Hurricanes don’t just destroy buildings, they reshape communities. In this episode of Meteorology Matters, Rob Jones dives into how storms like Andrew, Katrina, and Ian left behind more than physical damage. From South Florida’s racial and ethnic divides, to gentrification in New Orleans, to today’s booming coastal housing markets, we explore how disasters deepen inequality.

In this episode of Meteorology Matters, we dive into how Hurricane Katrina reshaped New Orleans, not just physically, but politically and economically. We uncover how “disaster capitalism” and neoliberal urban policies turned the city into a laboratory for privatization, gentrification, and displacement. From skyrocketing rents and the demolition of public housing to the cultural erasure of long-time Black residents, New Orleans became a model for how crises can accelerate inequality in American

A federal judge in Miami has ordered the state of Florida to dismantle the "Alligator Alcatraz" immigrant detention facility in the Florida Everglades within 60 days, citing severe and irreparable environmental harm. This ruling, a significant victory for environmentalists and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians, prohibits further expansion and mandates the removal of specific infrastructure.

Hurricane Erin, the first Atlantic hurricane of 2025, has undergone an "unusually rapid intensification," rocketing from a tropical storm to a "catastrophic Category 5 hurricane" in less than 24 hours. While its center is not expected to make a direct landfall on the U.S. mainland, it poses significant threats of heavy rainfall, flash flooding, landslides, life-threatening surf, and rip currents in the Caribbean and along the U.S. East Coast.

There has been an unusual and concerning surge in Vibrio vulnificus infections and deaths across the southeastern United States, especially in Florida. This bacterium, commonly known as "flesh-eating bacteria," thrives in warm, brackish seawater and can cause severe, rapidly progressing illness, including necrotizing fasciitis, and has a high fatality rate. While infections are generally rare, experts describe the current situation as "certainly not normal" and are investigating potential

13% of Floridian Deaths can be attributed to hurricanes and tropical storms? Recent research from both South Korea and the United States reveals a significant and largely underestimated public health burden associated with tropical cyclones (hurricanes/typhoons). Beyond the immediate, direct deaths typically reported, these studies demonstrate a substantial "excess mortality" that can persist for weeks, months, and even years after a storm.
