ultimately, climate is gonna bring the US down.

because our government is totally incapable of maintaining our infrastructure, nyc is still doing a ton of work to repair hurricane Sandy damage (from 2012!!). Next April they're gonna completely shut down a big subway tunnel for 15 months of repair, and this will paralyze a good portion of Brooklyn.

If we get another Sandy in the next 5 years all of the repairs they've done will be wiped out because they've done literally nothing in terms of damage prevention.

anyways I can imagine a scenario happening where an unlucky hurricane year basically wipes out the mass transit of most east coast cities for a decade, which would tank the economy big time

Yeah, America is in the middle of the biggest self-own in history and mother Earth is happy to help us along

I'm probably going to be fine. Did a survey of my house and we can weather anywhere from 6 to 10 inches. Might be uncomfortable if we lose power for a week or more but it won't be deadly. All our lines are buried and we're pretty close to the nearest power substation. Our neighborhood only has young trees, too, which aren't likely to cause much damage if they get uprooted. We're on a hill as well, far away from the nearest flood zone. We're prepared for a few days of heavy rain and winds. As I said, a prolonged, uncomfortable time without power is our major concern.

Ok but are you ready for 93 inches

Also, the real cause is that PG&E is a loving shitshow that spent a decade secretly siphoning money out of their maintenance fund to pay for executive bonuses and stock dividends
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-puc-hearing-20150325-story.html

I assume SoCal Edison is equally corrupt, considering the shitshow a few years ago with the Aliso Canyon gas leak

Yeah they are and funnily enough both pg&e and socal Edison reported anomalies to the state immediately before the fires we're first reported. Both reports occurred within a mile of the recorded fire origin points.

It's audio only, but it's pretty funny and they energy companies are lobbying hard to have the state make them exempt from liability for fires caused by their infrastructure lmao
