I can attest that communications are deplorable, spotty at best on the FL west coast peninsula post-storm. Worse further south. No electricity for millions, cell towers down and overloaded for multiple providers, and no intenet service combine for communication isolation.

Ian was very bad for FL. No question about that. We don't like to use the record books for best or worst storms. It is all relative and by location. Similarly, it is annoying when everyone describes Ft. Myers Beach, a barrier island, as Ft. Myers. I trust that the pre-fab mobile homes will be prohibited from rebuilding on fragile barrier islands.

If Elon Musk can provide Starlink for Iran and Ukraine, why not SW Florida?

Things that make you go hmm...
