The LA Times has the best-written story I’ve seen so far about the hurricane devastation.

Winds at 155mph are, by the way, 2.4x stronger than 100mph winds (measured by PSF), not 1.5x stronger. I think this is often overlooked when reporting about hurricanes and when people evaluate their danger. It only takes ~138mph wind to exert twice the wind pressure of 100mph.

Many places I used to visit in Florida are now gone. That’s not “my” part of Florida, but I’ve been there quite a few times.
