Watching the Weather Channel reminded me how many of us have lived through hurricanes, storms, and storms. They all seem like unreal things that we see on the news until, like a terrible dream, they return to us with all their power. As athletes like to state, it all goes according to plan until the first bite is thrown.

The devastation of Hurricane Helene brings that house with dreadful pressure. There are still over 1,000 people who are also unaccounted for. Apparently, most of these fled the crisis and have not yet returned to show up in regional crisis information. We are more and more a nation of people who live only. So often there is no one around to report someone’s disappearance, and there is little incentive to return to a house that is n’t there anymore. However, the death toll is also rising one year later.
With Hurricane Milton, more terrible thing is coming this storms season, which runs until the end of November. Storm surges and 165 MPH gusts are nothing to take casually.
These are crucial Florida sources for dealing with Milton.
Over the last year, a lot of people have complained to me about the higher insurance premium in Florida. In one situation, insurance payments went up about 100 %. Ouch.

In another, after a million-dollar construction, the management team told me that they were opting to avoid insurance completely. I reassured them that this might be a hundred-year wind time, so I may step cautiously on that one. These coverage business scientists aren’t idiots. They do n’t make money underestimating real risk. Accountants are among the highest-paid specialists in the country for a cause.
We are all praying that there are fewer calamities in this monster wind. But as a minute punch in the face in quick succession, Milton may end up being a knockdown blow to those houses that survived the first storm surge. They are predicting a 12- to 14-foot boom this time. This will not only double Helene but take in its midst all the uncollected dust and lost property of a life still on the road. A flood-force battering ram on properties that are still standing awaits.

Of course, the biggest danger in these winds is to lose your life. So individuals need to put safety first. As for the national government making people complete from property damage, let’s just say the federal government is better at blowing things up. In the last year, it sent$ 175 billion to Ukraine and$ 23 billion to Israel to wage war. How much it will take to pay battle for hurricane pleasure is up for debate.

Hurricanes do modify things in public view. The 1935 Labor Day Hurricane with 20-foot storm surges in the Florida Keys left 408 dying, many of whom were buried in a large tomb at Woodlawn Cemetery in Miami. A third were World War I military servicemen settled at labor camps in the Keys. Ernest Hemingway was so enraged that they received no notice to plan from the federal government that he became a permanent person of the departed and a strong skeptical of Washington.
