Members phkrause Posted November 14, 2024 Author Members Posted November 14, 2024 Tropical Storm Sara forms in Caribbean, could threaten Florida next week The National Hurricane Center said Tropical Storm Sara formed in the Caribbean on Thursday and long-term forecast models show it could enter the Gulf of Mexico and turn toward Florida’s Gulf Coast. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/14/tropical-depression-19-forms-forecast-to-become-tropical-storm-sara-could-threaten-florida-next-week/? Will people leave Florida after devastating hurricanes? History suggests not Along Florida’s storm-battered Gulf Coast residents are making calculations about whether they should stay or go. Can they afford to rebuild? What will insurance cover? Those considering moving to Florida are contemplating whether it’s worth the risk to live in a hurricane-prone state. Read more. Key points: If moves into the state offer any answer, then hurricanes offer little deterrent. Florida’s population has grown by one-third to 23 million in the two decades since Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Jeanne and Ivan ravaged the state. Last year, Florida added more than 365,000 residents, second only to Texas among states. On the other hand, there are signs that Florida’s white-hot real estate market has cooled. Sales of single-family homes were down 12% in September, compared with the year-earlier period. But interest rates, rising home prices and skyrocketing insurance costs likely had a bigger impact than weather systems. Studies of hurricanes along the Gulf Coast have shown that any outbound migration tends to be short-lived, and if people do leave, it’s usually a short-distance move. Older people with more financial resources are more likely to return to devastated communities. Other factors that determine how quickly communities bounce back include whether homes were insured, the speed of insurance reimbursements and whether there are enough construction workers.

Members phkrause Posted November 15, 2024 Author Members Posted November 15, 2024 Tropical Storm Sara A new tropical system that will eventually strengthen into Tropical Storm Sara is brewing in the Caribbean. Powerful upper-level winds protected the Gulf Coast from Hurricane Rafael last week, but there could be an opening for tropical trouble to reach the US next week. Heavy rainfall is forecast to lead to life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides across Central America in the coming days, particularly affecting Honduras, Belize, El Salvador and western Nicaragua, the National Hurricane Center said. The potential impacts on the eastern Gulf of Mexico, including Florida, the Florida Keys and Cuba, remain uncertain, and people in those areas should closely monitor forecasts. Tropical Storm Sara forms in Caribbean, now forecast to fall apart on way to Gulf of Mexico The National Hurricane Center said Tropical Storm Sara formed in the Caribbean on Thursday, but its forecast path over Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula now has it falling apart by the time it reaches the Gulf of Mexico.
