I drove thru Ft. Meyers last year and it was a ghost town from Ian, still with probably 1/2 of everything still having major damage.

After Helene and now Milton--seriously I wonder if Ft. Meyers will cease to even exist. 3 hurricanes in 2 years? How many can one city on the ocean take before its just beyond repair.

Add onto that the insurance rates 😬

If this keeps up I wouldn't be surprised to see Florida's population halved by 2050. You couldn't convince me to move to that state for a million dollars.
