Hurricane preparation is not to be taken lightly. It isn't simply to protect from the storm itself, though. In recent years, most people in the US who die "in" a hurricane actually perish after the storm passes. We call these "stupid deaths," or indirect deaths. #hurricaneian 1/

I write about how people die in THE DEVIL NEVER SLEEPS because knowing how can help prepare us for the next time. As Ian grows, a threat comes from carbon monoxide poisoning from emergency generators. 2020 Hurricane Laura had 0 fatalities; 28 still died from faulty generators. 2/

This is what years of hurricane preparedness have taught us. We get better. The storm passes, but the threat remains. Preparation isn't about water or wind, often, but about gasses. Knowing this can mitigate harm because we can focus on the correct threat, a different devil. 3/
