William Fulford moved from Virginia Beach, Virginia, to a new waterfront development in Florida in 2023.

Climate resiliency and storm protection were built into the fabric of the homes.

The storm obliterated vast parts of Florida, including the surrounding areas of Hunters Point like Anna Maria Island and Bradenton.

Toppled palm tress lie alongside a road in Bradenton Beach on Anna Maria Island, Florida, on October 10, 2024.

Still, the developers went beyond the required 3 feet of fill dirt and used 7 feet instead to be safe.

The materials published by Klippenstein on his Substack in September appear to be related to a hack of the Trump campaign earlier this year, which the FBI has linked to Iran. »
