Watching numerous reporters standing, kneeling, being blown backwards and otherwise making fools of themselves with Hurricane Ian in the background struck me as a wierd kind of disaster porn. Similarly, today, the same reporters will show piles of rubble and speculate on the cleanup, interviewing dazed survivors and intoning about how it all could have been much worse.
There will be much speculation about climate change as the tens of billions of dollars it will take to rebuild becomes apparent. The usual suspects will intone that weather is weather and we can't attribute any one storm to climate change. Rinse and repeat.
