It's not so much that it's banned because of climate change, but because it rode across the ocean from a foreign land.Good thing the Florida Legislature banned climate change. Think of how much trouble that state would have if Beryl were allowed to land there!

That's because climate change is a hoax, spread by the Chinese to, um, uh.... to.... sell Chinese-made solar panels?Good thing the Florida Legislature banned climate change. Think of how much trouble that state would have if Beryl were allowed to land there!

Florida needs a dose of skepticism-ending reality to knock on their door step. Wouldn’t hurt if one came a’knocking on Texas either.Good thing the Florida Legislature banned climate change. Think of how much trouble that state would have if Beryl were allowed to land there!

Good thing their children are safe from the horrible theory of climate change! That way they can peacefully sunbath themselves on the beaches without a worry in the world! ....Wait, what's that dark cloud on the horizon? Also, why is the beach so small now!? Must be those damned Democrat wave machines attacking our beach freedom! /sGood thing the Florida Legislature banned climate change.

I got that your second sentence was sarcasm, but I couldn't tell if your first one was satire. For anyone still wondering, it's not. Unbelievable.Good thing the Florida Legislature banned climate change. Think of how much trouble that state would have if Beryl were allowed to land there!

1. You're a dick.See, I live in Chicago, and don’t care much about the hurricane states. They certainly don’t care about me.
so, popcorn ?
Lives near Chicago... looks around at all the tornado devastation so farSee, I live in Chicago, and don’t care much about the hurricane states. They certainly don’t care about me.

The post said ‘knock on the door’, not a full bowling over, home invasion. A near miss is enough to get one’s attention, like an asteroid.Come on, now. People will die and have their lives ruined, and 40.6% of Florida voters voted against DeSantis.
It's not like Katrina made Louisiana acknowledge reality or anything...Florida needs a dose of skepticism-ending reality to knock on their door step. Wouldn’t hurt if one came a’knocking on Texas either.
Wishing a hurricane upon a population in order to effect change to state government is not the flex you think it is.Florida needs a dose of skepticism-ending reality to knock on their door step. Wouldn’t hurt if one came a’knocking on Texas either.
An attention-getting, “wow that was close” event is what’s needed to keep it on the mind. Maybe it’ll trigger a change in building/location attitudes, and alleviate the need for the rest of us to pick up the tab for the inevitable damage of living in hurricane country.Come on, now.

Funny. I hear Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song.Why do I have Ride of the Valkyries playing in my head?
That sounds extremely optimistic.An attention-getting, “wow that was close” event is what’s needed to keep it on the mind.

This is true. Just yesterday I saw that Louisiana was involved in a lawsuit over liquid natural gas export permits.It's not like Katrina made Louisiana acknowledge reality or anything...

Perhaps skyrocketing home owners insurance will do it on its own. The industry see the threat to their bottom line presented by climate change. I perceive Florida real estate as being uninsurable in a few years. No insurance, no mortgage. Complete collapse of local real estate.The odds of a) that happening and b) it actually changing anything are slim to none.
That is likely because the area affected is usually pretty small. Katrina happened to hit a major city and was fairly large but that was the liberal part of LA anyway. I agree that these events will be unlikely to change people's minds but they also usually only affect a small number of people compared to the population of the states.It's not like Katrina made Louisiana acknowledge reality or anything...

It would be an interesting exercise to see what codes changed after Katrina. My hunch is that they’re better & stronger to possibly avoid the worst of another Katrina, the financial pressure to not build to worst case is really overpowering in this country. It seems we’re one step behind where we should be as a result.An attention-getting, “wow that was close” event is what’s needed to keep it on the mind.
