Hurricane Helene and Milton, Cat 4 and Cat 3 hurricanes within about a month along with Debby prior. They all did significant damage with loss of life. They are still counting bodies with Helene and just starting the clean up process and assessment of loss of life with Milton.
Hurricanes Frances, Charley, Michael, Irma and Ian are all Cat 4 or 5 hurricanes. All of these hurricanes packed a powerful punch to Florida, as did recently, Helene, Milton and Debby.
Yes, Florida is prone to hurricanes but I've also live here 30 years with a definite quiet period for quite sometime. Sure they are cyclical, but what we've seen this year has been unprecedented. So, personally I believe using lasers to control/create weather is plausible. I never thought so until this year. The devastation and the areas that were hit -- primarily Republican populace. Prior hurricanes that I mentioned as well -- primarily Republican voting populace.
