Big developers pay off politicians to be able to build in flood control areas. Insurance companies may collude by insuring them, and the rest of us who live prudently pay the resulting costs. As an experienced builder I hope President Trump will study the issue carefully. As to whether a climate warming trend is caused by human activity or not, there is a definite trend to warming. And warm sea water spawns very wet storms and greater flooding.
Meanwhile officials are reacting to possible crime danger like what happened in New Orleans.
So far very little looting as officials have made it clear they will heavily prosecute....20 yrs to life if caught now in a crisis situation as this.
