Hurricane Florence Cam


Recommended Posts

Was in a cylone in 1991 up in Western Samoa, cyclone Val. The thing that puts the sh..ts up you is the noise. It is like a jumbo jet parked outside the window. Just when you think it cant increase in strength, it winds up a bit more. I was on land, would hate to have been at sea. One Aussie trawler in the area was lost.

No and nor should the government shoulder the costs and compensate those who buy in known risk prone areas.

I wonder if the driver in the NY Times piece is economic and it is cheaper to build in those areas that are exposed to hurricanes.

Do those residents carry home insurances and if so what sort of premiums do they pay compared to other less at risk areas.

9 million new residents over 16 years given the land area concerned is not that large in growth terms.
