A 50-foot section of one of the three spans that connects Sanibel Island with the Florida mainland collapsed overnight because of damage caused by Hurricane Ian, a storm that hit land as a Category 3 hurricane that Republicans believe was most definitely not fueled by higher ocean temperatures caused by climate change, so it must be because God just doesn’t like Florida and how Florida’s state leaders promote hate and bigotry, ’cause Pat Robertson says God directs hurricanes to places He isn’t happy with.
Florida authorities have shut down the remaining Sanibel Causeway bridges to all vehicles except emergency traffic until engineers can inspect the remaining two spans before opening them to civilian vehicles. Sanibel Island is home to about 6,500 people.
