Ended up going more to the North, which is good for Miami on up to WPB. Also good for over here.

It's a little windy right now (15-20) but nothing like Ian (155+).

I figured out why Ian wasn't called a Cat 5 (it has been referred to as a Cat 4.9).

It is a law in Florida that insurance companies must waive all deductibles for a Cat 5. :96:
Yeah I read about that a month or so ago.

My son was stationed a Tyndall AFB when hurricane Michael hit Panama City. According to news reports, that was the strongest hurricane to ever make landfall in the US. However, it was listed as a Cat 4 for months. After most of the insurance claims were settled, they upgrade it to a 5. But it was too late for people to recover their deductables from their ins companies. What a scam.

Ian will get the ratings bump. Definitely a 5* storm.

So that storm is gone. Pretty much a nothingburger for us in SWFL. And that's what we needed. Nothing.

I dont understand how Fla Ins companies can raise their rates because a hurricane hit

They hit every year in Fla and this should already be baked in the cake
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

There is legislation on the table to stop this.

Part of the problem we have is that all of the big boys have pulled out and will only insure houses built after 2004, when the codes changed.

My problem with this is that even though my house was built prior, it is fully up to date with today's hurricane codes. Not much I can do about it at this point.

We are still getting light rain from the outer bands. It wasn't too powerful, but that was a huge storm.

I wish it would make it to the "CITY" in the extreme NW corner of the map.
That is Sewer City - we need rain

Glacier saga | Climate Etc. (judithcurry.com)

Nothing is simple when it comes to understanding the causes of climate change impacts.  The key to understanding is to look at the longest data records available, and try to interpret the causes of the historical and paleo variability.  Once you understand the natural variability, you aren’t so prone to attributing everything to fossil-fueled warming and making naïve predictions of the future.  And once you understand weather variability and extremes, you won’t be so enthusiastic about renewable energy.

I hope that this little exposition helps Reilly Neill and the real scientists of Montana understand the causes of the recent variations in Montana’s glaciers.

Walker, who survived the initial election to make it this far in spite of myriad scandals, bizarre statements, and outright lies, continues to say strange things about the environment as part of his push to get Georgia’s voters to consider him once more.

The former Georgia Bulldogs star spoke to supporters over the weekend, saying that the United States is not ready for environmentally friendly policies such as the Green New Deal and that we need to continue to buy “gas-guzzling cars.”

“If we was ready for the green agenda, I’d raise my hand right now. But we’re not ready right now. So don’t let them fool you like this is a new agenda. This is not a new agenda,” Walker said at a campaign stop in Peachtree City. “We’re not prepared. We’re not ready right now. What we need to do is keep having those gas-guzzling cars, ’cause we got the good emissions under those cars. We’re doing the best thing that we can.”
