Of course, more people in harms way now plus 24/7 reporting. -
Well said. My exact feelings. Natural disasters or not some eco systems are too sensitive to handle the population numbers we see today. Coastal Florida prime example. I can remember the day our bays were not the brown froth we see today.

We have always been susceptible to catastrophic weather.

Doesn’t have to be “abnormally dry”, just dry. I recall the late 60’s when the Talledega National Forest and bordering properties experienced several wild fires after a spring and summer drought. Same thing more recent in the Florida Panhandle. They do seem to manage a bit better in Florida. Continually having controlled overgrowth burns. Almost daily prior to Hurricane Michael on and around Tyndall.

Looks like Greenland is willing to negotiate https://thehill.com/policy/international/5080779-greenland-prime-minister-donald-trump/ “Egede was asked during a press conference in Copenhagen on Friday if he was in touch with the president-elect. He said no, but added that “we are ready to talk.”

Still in the arsenal collection from a few posters on this board. Not a bad thread to throw in on a bash Maga week

Right.

Why insurance companies are pulling out of California
SaltyTiger replied to creed's topic in Political Smack Talk
Construction cost are significantly higher in vulnerable areas. My thoughts always go back to over development and piss poor planning. New Orleans a bit different breed of cow. It is what it is. -

And New Orleans -
Of course, we can build a flame resistant structure. Fatigued? Inauguration not even here yet.

Fire resistant and fire wall codes are are in place allowing occupants to hopefully be somewhat smoke free and allow time to get out of harms way. Not sure any amount of water pumped from a normal fire water system could contain these wild fires. Obviously lots of overbuilding and wind providing fuel for these fires. Will say that Trump is way out of line politicizing this thing.

Biggest thing I notice is who is not in it.

Wise move

Thanks. Trump and his blabbering not helping one bit. Another case of poor development planning in a vulnerable area. Feel for those folks. Been through the aftermath of a hurricane. I will take a couple of hours and done any day over the continual hell I am seeing. Not sure you could pump enough water to extinguish a fire fueled by high winds.

May as well get used to it. Jumped out of bed early every morning to see what Trump had tweeted at 3:00 AM last go around.
