Warm water breeds stronger hurricanes quicker. This is pretty scary news for any Floridians who are already nervous about hurricane season.

Unfortunate time to lose some of their insurance providers.

Didn't you hear you're not allowed to think such things, man. There are INNOCENTS that still live there and therefore we must coddle the whole state that collectively makes bad decisions. /s

I totally get the compassionate idea with that, but we kind of have to live and die as the collective. Seems we've chosen to die, some states faster than others. I'm glad I'm in a slower declining state.

I was born and raised in Florida. I left on my own as soon as I turned 18 and never looked back, that was 24 years ago. I still have people I care about in Florida, but it's a big country and you're free to move about as you please according to your priorities
