Then again the way deaths get attributed to things in this country (and probably everywhere?) is pretty fucking retarded. If you smoke from age 18 to age 19 and then quit and die at age 107 they attribute your death to being a fucking smoker. I'm sure they would try to attach someone dying in Alaska to Katrina if they could somehow verify that said Alaskan vacationed to NO at any point in their lifetime.
Also, everyone freaks out every time there is any sort of big storm saying "OMG it's horrible everybody is going to die, every record possible broken! 750 feet of snow/flooding, the fires will literally engulf 62% of the landmass of the US" etc. it's pretty ridiculous. Will some people die? Yes. Will shit get destroyed? Yes. Is the entire state of FL going to become an inhabitable rubble pile? No.
Edit: Also, with how much more advanced our technology becomes over the years, it kind of bugs me even more how much people freak out over stupid shit claiming things have never occured before at some point in time. What exactly were our hurricane monitoring capabilities in 1975? How about 1945? How about 1905? Oh, if it didn't happen in the past 20 years I guess it's just never happened before!

It may look ugly but Naha has this figured out. There is no where to evacuate so there is more incentive to actually plan for this I guess. I sat through one pretty big typhoon. There were a bunch of broken trees to clean up otherwise everyone just sat inside and watched it pass by. I did see some adjacent buildings with ceramic tiles on the side lose a few of the tiles from the winds but it was not that big of a deal.
Random street view of what it takes to long term prepair for this weather.
Pretty much everything looks like that... A city of concrete...

In that comparison, it would have missed all the key important buildings that would eventually find each other, team up, and destroy Irma and Jose at a later point once they've upgraded.

Rofl, same in Orlando. The Mariott next to the bar I was drinking at tonight in Lake Mary has all these trapped people from the Avatar cult who are having their "workshop". Space cadets wandering outside aimlessly and want to experience the hurricane. Only in Florida. The biggest problem so far I have heard from people I know is that you have to buy alcohol before noon tomorrow. Nobody seems to give a fuck and just post memes. Many Darwin awards will be won in the next few days.Everyone in Sarasota, Bradenton, Saint Pete are just putting storm shutters and shit up and throwing Hurricane parties. Sad this picture is fucking accurate as shit. Makes me regret moving back to this state at times.

How many damn people live there?
Shit just looked. 73,000 in 2010. Probably 80k now which is the size of my town. I just assumed it was like 1000 or so.
Wait first answer says Florida Keys 73k in 2010 then the 2016/17 demographic says 24.7k That is 2 wildly different answers. 83% white
