@Shazlandia mangroves are great and do protect against erosion. But in this situation they would not provide any protection.

@Shazlandia Honestly I am getting victim fatigue. This isn’t the first hurricane FL has experienced. They should know by now how to handle the effect of topographical changes due to societal influx & development. Perhaps FL should put a moratorium on 2nd home for East Coast Jews. In the meantime, pay the price. (Although I do believe this storm is weather manipulation to demoralize DeSanits

as a candidate)

@Shazlandia As if mangroves were going to stop 20 feet of ocean surge. Admittedly living this close to coast has its own set of issues, but mangroves certainly weren't saving people from this.

@Shazlandia Not mangroves or any amount of taxes paid for global warming will stop these events. I know a greedy stupid person that has a beachfront mansion on Martha’s Vineyard. Nature happens, act accordingly. We should be donating to hurricane victims not another 12 billion for Ukraine. I was very lucky this time

@Shazlandia Should people be living this close to the coast. Just seems risky.

@Shazlandia Agreed ! I feel that 90% of climate change is a bullshit narrative, but eliminating, swamps, mangroves and natural dunes makes the damage worse !! If I ever could afford ocean front property, I would build a house set back with dunes between me and the water ! Wouldn't matter in the worst of storms but would give better chance of survival.

@Shazlandia I'm pretty sure mangroves would have been underwater by a good 10' in that one...

@Shazlandia government must stop people from rebuilding in these areas. Same applies to bush fire prone areas.

@Shazlandia

Sit’n on on the dock of the bay....

watch’n all the homes wash away

@Shazlandia you won't send immigrants to Martha's vineyard again will you....
