Absolutely mind-boggling.
If one wanted to devastate Houston with a hurricane, you couldn't *design* a more effective storm than Harvey.
It's looking the same for Irma for devastating Miami and the entire Florida economy. Charleston, SC seems likely to be devastated as well.
Florida thrives on its reputation for idyllic weather and big, beautiful, long beaches. Much of the Atlantic coast of Florida *already* has had problems with progressive beach erosion. Sand gets imported and dredged from far away already. Entire beach communities may suddenly have no beach at all.
Its almost as if Mother Nature has decided to declare war against the SE US. And Trump, too, with two major properties of his set to be devastated.
With lots of advance warning for Florida, I'm cautiously optimistic that loss of life will be relatively low.
