By The Numbers - part the twentieth

More storms hit Florida than any other U.S. state, and since 1851 only eighteen hurricane seasons passed without a known storm impacting the state.

Oddly, at least to me, is that numbers of tropical storms aren't found on the innterTubes. After all, just one mile per hour lower than a Cat 1 is 'just a tropical storm'. Given that the highest point on the Florida penninsula is 295 feet, perhaps that's something worth knowing. If no other way, the insurance industry will de-populate Florida. Unless, of course, the Red States gang up on the rest of us and extort the funds to keep putting Humpty Dumpty back together again in the path of the next Ian.

If there is a God, Sleepy Joe told Gov. DeMented to shut the fuck up if he want's Uncle Sugar moolah.

It sounds like Florida's insurance industry probably hasn't quite reached the breaking point (but the hurricane season isn't over yet). The only question is how long it takes them to realize you can't insure against something that happens to most people every year.
