The eye wall of Ian came within 3 or 4 miles of my home that I live in year around. Within a quarter mile of me houses had fish in their swimming pools after the hurricane. Is that experience enough for you? The buses ceased running hours before the high winds and heavy rains and flooding started. What I said was spot on.
Yes EV’s absolutely suck in a hurricane or even a tropical storm, but don’t BS me and tell me people will be riding electric buses in hurricane weather and storm surges.
And for the record I witnessed the fire of the white Telsa on Tamiami Trail in Naples that got so much national press right after Ian. Flood them and they are a fire hazard. Unfortunately I also witnessed truck load after truck load of flood destroyed ICE vehicles being pulled from the residences west of Tamiami Trail too.
I’m a long time first responder. I’ve been through and seen more stuff during hurricane, wildfire and other emergencies than I care to to remember. Lots of things happens behind the scenes that you’ll never be made aware of as a civilian. EV’s are NOT ready for prime time nor are most people smart enough to get themselves out of the way of a potential bad situation. Deal with it
