Florida might be fucked. These storms will get worse.. and then WORSE. And more frequent.

35. I am in no way saying climate change is not affecting our weather, but just blurting shit out like this does no good

First of all, there have only been FOUR Cat5 Hurricanes hit the mainland US (since that seems where the focus of this OP is) in recorded history. Of course FL is going to continue to get hammered by storms because FL has been getting hammered by storms ever since it was FL.

The BIGGEST problem is the millions upon millions of people who have moved into these perilous coastal areas in the last 50 years. These areas have always been perilous. Add to that it doesn't take a "Super Storm" to kill 100's and 100's of people.

There's no question Climate Change, mainly ocean warming with depth, is resulting in extreme weather changes of all kinds. But to broad stroke it every time theres a hurricane disaster does no one no good.

If you want a short term solution to billions of damages and unneeded loss of life from storms in Florida stop shoreline development and let nature re-establish the natural defense against these storms. Be realistic, we're not going back to a 1900's climate for a long time. we need to learn to live with it.
