I get that the ocean has a limitless supply of coolant, but why do they keep putting them there in spite of the risks

reminder that SUPERSTORM sandy was sub-category 1 and that an actual hurricane would bring with it a much more considerable storm surge than what flooded nyc and jersey

and yeah the mta hasn't meaningfully improved their sites to withstand any future flooding beyond just putting in a buncha watertight doors, to say nothing for other critical infrastructure

it's a huge problem, tho depressingly not that surprising - fema was still doing katrina work in new orleans in 2013

Sandy existed because a hurricane corpse hosed a nor'ester and jizzed all over NY/NJ, it wasn't just a hurricane.

Harvey was only 80 some dead though. If it does not landfall at cat 4-5 then the danger is flooding, and in general not that many die from floods they know are coming since you need to be trapped in some way to avoid rescue completely. Like in that warning list earlier, it's people in cars, the elderly, and children most at risk since grown adults can often clamber into a roof or something and avoid actually dying.

So hopefully he is right.

Harvey was different because it sat on Houston for a week straight, conveyor belting the gulf into the city until it pushed the crust an inch into the mantle - this seems like it would be more of a Rita-type situation. Or not, whatever.

I do in the sense of death to the confederacy/death is extremely good, but not when it affects actual people.

NPR had an interview with someone from new bern and the interviewer kept asking "don't you think you should leave since people will have to risk their lives to save you?" and their response was basically, lol nah, that's their job, i'm not to worried about it.

tjey've got a bit of a point there, 1st responders constantly want their dicks sucked, maybe they should earn it

1800 people died in a tsunami less than two weeks ago and it barely made a blip in western media.

I wonder if a part of that is because it looked puny in comparison to the previous two tsunamis

also no one in the west cares about developing world death totals <50k
