Brother, dial up Citizens Insurance from Florida, the largest Government Sanctioned Entity which the State of Florida bails out after hurricanes, and which recently expanded beyond 1,000,000 policy holders becuse they could not find insurance in the private markets.
The Free market won’t insure your home? See DeSantis and “Vote For Ron to Continue the Con”.
Most of these newly arrived red hats in the Keys would lose their homes were it not for Citizens Insurance GSE; however, they are sweating it now and retirees are asking for work because they can’t afford the recent double-digit rise in Citizens premiums. The couple nearest where I live have both gone back to work, andI’m going to keep an eye on their place while they are hustling at jobs 5-6 days a week.
Here, let me give you a photo from the “salt ponds” near my home. See this road?
When we first moved here 15 years ago it might flood 2-3 times a year on Kings Tide.
Today, this same road floods every month on full moons (we just had that happen) with saltwater, fish fingerlings, sea snakes, etc, and who knows how many times in-between?
“Well yeah, Rock, that road is mud and also sinking from subsidence.”
"Yes, that is correct. And that is why the old US1 near me, repaved as a bike path a few years ago, is flooding as much as this dirt road. The road this dirt road leads to floods at its end where there’s a boat ramp. The boat ramp floods so badly now we find sea weed lines and dead fish metting in the center of the road and past a small military base which just poured a new concret pad because the old one floods to often.
(Boat ramp as seen through my farm truck windshield:)
Mind you, this salt pond is 1 mile from the Gulf and 1 mile from the Atlantic. This road leading to the boatramp is a perfect testament to sea level rise and salt water extrusion through our porous coral rock pedastel upon which our disappearing land exists. This road floods to the center line and will probably this year go over that line on high tides.

I have lost count of the special treatment of Ocean Reef Club residents (very top of the Upper Keys) and who lives there. It’s Galt Gulch in the Keys. And DeathSentence sent them this late Christmas gift a few years ago while us lesser mortals suffered downstream in the Keys:
Mind you, this whole damn Key, with its private fire department and private cops, everybody, got the vaccine from the bad ole Federal gubmint sending Ron the drugs to inject into their wealthiest donors. Meanwhile, us lesser mortals downstream in the Keys below were dying in numbers down here which the state many times reported to the CDC. (I wrote about this on the old Pandemic board and also told you the story of 7 old people dying in a Marathon rest home, the State runs down here, cremates the bodies and doesn’t list them as “deaths from COVID” with the CDC. Before the State did this coverup, our county morgue said these 7 died from COVID and that 3 more were expected dead from COVID, but the state took those bodies in refirgerated trucks to the mainland for “disposal.”
This is why I affectionately call us “The Great Banana Republic of Florida - Where Grifters Turn Pro!”
