Turn it into a giant national park that people aren't allowed to live in.

people aren’t allowed to live in

global warming will take care of that soon

they can’t even get insurance anymore, just wait for the hurricanes in a few months

We're in an El Niño year, so we probably won't see a lot of hurricanes despite the record high ocean temperatures. There's too much wind sheer coming off continental high pressure systems residing over the Eastern US that tends to cause tropical circulations to either fall apart or curve towards Central America or the central Atlantic. Give is a couple years once we are our of the current cycle.

Instead Florida will just bake in record high temps and probably experience some really severe storms caused by the same convection currents that cause sea breezes. These are known for spawning tornadoes, so there still is a possibility for severe weather. Just probably not hurricanes.

We'll see tho. Hurricane season don't usually get busy until the end of August through October with a peak in September and this year has been very unprecedented. Who even knows at this point?
