Myths About Hurricanes—Lessons From Hurricane Ian & Florida

A lot of what the media and politicians tell us about hurricanes is just WRONG.

Hurricane Ian destroyed parts of Florida.

As always, we’re told that only FEMA can provide relief.

That storms are worse because of climate change.

That “price gouging” is evil.

That federal flood insurance is necessary, and helps poor people.

Little of that is true.

Until we learn the myths about storms, we’ll make the same costly mistakes again and again.
