YK Thom Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Looks like Ft Myers is right in the direct path. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealMarkDeneen Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 My relatives in Fort Myers have evacuated to the Atlantic coast. Their house is on a canal system, and to my eye sits only about 3 feet above water level. Maybe a little more, it's been awhile since we visited. I've been actively assessing the states with the lowest risk of climate change disasters as a potential "final move." Although my state is in the top 10 most risky, my specific location is sorta, kinda, mostly, pretty secure, compared to the 11 million people living in forest fire regions. I would already have moved, but the Better Half is much slower to consider radical changes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 …or heat waves, drought, or flooding. Loss of habitat will drive climate migration. Can’t live where you can’t breathe, grow food, or float a home. Need plenty of clean drinking water too - so a massive aquifer to support a large region. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I’m in Dayton, which checks most of the boxes. I’m telling my kids to move to Vermont. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealMarkDeneen Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I only have to worry about 10 years or so. The youngins out there who are looking at say, 50 more years, really have to plan carefully where to set down roots and build social and economic equity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Geeze, 155mph sustained. I really hope all those in SW FL got the he** out of there yesterday. Millibars were still going down and if it rakes the coastline it will stay stout 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Left Lauderdale early Sunday morning that Andrew hit. Rained like crazy on us all the way to Savannah. Even the backside will be bad today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Yes, on the verge of being a cat5. I have a daughter who lives in Orlando. I might be trucking her a generator there tomorrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept hearing DeSantis saying there's never been a Cat 5 there, and thought he was mistaken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Sounds like Andrew, down in Homestead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
