I wouldn't own a house on N. Padre Island for that reason, but fear of hurricanes is reasonable all along our coast from Mexico to New England.

Warning people of that is like warning them of the possibility of earthquakes in California or tornadoes in the midwest.

Yeah but ....
I live in tornado country and I have a shelter. I watch the storms very closely when they come.

I guess earthquakes are kinda the same. Though one can improve one’s odds by choosing carefully what sort of house one lives in. Can’t do much about a freeway overpass falling on you though.

What a lot of noobs to hurricane country don’t figure into their deliberations however is the difficulty in getting out in an evacuation. Which is what I referenced.
