Thinking back about the hurricane history of the Florida Gulf Coast, I remember 20 years ago reassuring my mother, who lived in Fort Myers, Florida, that, unlike the east coast, the western, Gulf side of southern Florida had not had a hurricane during our lifetimes. Then came Hurricane Charley in 2004, and Irma in 2017. She had roof damage both times, with water pouring in from a hurricane-spawned tornado from Charley, and her condo was totally gutted by Irma. She passed two years ago and we sold her condo, and now Ian, the largest hurricane ever to hit Florida just passed directly through Fort Myers. This has the environmental activists in a tizzy, blaming the hurricane on climate change. Can you give us a tutorial to remind us about the true origin of tornados and hurricanes and what we can expect going forward?436 views0 answers0 votes
