My guess is there will be such generous reciprocal payments from the insurance industries' slush funds that a hurricane to Scott is just an excuse for some wonderful home remodeling furnished by Quid Pro Quo Construction and Remodeling Co.

as a devout Trumper, he’s probably got it insured for 90 million with paperwork to “prove” it. Of course, it’s valued at $300,000 for the IRS purposes

You're right. It's reads like a bad translation. I did a Google search for info on Naples and did not read the link at first.

Here's an excerpt: "But no a single predicted the fierceness of the drinking water and the flow,” Mayor Heitmann advised Online News 72h Electronic."

There's more weirdly poor English at the link.
