> If the media says a hurricane hit Florida, almost everyone trusts that. You probably shouldn't. I read media reports that Ian was in the top N (maybe 3?) storms ever to hit Florida.

National weather-related media mostly plays to left coast biases: it treats routine hurricanes (and other routine windstorms) as existential risks but the threat of major earthquakes (for example) as routine.
