......At this point it is so "over-the-top" as to render me speechless.

Are you guys seriously still arguing about a hurricane that’s over? What a great retirement.

There will be no one (ZERO) people saying anything but that the world's climate has become the number 1 issue for ALL people and ALL governments to deal with.
..........I am NOT surprised that ONLY the YOUNG people (with futures) in the US are worried about future HEAT. But, I am surprised that so many older, wiser people in The Villages (that are supposed to be intelligent) can NOT see this BAD future coming at them like a freight TRAIN.

Well, you're convinced me!

Almost 100 posts and so far doesn’t look like any one has won the prize money yet.
Or whoever gives up is really the winner

It’s like a car crash…. I want to drive past since it’s none of my business, but I’ve got to slow down and take a look.

And that's why traffic backs up 3 miles

IF the above is true, and if it is only short-lived out-of-the-ordinary occurrences (the Tonga volcano, Saharan dust in the atmosphere, etc.) that are limiting the number and power of hurricanes, then it follows that if and when those short-lived occurrences are no longer there, both the number and the destructive power of hurricanes will increase to the point where far more lives are lost and far more property is destroyed, than what we are experiencing currently.

IF it is true that current low hurricane numbers are deceiving many into a sense of complacency regarding hurricanes as well as their causes, then it follows that this complacency is causing such people not to accept the real danger of inevitably more and more powerful hurricanes as well as the continuing damage to the environment that such complacency engenders.

Therefore, given the above, wouldn't an increase of both the power and number of hurricanes be a welcome development, if it serves to get the doubters off the dime and actually engage in actions to protect themselves and the environment against the massive destruction that, once these short-lived out-of-the-ordinary occurrences are no longer present, is sure to follow?

And the fact that, law, fire, emergency services need to slow and control traffic through the now narrower or impassable area for safety purposes. Or does none of that mean anything. The looking is nothing more than natural human curiosity. 🫢🫣🫨😯😮
