    Maybe in proper houses they would be fixing broken windows instead of finding bodies.

    “it’s not the time to discuss solutions to this” seems to be the American way of dealing with any disaster, from hurricanes to mass shootings.

      A proper house won’t save people from fucking 25 FEET (7.6 meters) to 50 FEET of flooding in a hurricane. A ship can’t even save them because it’ll get knocked into houses. Same thing with a sub. There’s weather you can’t survive.

      it’s not the time to discuss solutions to this

      I never stated that. I am just unwilling to go over every building material pedantically when the problem - overwhelming climate events - isn’t going to be fixed with fucking concrete blocks.

        So don’t build in flood-prone areas.

          Wow, amazing thought. Tell me how the literal Appalachian mountains are a flood plain or flood prone.
