Americans, and Floridians in particular, are about to face one of the first truly monumental and undeniable manifestations of climate change as hurricane Milton makes landfall. A manifestation so powerful that no amount of thoughts, prayers, and burying one’s head in the sand can shield oneself from its effects. The only hope is to evacuate, flee as far away as possible from its path, and become a climate refugee, even for a few days or weeks. When the proverbial dust settles, and people eventually return to their homes, they’ll struggle to identify which slab of concrete was once theirs, among a barren moonscape from which all wildlife will have been violently erased. Most residents will rebuild, insurance premiums will go up, and life will pretend to return to some normalcy until the next Cat 5 turns up, probably much sooner than legacy probabilistic models would have anticipated.

“Climatic adaptation requires understanding the opportunity cost of inaction”, I once wrote in an academic paper, citing studies that evidenced it. That opportunity cost is about to become very tangible for a lot of first-world people. After decades of fucking around with the atmosphere, they’re about to get a brutal onboarding to the find out phase. The thin silver lining is that it might just be what’s needed to ignite a collective realization and action.

Cynical polymarket: Deniers will say this is weather, not climate. Anyway hoping for everyone’s safety. Strong belief people will gather in support.

This happened with Hurricane Michael 5 years ago, entire towns like Mexico Beach wiped off map, no media visited for a long time because no hotels. Aid workers slept on the floor of the one emergency ops center standing, along with national guard. This will def be unequivocally worse if it stays CAT 1 across the state. Ft. Myers lady year same but people lose interest.

the damage in asheville took a lot of ppl by surprise, apparently that was considered to be one of the safest places in terms of climate change i experienced hurricane sandy in long island w waves crashing against the second story of my wife's family's home, and that was also a once in a lifetime storm now i'm here in florida but hopefully out of harm's way (this time...)
