Heh, American news has been like this 24-7 for as long as Hurricane Matthew was nearby. Either news stations think people cannot comprehend, or they themselves cannot comprehend, what the weather is without sending at least a dozen highly-paid professionals with backgrounds in war reporting or other fields to stand out in said weather, and constantly cycling between them as they all slip and fall over. (Bonus: If the weather is extreme temperatures, this can only be demonstrated by trying to cook something on the asphalt or the hood of a car, or showing how a random piece of fruit is frozen by using it as a hammer or a nail while senselessly destroying some plank of wood.)

What amazes me also is that a good portion of the population there doesn't even have insurance. I can only imagine that the gov is expected to foot the bill like in Katrina. You would think stuff like being prepared to evacuate and take losses for emergencies like this would be common sense for people living there since it isn't exactly rare.

That good portion might not be able to afford it, same deal like in Katrina. Just because it isn't rare, it doesn't make it any less difficult for people who are already in troubling positions prior to the disaster.

Insurance goes up each time. And in the end insurers refuse to cover because they have to pay out, which is contrary to reason for the insurance people.
Anyway, apart from Katrina where the government agencies were at some fault (( as for urges for citizen engagement, any of the inhabitants streaming out long before disaster to repair/build levees themselves would have been forced back at gunpoint )) if government doesn't want to face the bill they should stop people from living in vulnerable places --- Keep Out : This Is Florida and refuse to sanction people being employed there.
