@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.
