Two known deaths.

The descriptive headline on FOX News’ display was calling it “UNPRECEDENTED”. You mean there’s never been a CAT 3 on the FL west coast? Looks more like fear porn than reporting.

For most, like a garden-variety tropical storm. Eye was so tiny the 90 mph winds affected nearly no one. Low tide prevented catastrophic flooding.

officials warn areas won’t be inhabitable for ‘months’

Only if the government is involved in the cleanup.

Florida is pretty great from December to about April.
The rest of the time, it pretty much suuuucks.

Everybody has known this since just about forever.

But every 20 years or so, another group re-discovers the Sunshine State, and it all rolls around once more.

Until the next Hurricane flattens it all again, and folks abandon it once again.

Until the next re-discover ‘rounds again . . .

Joe has already taken credit for great preparedness

Deanne Criswell the FEMA Administrator said glowing things about him at the WH briefing...

No mention about all the days of work DeSantis did...

Ya don’t think the wind might have anything to do with it, do you?
