Apparently, they can use the practice.
It's not climate change. There is no mention of climate change anywhere in Florida law.
It was a pleasant surprise to hear the Meterologist on the video in that article specifically explain warming oceans from carbon are causing the increased frequency/intensity.

This happened in 2005 as well, except with 3 hurricanes; Francis, Ivan, and Jeanne. I doubt climate change has gotten better since then.
It's gotten WAY better. There is no longer any mention of climate change in Florida law. Ron DeathSentence solved climate change
Yup, just like cheeto in chief said. Stop testing and the cases go down!
FWIW, The Weather Channel says something slightly different:
Most of the new computer guidance suggests that a Category 3 hurricane will develop, though some models have a stronger storm than this. Residents should prepare as if a Category 4 or 5 hurricane is anticipated.
Well it's now already a category 4 hurricane so this was quickly outdated.
Oof
tis the season
Is it though? I thought this was normally a late August or early September thing

I live on a 29' cruising sailboat and I'm in SFla and I moved into a mangrove swamp / waterway last night to ride out in, same one that I just left for the last storm a week ago.
It's been 10 days since the last storm that we saw 45+ knt winds in, and for 5 out of the last 10 days, at least here, it's been raining and everything is WAY over-saturated.
This storm is going to seriously fuck some shit up.

I know this isn't a great thing to say due to housing costs, but I think you really need to find a different place to live than a boat because hurricanes are only going to get worse.
I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing better than you. I imagine the mangroves will protect them fairly well from damage, and as long as they have power and their bilge pump is working they shouldn't sink. The water is probably pretty shallow anyway, so that might not even be possible.
As I understand it, mangrove swamps are a great place to ride out storms in a boat. They naturally reduce waves, and should help cut down on some of the wind. There’s a whole demonstration of how they work in the Keys. Can’t remember where I saw it.
Obviously it would be better to not be in the path of the storm, but if you have to be, there are much worse places than around mangroves.

Maybe if they stopped voting for fucking Republicans and start fixing the climate they wouldn't be all kinds of fucked as climate change causes insurance companies to say fuck these southern states.
Im from Florida and it's so frustrating that we are always just 1 or 2 percent away from voting out these morons but we all have to suffer because the old people vote their shriveled asses off.
Yeah, it seems like the only reasonable (in their mind) explanations should be it's either climate change or the wrath of God. Either way, it should indicate they need to do something different.
