[Laugh-till-u-cry]

Yeah always amazes me they know there’s always gonna be hurricanes in Florida so why do they keep building houses out of wood

Florida officials were asking people that did not want to evacuate to mark their bodies displaying birthdates and names in permanent marker so they could be easily identified.

And this America, is why the rest of the world build houses out of bricks and mortar. Not MDF, chipboard and drywall..

Prayers for the souls and their loved ones.

Could have been worse. It hit a low populated stretch of the coast. Insurance premiums will continue to rise in Florida.

Lord Ali the main Stonewall funder is now funding our Prime Minister.... think about that.

40 is a lot for a developed country. Mustn't have wanted to evacuate.

[philiphorner]

Crazy people live where 140mph winds happen.

In Taiwan we have Typhoons which are stronger than Hurricanes...2x a year during monsoon we build houses out of steel reinforced concrete with thick steel beam framing nothing breaks except sometimes windows. Dont build houses out of toothpicks and cardboard

Your headline is incorrect .There were not 40 killed in the state of Florida . That is the sum total across 5 states . Most were far from the landfall of the storm .

[MrChaos]

now lets go and build in the exact same spot, florida man ya think they would have learnt by now

[roninhood]

🙏 Condolences to all who have lost someone.

[LeChairman]

They should be thankful that the state of Florida preserved their freedom to not evacuate. The state has truly exceptional leadership by 3rd world standards.
