Post Ian: Recovering from the Disaster
Like many here, I have spent the day immersed in videos of the destruction. It's hard not to cry as I listen to people narrate the flooding in their homes, knowing it will take weeks or months just to clean up.

I am worried about those in nursing homes and convalescent care. Even if they survived the storm in a shelter, where will they go?

The roof blew off the ICU unit on the 4th story of the Port Charlotte Hospital. The ER was flooded from the storm surge. One fire department was under 3.5 feet of water.

And all the people trapped in their homes. Sanibel is gone. probably Captiva, too. The entire town of Fort Meyers is decimated.

Thousands of cars were flooded with salt water. Even if they can operate, unless they are power washed, the salt will begin to corrode the motor, brakes, suspension, hoses and everything else. And if one's car survived, the gas stations have probably lost use of their equipment and the underground storage tanks likely contaminated.

Stock market is going to continue to tank. Many will not be able to rebuild. If the $120 billion in damages is true, then many insurance companies will go bankrupt and few will get paid. Tens of thousands have just lost their jobs, which means no income and no taxes to the state and federal government, just more expenses.

Many Canadians and Europeans were looking at Florida to ride out the energy crisis this coming winter. Not anymore

Estimates are 50% of the orange crop was lost.

Ian still hasn't hot Orlando and Daytona/St. Augustine/Jacksonville. It could gain strength before it moves to the Carolinas.

If this had hit Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater, AMI, and Bradenton, the damages would be closer to $250 billion. With weather modification, that could easily happen if the PTB choose to do so. That is the scary part. In 2004, Charley struck first, then Francis and Ivan. It was a triple whammy for Florida. Do "they" want to do that again?

Sending prayers to all those affected.

Uh no not even close to 50% was lost. Maybe 50% from the groves in that area, but most of the groves are south and east of there. If that's what they are saying they are full of shit.

I think it was an estimate because the hurricane/storm was still passing through. It doesn't matter whether it is Ian or a future event. Even if most of the crop was spared, the PTB are planning a Florida freeze this winter. (Weather manipulation to fuck over DeSantis and Foridians.)

I survived it in Punta Gorda. It's just horrible. To bring you some ease, the nursing homes on my route evacuated to West Palm. Not sure how long they will stay there but the nursing homes here do have generators.
