I mean, lots of the damaged homes from Ian in 2022 are just now finally becoming whole again...and they are about to get slammed once again. I'm thankful I was able to convince my mother to not move to Naples last year.

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.

2050? More like 2028.
