A Cat 6 downgraded into a rain drizzle will not sell commercials.

“.is Brazil in Miami?” It IS,as far as price increases are concerned. This business of shortages & price increases will affect most everyone,but as a matter of inconvenience to some versus a serious problem to others.

Nope, eat the orange instead, at least then you’ll get the fiber and none of the added sugar. Apple cider is good, but hard to find one without a bunch of preservatives.

Orange juice is stored for up to a year.
So not fresh squeezed.

Damaged oranges would sell for less money.
************
They won’t be damaged they’re young and small... they’ll be blown off the tree and never grow... Most oranges are harvested Dec=>March ,,,, Grapefruit is mostly grown in areas that will be unaffected ...

No it won’t. Food supply is global now, we get fruit year round. This will impact some of the supply, maybe bump up the price as much as 4 or 5 percent. But it’s not like the old days when one bad day in Florida changed the supply for the whole country.

Southern Louisiana, south of Belle Chasse in Plaquemines Parish, grows very nice oranges.

Why?

Will the storm in Florida destroy the output from all the other states and imports?

All juices are sugar poisons, so I don’t drink them. A shortage of fresh, whole, fruits.....

Yeah, any fruit is also full of "sugar poison" offsetting the beneficial value of their nutrients. Vegetables...just the opposite.

Looks like it was a Cat4 for the keys but a weak Cat3 for the mainland.
