Hello, Insiders. I'm settling back into work after the long weekend, so I figured I'd keep my note brief. We launched this newsletter in October. It's a lot of fun to work on. But my favorite part? Getting to hear directly from you. In case you missed my request the other day, I wanted to ask again: Could you fill out a quick four-question survey about the newsletter? We want to make sure we're getting you the fascinating stories you're looking for — so my team and I would love any feedback you have for us. Here's the survey. (Of course, you can also email insidertoday@insider.com.) With that, let's get started. — Nicholas Carlson |

The thousand-odd islands that make up the Florida Keys are one of a kind. The islands have a special, addictive quality. But over the past few years, the residents of these islands have been forced to confront a phenomenon that will affect millions of Americans before the end of the century: Nature is changing, and today's hurricanes tend to be stronger, wetter, and less predictable than before. Hurricane Irma, which slammed the Keys in September 2017, may not have destroyed the Keys in one stroke — but the storm ran down the clock on life on the islands. Hundreds of people have felt forced to leave, particularly as affordable housing options are affected by unpredictable weather. The Keys' present calamity offers a glimpse of Americans' national future. |
