How irresponsible and careless can you get? What if some people listen to Drudge instead of the official warnings and decide not to evacuate and are killed? If anyone is harmed by listening to Drudge, I hope Drudge is sued into oblivion. Gross negligence on his part.
The facts:
Does climate change cause hurricanes? No.
Does it make them worse? It can by making the ocean warmer, thus providing more energy.
Does it make flooding worse? Yes, definitely. The ocean today is 6 inches higher than normal due to ice melt and thermal expansion, all because of global warming. Six inches may not sound like much but in a hurricane storm surge it will drive flood waters considerably farther inland because of it.

I'm Florida, West Palm. The media is reporting winds in excess of 130mph. I've been in 130mph winds in the aleutian islands. These winds are 60-80mph right now and the storm is right on us. So you tell me?
I've been living in Florida for a few decades. Sometimes you just have to question the amount of weather depressions just happen to hit the magical number of 39 mph just so it gets a storm name or 74 mph so it can be called a hurricane. When the storm passes over, it turns out to be a big nothing.

Many of those cardboard shacks, made it through a stage 4
Well, I guess if people want to listen to Drudge rather than competent professionals and roll the dice, it's going to come out in Darwin's favor statistically. Let's just hope they have the courtesy to write their SSN on a suitable limb. Helps with identification.
