That is insane as to the large scale of it...Even seeing it on video it's hard to imagine the wrath and destruction capabilities of such a storm.
From the reports I have seen it looks to have started in the Gulf of Mexico? I am no meteorologist but that seems like a lot in such a short distance...don't they usually start off the cost of Africa?

They start mid-Atlantic then swing around to wherever they please.
The number of tinfoil enthusiasts that are insinuating the Democrats are responsible for the number and increased size of the hurricanes is mind boggling. 
Then again, when push comes to shove, it's really the only explanation when you think about it. What are the odds you're going to see one hurricane let alone two hurricanes in a hurricane alley in the middle of hurricane season.

I’m sitting on my couch in Markham with a margarita in each hand.
Till a few minutes ago I was watching a webcam setup outside our place in Fort Myers. I saw stuff flying them the cam went dead.
We took a direct hit 2 years ago with Ian.
I think the climate may be changing.

Been texting on and off with a friend directly in Tampa Bay, but well away from the coast.
It’s nasty, but not so bad where he is.
He fears greatly for the coastline and storm surge damage.

Storm surge is the killer part of a hurricane in FL. Most buildings can handle the wind, but the power and damage from water is incredible.
Here’s a view from my 2nd floor bedroom, before and after Ian. Milton may be worse.
Cloud seeding is nothing new. The UAE seeds every cloud that wanders into their vicinity they're so desperate for rainfall. Then again, like it did back in April, things some times go sideways.
Wow.

The eruption of Tonga is likely a large part of the unstable weather of late.
No ....it's long over ...it had an effect of cooling for a year or so but that impact is long gone.

A new study builds on previous research of the underwater volcano’s effects on the climate.

What to do about it ...not so easy.
Friend HAD a house on an outer island off Tampa on Tuesday , house , two cars , Boston whaler all gone, His buddy had just moved in after loosing his house on Treasure Island a few days ago..
This will be a long rebuild , and these guys will build it all again.

I'm surprised there are any left at this point. Due to wildfires and hurricanes, many of the place people choose to live are not financially viable. People can rant about evil insurance companies all they want but if you are submitting claims that average five to six figures a year, you need to expect insurance premiums higher than that. There is zero reason to apply distributed risk if a specific area has much higher claims.
If I was building in a high risk zone now, I'd be strongly considering a concrete shell with large openings in water zones. Let the water wash through. Pressure wash the shell and refinish after each event. Fire shutters and roof sprinklers (with water, power, etc) for fire zones. You may get some damage but should come back to a functional shell at least.
