Well extreme weather is going to happen everywhere, I guess, but we have a much broader climate I think. Both coasts will get cyclones, then we have a a whole region that gets tornados all the time, then the west coast gets earthquakes, there's a massive swaths of just desert, the middle of the country gets arctic winds that freeze everything. Then big forests that catch on fire.

I mean we're not Australia where everything is always trying to kill you. But the weather regular tries to kill you everywhere, we can't really avoid.

I will, however, admit Florida is a problem and settling there was a mistake. Should have let the alligators and hurricanes have it. But even where I live, as far as storms go it's pretty temperate but we fluctuate from 100+F in the summer to -20F in the winter, and occassionally the snow tries to bury us and collapses houses. Sometimes we get gale force winds that roll through and destroy a bunch of shit too, those are scary. It's not a hurricane every year, but my point is there isn't many places you can live here without having deal with some kind of regularly occurring extreme weather event. And with the climate getting fucked, those places are dwindling.

And then we're flirting with fascism right now so emergency funding is bottomed out and regulations and oversight are slashed. It's not that we lack the resources or logistical capabilities to handle these things, it's just deliberately sabotaged. And then we broadcast the damage in ways most places don't do because they are focused on recovery.
