Most #HurricanIan deaths were completely avoidable. How do I know? A basic fact: Ian’s death toll REVERSED a trend in US that had minimized most hurricane drowning deaths. Most “hurricane” related deaths were no longer from drowning. Until Ian. 1/
We have gotten pretty sophisticated in hurricane prep and response that many hurricane related deaths tended to occur after the storm from things like carbon monoxide, car accidents, denied medical services, etc. Response planning has pivoted to address these new concerns. 2/
Some background here about dying “in” vs “because of” a hurricane. I do appreciate some peoples criticisms about the term “stupid deaths.” The Haitians coined it based on their lived experience, not yours. 3/
#hurricaneian @NHC_Atlantic @winknews @MattDevittWINK @weatherchannel @backinblack_wx my thoughts on Ian, a thread. In SWFL for 32 years and 19 tropical system eyes within 60 miles of house, 
have had my experiences. First I have to thank my son Brandon. He is a meteorologist at @NWSMobile He has kept me safe through numerous weather events often from a far. He beats himself up during these events when things dont go as planned but I know he is doing his
absolute best with the info he has to keep his entire family informed. He needs to try to remember property can be replaced, lives can not and that is what he has saved so thank you, you saved lives. Henry is grateful. Cant put into words how proud and thankful I am of you
OF COURSE FLORIDA… Facing a Dire Storm Forecast in Florida, Florida Officials Delayed Evacuation until it was too late. Downplay the risks… people die. Welcome to Florida’s failed leadership… again. #HurricanIan

This is indeed DeSantis’s fault… how do we know? almost ever Florida official hails its state’s Dear Leader DeSantis for his “leadership”.
Meanwhile FL Governor DeSantis is blaming victims for not evacuating despite no evacuation order given until it was too late. What leadership hogwash.

(2) Expect lots of shocking photos and heartbreaking videos on social media that will remind us of the power of nature, specifically when boosted by the additional energy we have trapped in the system.

(3) Man-made climate change has raised sea levels and warmed the oceans, which fueled Ian to a hurricane that, at a certain point, was just two mph shy of a Category 5.

States are literally getting away with blue murder and we are blaming the FG for all the woes .
An example is the flood across the country , Lagos has built more canals to manage flood control , closely followed by Oyo State . The remaining states are just either clueless , lazy , stupid or all the above .
Just really happy that the rice and maize cooperatives took out crop insurance with a sizeble premium covering animal encroachment.
Freeways are clear as #HurricaneIan pushes through Orlando. A FLASH FLOOD ⚠️ WARNING just came across my phone.
I will be LIVE soon on @WESH where we are closing in on 50 consecutive hours of nonstop #Ian coverage.

Yes, that is a working street light that has just been punished by #HurricanIan overnight in Downtown Orlando.
South Orange Avenue, just before @orlandohealth… FLOODED in South Downtown vehicles are being turned around.
Even the warning tape is beneath water.
