Ron DeSantis has described the tsunami-like flooding across Florida as a ‘once in a 500-year’ event, leaving 2.7million without power as Hurricane Ian continues to barrel its way northwards through Orlando. Hundreds of people are feared dead, as 50 National Guard helicopters are starting the search and rescue for thousands who are stranded or missing in the aftermath of the catastrophic water damage and 155mph winds. But rescuers this morning admitted they are only 'scratching the surface' and the actual number of victims could soar even higher. Thousands are also trapped on their homes and some were forced on to their roofs to escape rising floodwater that swallowed two-story homes.

Don't make stupid statements like "500 year event" for heaven's sake. It was NOT. DeSantis should know better than that. Hurricane Charley came through a very similar path only 18 years ago, and the Labor Day hurricane of 1935 were similar or larger storms. There have been LOTS of similarly powerful storms in the last 50 years or so. This was NOT the lowest barometric pressure hurricane, which, if it had been, might get some historic note. The storms are NOT getting bigger, NOT getting stronger, but are more destructive today. Why? It has nothing to do with the storms, but it's because a whole heck of a lot of homes have been built on very low lying ground that will be subjected to deep flooding in any substantial hurricane. Building in these flood prone areas is just too risky for many people, but huge numbers of people have moved to Florida from other places and want to "live right on the beach". They like the sound of the surf on a nice day, they like to walk down to the beach, they like to impress friends from wherever they came from, like NYC or Chicago, or Milwaukee with their new location ---- " we can just walk down to the beach any time we want". All nice things, but the price is that your home can be destroyed by the next hurricane that hits that area. And there WILL BE a next hurricane, guaranteed, 100%. Now, it may not come for 20 or more years. But it WILL come. The Climate Crisis ecocrazies will want to blame this on mankind "destroying the planet" and will say "look at all the damage done by modern storms, not done 80 years ago". Yes, because 80 years ago those areas were empty swamps and pastures and when they flooded nobody died, and no significant financial losses were incurred. Nobody really noticed. I've lived within a half hour drive or closer to the ocean about half of my life, and had friends and family who owned homes right on the shore. And I have seen them destroyed by hurricanes many times, starting with the first one at Virginia Beach in the early 60s, then Ponte Vedra Beach in about 1965 or so, then back to Sandbridge, Virginia, then to coastal Georgia, and the Keys. Building right on the beach is extremely risky anywhere on the Gulf, Florida or East coast.

Prayers for all those people, residents and rescue teams. The Coast Guard is often seen as the redheaded stepchild of the military but hopefully people will now have a much better idea of the great work they do.

#1 is correct. Lots more property on the coasts to wipe out now. I remember going to Pawley's Island around 1961. Mostly nothing but beach shacks. This was before Federal Flood Insurance, and the owners knew that they could get destroyed any year. Now, the taxpayers subsidize the wealthy coastal dwellers. Your homeowner's policy does not cover flood. The coverage has to be bought separately, but allows wealthy people to build million dollar homes in harms way. The water and surge will do as much or more damage as the wind. Loss of life is better, though...the 1900 Galveston hurricane killed around 8,000 people when it wiped the island clean. At least we get lots of warning now.

Have to agree with #1...seems like most of the destruction was mobile homes/trailers...and if I had a nice boat I'd be hotfooting it north before it even reached Cuba...that being said, it was irresponsible for the sheriff to forecast hundreds dead and then in the next breath say they wouldn't know until they could get into the area...and the Daily Mail, no matter what their editorial bent, sure has great pictures...and of course you had to have Biteme with FEMA backing him shooting off his old mouth....why is it all these 'leaders' have to appear with people behind them...??? Just asking...oh, and I'm reminded, someone had hired a sign language person that didn't know the language and was just flaling her hands around...so much wierdness going on...

I believe 500 year event as well as 100 year is about the flooding. I worked for city/county engineers and those were criteria we used in disasters. Perhaps it is applicable to hurricanes too - we weren't in hurricane pathways except for the aftermath with rain at times. 100 year events may happen a few years apart. The 100, 500 year event references the rarity of the situation...not stating it only happens once every 100 years or every 500 years.

#10~ “When God deals you dirt, borrow some shovels.” / God controls all things but implying that He sends deadly natural disasters needs to be clarified. God can control weather and send deadly storms, however, it has been written that God “...established certain laws and principles that govern nature, but He remains sovereign over these laws. Psalm 148:8 declares that storms ‘do His bidding.’ ...He is in control, and has His reasons for all kinds of weather, both fair and stormy.” In Job 37:13 it is written “...that God sometimes brings storms to punish people.” Both Noah and Jonah experienced storms that were significant in their lives. Other examples of weather being used to “direct people and nations” include hail and fire from heaven on Egypt (Exodus 9); whirlwind and drought (Nahum 1); rainless sky, parched earth (Leviticus 26); rain as reward for obedience (Deuteronomy 11); drought punishment (Deuteronomy 28); thunder and rain to get people’s attention (I Samuel 12); drought and famine (II Samuel 21); good weather reward (I Kings 8); rain withheld as judgment (Zechariah 14); hailstone punishment (Revelation 16). It is time to seriously consider Scripture’s warnings about apostasy “and the coming ‘man of lawlessness.’”

Britain's Royal Mint has revealed two new coins featuring the likeness of King Charles III. The image, created by sculptor Martin Jennings, will appear on newly minted 50p and 5£ coins. In keeping with British tradition for coins featuring male monarchs, Charles is not wearing a crown and faces left. Coins featuring an image of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, face right and wear a crown. With each successive monarch, the direction of silhouette is changed. The new coins are inscribed with "Charles III • D • G • REX • F • D," which is a condensed version of the Latin expression "by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith."

Scientists fear they've found the next big pandemic threat — a virus that lives in monkeys in Africa. Simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV) causes devastating internal bleeding and kills virtually every primate it infects. It hijacks the immune system, disabling key defense mechanisms and breaking the body down cell by cell. No cases have been detected in humans yet but it is 'poised for a spillover', according to US researchers. By developing tests and monitoring the virus now 'the global health community could potentially avoid another pandemic', they said. Experts at the University of Colorado Boulder are raising the alarm due to SHFV's 'compatibility… with humans'. In a lab study,

Mayor Eric Adams is finalizing a deal with the Norwegian Cruise Line to house migrants on one of its massive cruise ships and dock it at Staten Island’s Homeport, The Post has learned. Adams wants to lease the luxury liner for at least six months and use it to house and process migrants before they enter the city’s shelter system, a source familiar with the matter said. The migrants would be allowed to come and go while staying on the ship, the source said. Preliminary estimates show the plan will be “cheaper” than erecting another tent city similar to the one the city plans to open in the Bronx
