Is Miami Prepared for the Next Big Hurricane? Evaluating the Risks
Doug McIntyre and David Callaway discuss the potential catastrophic impact of a major hurricane on Miami. Doug highlights the city’s vulnerability, noting that much of it is below sea level and would be devastated by a hurricane like Beryl. Despite this, Miami continues to attract investment firms and new residents, drawn by Florida’s no income tax policy. Callaway points out that while efforts are being made to build seawalls and other defenses, these measures might only be a facade. The city remains at significant risk, just one major hurricane away from disaster.
