Does the same apply to fires on the west coast?

 

15 years was enough for me….

 

For certain sections of the state, yes. At least until controlled burns reduce the dry undergrowth that is fueling the massive fires.

I empathize with those dealing with these natural disasters and hope all remain safe. My comment relates to what happens when the disaster ends. Are we really rebuilding again, just hoping that it won’t happen for the second, third, or fourth time?

 

I flew into Ft Meyers Saturday was literally there 90 minutes when the hurricane warning came out. Had to drive our rental car back home. Luckily we had a really nice Ford Expedition but was a brutal drive took almost 13 hours to get from Ft Meyers to Savannah, Ga. Traffic was horrible. Made it back to MD today.

 

I have a 2023 3.5, 4x4 short bed and it makes a audible thunk (noise coming from the back of thruck) when I start moving from a stop. It sounds very similar to your video. I have read one other report of this happening and the dealer took the drive shaft off the rear end and greased the input shaft and then put the drive shaft back on. I have not been under my truck to figure out exactly where the noise is coming from, but it does appear to be from the drive train.

 

Most houses that are right on the coast down there are owners risk. If you can even get homeowners insurance it would cost a fortune. "We" don't rebuild such houses.

Over all the years and hurricanes, most of Florida has never been "rebuilt".
