Maybe there have been years as bad as this. I haven’t been paying attention for very long, in the big scheme of things. This hurricane season seems… just cruel.
Harvey was bad. Irma was horrible. Now comes Maria and you just have to hope the oceans cool down and steal the strength from anything yet to form far out in the Eastern Atlantic.
The Keys got clobbered. Rebuilding is going to take a while. Robbies pretty well rolled over, a place so full of fond memories for thousands of Keys-goers.

This is the result of climate change/global warming. These are the consequences that the scientists have been warning us about for years. This unfortunately may be the new norm for what the hurricane season looks like. The saddest part of it is all the science denial within the GOP and the White House. The DoD has seen this coming and issued this warning to congress in 2015: https://www.defense.gov/News/Article/Article/612710/
