   @chu What if I chose to live there too? You can’t do what I do unless you live with that risk. It’s a preference I have to be by water to take video and be underwater. That comes with consequences.
   
   Now expecting everyone to pay for this damage is absurd. However the ones who take the risk if they can afford it or want to? Then so be it.
   
   Don’t tell me what to do essentially. I won’t ask you to pay for it.
   
   Ohh and keep in mind my hobby brought the world the true story of climate change and how we all go extinct if we don’t knock it off. That was my doing. I blew the doors on it wide open. The spinning fish of the Florida Keys.
   
   So to say people shouldn’t live places means science doesn’t get done and we just ignore the problems. I no longer live there and it’s still just as bad. Without me there it’s a dead end on information. So there needs to be purpose too. Not just sunshine and paradise. We need real science on this all.

     @chu This is not the answer you need to recognize what’s happening that we need to build appropriate. If you look at Irma and Florida keys. You will see the modern houses built to withstand did fine. The modern houses in ft myers did fine. The reality is building houses for wind and storm surge is possible.
     
     If you look at it through the right lens that will get you far. If we block off massive areas of the country do to risk where do you stop? That’s not really viable way to do this. There is so much risk called life.
     
     Yes I’ve been though many storms myself and I lived through hurricane Andrew’s shit. That makes what happened there look tame in NC. So like what just give up?
     
     What hazards are acceptable? That’s a race to the bottom.
