The biggest effect of hurricanes doing tons of damage is everyone's insurance premiums just go up. This hurts poor people way more than rich people, it's super regressive. Unless you're so poor you're just off the grid or bouncing between trailers, in which case no insurance baby! Jackpot!

What do you think will happen to the rich that will have taken the earliest first class flight out of the way of the storm that will in any way lead to their suffering from hurricane damage? the very rich have an awful lot of their self worth tied up in their possessions, it hurts them to see that precious antique they bought at auction destroyed. it was irreplaceable!!!!

The best way to get a hurricane to target the rich is to set up a bunch of guillotines where the wind can turn them into capitalist-seeking missiles.

Kind of wish it would nudge it to the west after landfall, just a tad to hit the DC area just enough to convince NOAA to let us work from home. Nobody comes in on friday anyway, but it would be nice to not have to feel bad about it.

Misspoke lmao. So there is 20 reported casualties but they are expecting more. But I think of the long term casualties as well. Like disease and exposure will be loving terrible. We need to send a hospital navy ship. ASAP.

Weird hot take/conspiracy theory: what if they are trying to downplay death toll so as not to negatively affect their tourism industry? The current numbers just seem unbelievably low.

It's not uncommon for that number to be low in the initial wake of a major disaster, with the infrastructure shambles most of the relief efforts focused on helping survivors. There are probably thousands of missing persons, but it's too soon and resources are too scant for their status to be verified.

They’re never going to get a fully accurate death toll since I’m sure there will be people who are never found that got swept out to sea

So there is a rapidly emerging humanitarian crisis in the Bahamas: https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1169461904382791681?s=19 Reports from the ground in Abaco and Grand Bahama Island indicate 90-100 percent destruction of all structures across both Islands. The majority of those who survived have lost all their caches of food and water, the vast majority of heavy equipment that was on the island has been destroyed. The ports are completely inaccessible, and the airport is similarly completely inaccessible. https://twitter.com/CBS21NEWS/status/1169395970057990145?s=19 https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1169311728913588225?s=19 At present Abacos and Grand Bahamas islands are more or less uninhabitable, and it is going to take a tremendous amount of work to even begin to address the problems there. The more immediate crisis though is the inability to get any significant amount of supplies onto Grand Bahamas island- all that's available right now are a few helicopters and small seaplanes. What really needs to happen right now is something on the level of the United States Marines rolling in to provide logistical support, as they are one of the few groups in the world that has the kind of landing craft necessary to get on and off such devastated beaches. Heavy equipment and food / water / medical supplies need to be brought in oh, and people need to be brought out. This is starting to happen with what' available, but what's available simply isn't remotely close to meeting the need. I don't know what's going to happen- but I know that Trump/Miller et all would be more than happy to sit on their thumbs and watch the Bahamas descend into chaos as food/water supplies rapidly run out. I hope someone with some serious logistical capability steps up and pledges Aid to the Bahamas soon, because this really is a case where a state actor needs to step in. Private efforts pribably aren't going to be enough to do anything but buy time for a state actor to step in. Fake Edit: according to this video the runway has been cleared- but aircraft still cannot use the airport because the tower has been effectively destroyed by flooding, as has all the aviation fuel. https://twitter.com/AC360/status/1169472617155137538?s=19

Honestly this seems like prime situation to roll a few of our aircraft carriers in there as I believe they can generate fresh water, plus provide a way to move man and material on and off the islands.

when the water subsides are people going to continue living on the islands? i feel like they shouldnt, and everyone should be marked as a refugee and they should be allowed to move.

I do think tourism spots tend to do this with murders and disappearances(Aruba with Natalee Holloway and Cruise Ships where people go missing). I don't see why they would cover up the death count of one of the biggest hurricanes ever, though.

Prester Jane posted:. Aircraft can operate without the control tower. It's also close enough to other airports in the US and Bahamas that refueling isn't necessary for most aircraft.
