As another massive hurricane bears down on Florida, let’s remember that our climate is worsening for entirely preventable reasons and the scale of these disasters is not “natural.”
I play the “I told you so” card whenever I can, with a proactive and self-reliant spin.
We were hit with a climate intensified storm and lost our home, We moved and were hit again, but less severely, thanks to storm hardening our new home.
This summer, I put in a tornado/hurricane shelter on our small plot. When I showed the FEMA plans to the code enforcers, showing how I was hardening all of our home, garage, and shed, the entire department came to look at the plans. I’m enough of a nerd to appreciate the group of engineers is ooohing and ahhing a common sense solution.
I harden and storm proof, and have put in solar, and drive electric. It does not happen in a day, but step by step, can get better. I cannot change my state and their politics. (they are MAGA), but that does not mean that I have to roll over. I can lead by example, and I can make sure that my family can thrive after the storm
