Well I'll tell you what's not funny, right now Rick DeSantis is at home crying like a little girl!
Nobody is doing this though. That's lib shit.
Literally the only silver lining I can find in this whole thing is that it could potentially destroy the home insurance industry to the point that Florida becomes completely unlivable. If nothing can be insured nobody can live there. That's kinda the only good thing that could possibly happen out of this.
Also all violence against settlers is self defense and I gotta say this specific event is 100% mother nature being violent in self defense.

Gonna toss in my own spicy take: climate disaster is the genocide of the poor by the rich, and framing it in this manner absolves the perpetrators.
It is inevitable. As a Floridian our insurance industry is on pace to crash head on into a wall and nobody can stop it. We COULD MAYBE expand Citizen's, which is a government run/backed insurance that is currently only used for those who otherwise cannot get insurance anywhere else, but nope. Our Republican leadership absolutely don't want that. Instead they deliberately make sure Citizens is just this side of too expensive as not to "compete" with the market and if you qualify for any other insurance they must kick you off of it.
The failure of insurance in Florida is such a huge strike against capitalism and they know that and will do anything to make sure it doesn't happen. In fact, recently they relaxed regulations for small shop insurers here. What that means is we will have more startup insurance companies insure people for cheap, get more claims against them on a big hurricane than they have capital, pay out what they can and leave everyone else in the weeds. Total loss. It's fucked.
And they won't even be the first. We have an official graveyard dedicated to all the insurers killed this way. Another for the pile.

Insurance as a private industry is so stupid. They extract profits to protect people from catastrophic losses, but then when something catastrophic happens, the government has to step in to save the industry. We've seen it with the risk pools that states have had to create to keep health insurers from pulling out of rural areas, with last resort programs for home insurance and flood insurance, the AIG bailout, and the built in bailouts of Obamacare.
Why do they get to collect the profits if they don't cover the risks?
is literally anybody doing this
There's the Slammer post which is coated in enough layers of irony that I can't confidently tell you whether I have any issue with it. 
it's pretty weird to be getting mad at fellow hexbears for making jokes about this when almost the entire internet is covered with Zionists celebrating far worse things happening simultaneously though.
oh, so we're just doing another struggle session on "infinite genocide on the first world" / "america deserved 9/11" i guess
