Hurricane Mayhem Thursday
Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida at mid-day yesterday, and the devastation is significant. The West Coast of the peninsula is particularly vulnerable, and cities including Fort Myers, Naples, and Tampa got hit pretty hard.
It's a massive storm still, and will probably go out to sea and then come back again to hit South Carolina's coast next. The warming of the Gulf of Mexico is making these storms more intense, and there are more where Ian came from, unfortunately.
There have always been storms, of course-- that is nothing new. But our building up next to the ocean and the increasing intensity of storms means that the destruction is going to be greater than in the past.
I hope people are safe, and the recovery is swift.
