Water is stronger than any human. No person should live close to a major body of water. Risking your life to do that can kill you. If you aren't killed, you will likely lose everything you have.
I was a real estate broker at one time and was going to show a person a house in a swell neighborhood with water on two sides of the neighborhood. The lady running the company, who had a house in that neighborhood, told me not to tell the possible buyer that those houses are in the flood zone unless the buyer asked.
I said I couldn't do that. She said that is what insurance is for. I told the buyer it was in the flood zone. She bought a house not in that area.
So, a hurricane comes and the company owner's house flooded. She came totally unglued, was a basket case. I had no sympathy for her - she had insurance so what was her problem? You see, it was okay if she sold a house in there and it flooded, but it was a disaster if hers flooded.
Water is pretty and fun, but it is very dangerous. The people in the northeast near the water who lost everything or have heavily damaged houses, should leave there for good.
There is no location on this planet that doesn't have SOME way to kill you, quickly or slowly.
Our job as sentients is to anticipate the threats and prepare for them, or avoid them.
