The NYers will just have to raise the level of the city and build a seawall like my grandfather and the residents of Galveston did after the 1900 storm. Actually my grandfather didn't help build up the island, he left as soon as he finished helping pick up 6000 to 10,000 bodies that were killed by the storm. The residents of NY will luckily have all kinds of heavy equipment, the Galveston residents had mules and shovels. I don't think people are that tough anymore.

That wall is amazing. Granite, too, if I recall correclty. It’s not going anywhere.

And no, people aren’t that tough anymore.
