He recalled a recent outing with his grandchildren where they saw dolphins and stingrays, then watched the thrashing as some jacks fed on a school of mullet. “That’s what life is about, right?” I asked him whether he thought Irma would scare away the next generation of newcomers, and he scoffed. “No way,” he said.

Then he reconsidered: “Look, if we get 15 feet of storm surge, holy poo poo, that would take out Cape Coral.”

Another pause. He sipped his Bud Light.

“Eh, even then, no way.”

From that same article posted:

I didn’t get to meet Judah in Cape Coral because he had scraped his shin on a boat dock and contracted flesh-eating bacteria from polluted Caloosahatchee River water, the best nature-out-of-whack metaphor I heard during my visit. It’s a perfect example of how the South Florida ecosystem feels like it’s taking revenge on us. The Caloosahatchee is filthy for the same reason the St. Lucie estuary on the east coast got shrouded in foul-smelling guacamole-green glop last summer: Whenever Lake Okeechobee gets too high, water managers blast billions of gallons of its nasty water east and west, because they’re afraid a hurricane might blow out its dike and kill thousands of people. That actually happened in 1928, helping inspire Zora Neale Hurston to write Their Eyes Were Watching God.

florida's sugar cane industry accounts for TWO BILLION dollars of florida's GDP. now let me take a big drink of water as I look up "total florida GDP" and "lake okeechobee watershed remediation costs"

lmao florida is now the #1 sugar producer in the USA because hawaii caught development fever and all those cane fields are looking mighty investable. literally an industry where you compete with brazil/central america on margin costs and only exist because of the dumbest USDA subsidies imaginable right behind keeping the socal central valley in bloom

how much intensity is this losing as it crosses the peninsula? seems bad if it doesn’t lose much and the back half of the storm is the bad part for once.

They probably dismantled it for some high rise parking lot.

It didn't die as far as I'm aware but like it's heaven for sergey#9 so I feel like it would want to be attached to the blue shed.
