Ligt eraan hoe lang hij boven water blijft. Temperatuur is daar tussen de 26 en 29 graden.quote:Op donderdag 29 september 2022 10:36 schreef -Sigaartje het volgende:

Orkanen komen wel vaker voor, wat is daar ongelofelijk aan?quote:Op donderdag 29 september 2022 10:36 schreef -Sigaartje het volgende:

Het zakt af naar ongeveer 100 kilometer per uur (65 mijl per uur), dus het zal dit keer in Georgia en South Carolina wel gaan meevallen.quote:Op donderdag 29 september 2022 10:56 schreef Enchanter het volgende:

Volgens mij is de verwachting dat hij weer sterker word.quote:Op donderdag 29 september 2022 15:32 schreef Idisrom het volgende:

Meer analyse en data in het artikel.quote:Florida’s insurance woes could make Ian’s economic wrath even worse
ORLANDO — The economic devastation left behind by Hurricane Ian in Florida is likely to put further pressure on the state’s fragile insurance system.
About a dozen firms that provide homeowners insurance in Florida have become insolvent in the past two years, according to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, leaving hundreds of thousands of property owners scrambling for coverage. Many Florida homeowners in flood-prone areas don’t carry flood insurance, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has said — despite the fact that many policies don’t cover flood damage.
A Fitch Ratings analysis Thursday estimated insured cost losses could be from $25 billion to $40 billion in the state. Brandes estimated that only around 20 percent of residents in the areas under evacuation orders have federal flood insurance and many others don't have adequate property insurance given the scale of the destruction.
A unique confluence of factors makes Florida an exceptionally difficult place for private insurers to do business, and for homeowners to find affordable comprehensive plans from private companies. As Ian has shown, the state is susceptible to dangerous weather events, something that's likely to increase over time because of climate change. Insurance companies' risk models, which incorporate thousands of years of weather data, have proved unreliable when it comes to the most recent storms, said Danielle Lombardo, chair of the Global Real Estate Practice at Lockton, an independent insurance brokerage and consultancy.

At least 81 people in Florida have died due to Hurricane Ian, according to local officials.
Four additional people were also reported dead due to the storm in North Carolina, the governor's office said.
The Category 4 storm slammed into Florida's southwest coast Wednesday afternoon, causing catastrophic damage, fierce winds and dangerous, record-breaking storm surges.
The deaths span multiple counties in Florida, including 42 in Lee County, 23 in Charlotte County, five in Volusia County, three each in Collier and Sarasota counties, two in Manatee County, and one each in Hillsborough, Lake and Hendry counties, ABC News has determined based on information from the Florida Medical Examiners Commission and inquiries with local officials and authorities.
The death toll from the catastrophic storm has been rising amid ongoing search and rescue missions.
Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said that upward of 700 people were rescued in the devastated county.
"It's what a heavy heart that I say that number," Marceno, whose county is home to hard-hit Fort Myers and the barrier island Sanibel, said in video posted to Facebook.
The causes of the deaths in Florida were primarily drownings, as well as two vehicle accidents and a roofing accident, officials said.
It is unclear whether the state's figure overlaps with ABC News' analysis.
The state confirms deaths by reviewing medical examiner records, which can take some time.
The confirmed deaths from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement occurred in Lake, Sarasota, Manatee, Volusia and Collier counties between Sept. 27 and 30. The victims ranged in age from 22 to 91. One, a 68-year-old woman, drowned after being swept into the ocean by a wave on Sept. 29, the department said.
The Volusia County Sheriff's Office was among the first to publicly announce a fatality from Ian. A 72-year-old man in Deltona died after attempting to drain his pool during the storm, the office said Thursday.
The man, who was not publicly identified, "disappeared" after heading outside, the sheriff's office said. Deputies found him unresponsive in a canal behind the home and he was pronounced dead at a local hospital, the sheriff's office said.
The storm made landfall again on Friday in South Carolina, which has reported no deaths due to the storm so far, Gov. Henry McMaster said Saturday.
Though in neighboring North Carolina, four storm-related deaths have been reported, Gov. Roy Cooper said in a statement Saturday. Three involved vehicle accidents on Friday, with the victims ranging in age from 22 to 25. Additionally, a 65-year-old man died Saturday from carbon monoxide poisoning after running a generator in his closed garage while the power was out.
Emergency response was largely halted Wednesday as the storm slammed Florida with high winds and heavy rain. Search and rescue efforts were underway throughout the state Thursday.
Florida Rep. Kathy Castor, who represents the Tampa Bay area, called the situation a "major catastrophe."
"I'm afraid we're going to be dealing with a larger loss of life than we anticipated," she said on "ABC News Live" Thursday.
quote:Biden bezoekt Florida na verwoestende orkaan Ian
FORT MEYERS - De Amerikaanse president Joe Biden heeft woensdag een bezoek gebracht aan het door orkaan Ian getroffen gebied in de staat Florida. Hij keek samen met first lady Jill vanuit een helikopter naar de verwoestingen en beloofde hulp aan de getroffenen.
De precieze omvang van de schade is nog niet bekend, maar volgens Amerikaanse media gaat het waarschijnlijk om tientallen miljarden dollars. Het duurt volgens Biden jaren voordat Florida volledig is herbouwd. De federale overheid zal de staat extra financile steun bieden bij het opruimen van puin, het uitdelen van voedsel en de noodopvang van burgers.
„Vandaag hebben we n taak: de mensen van Florida geven wat ze nodig hebben om volledig te herstellen”, zei Biden. Hij benadrukte dat de inwoners zijn toewijding hebben en die van de Verenigde Staten. Ook vertelde hij dat zoek- en reddingsteams in Florida bij bijna 70.000 huizen hebben aangeklopt en 3800 mensen hebben gered.
Ian kwam vorige week als een orkaan van vierde categorie aan land in Florda. Hele wijken werden verwoest en miljoenen mensen kwamen zonder stroom te zitten. Volgens Amerikaanse media vielen er meer dan honderd doden. De orkaan zwakte flink af voordat die naar de staat South Carolina trok. Eerder had Ian ook al schade aangericht op Cuba.
quote:New NOAA report confirms Hurricane Ian as Cat 5 storm in the Gulf
According to a report from the National Hurricane Center, Hurricane Ian reached Category 5 intensity just before its September landfall in Southwest Florida.
The NHC says Ian intensified further after passing over western Cuba and the Dry Tortugas as a Category 3 and reached its peak intensity of 140 knots, which would put it at a Category 5, on Sept. 28.
The report mentions that, in terms of impact, “there is very little practical difference between a 140-kt Category 5 and a 135-kt Category 4 hurricane.”
