New Orleans is mostly below sea level. A hundred years of building
levees and pumping out groundwater and building ranch-style houses has
side effects. Hurricanes have been around forever.

Right, NOLA is pretty safe if the dykes are properly maintained. They'll probably need to be enlarged to account for sea level rise eventually.

He'll get cheap federally-subsidized flood insurance, which accounts
for a lot of current storm damage. People would be less likely to
build in scenic but flood-threatened areas if they had to pay market
prices for insurance.

And he can helicopter out before a storm hits.

Yeah kind of laughable that people gripe about whatever piddly little
money GM got to build some electric cars given how many billions get
subsidized constantly to help people with beach-front property rebuild
and rinse-repeat.

Hey, at least my car has never been flooded out once yet!

The issue is the definition of "species." The people who are in the
endangered-species industry need to identify as many small populations
of endangered species as possible. It's good for business, so they do.

A part of that 'business' is salmon fishery. it takes a full river system to
hatch and nourish the fry, and if the adults can't come back to the headwaters, the
salmon from other streams cannot take up the ecological niche.

So, the part of the 'species' definition that calls for viable reproduction sometimes makes
each river's population a separate species. There's complaints, but the
reasoning is logically and legally sound. Native ("Indian") fishing rights
deserve this protection.

People are rarely appreciated for preventing disasters. In Canada's
Winnipeg city some engineers convinced the Premier of the province to
spend a fortune on a diversion project called The Red River Floodway.

----------(Wikipedia)--------
The Floodway was pejoratively nicknamed "Duff's Ditch" by opponents of
its construction, after Premier Duff Roblin, whose Progressive
Conservative government initiated the project, partly in response to the
disastrous 1950 Red River flood. It was completed in time and under
budget. Subsequent events have vindicated the plan....

When I was a teenager, Betsy was scooting West towards Texas, and a
famous pompous NOLA weatherman assured us it would miss us. Then it
did a 90 degree turn to the north, and the eye passed over us late in
the night.

It's not going to make landfall there. But it is threatening a huge swath of coastline from north Florida all the way to North Carolina. The coastal wetlands there are really low elevation and serve as habitat for millions of birds and other wildlife, with more than a few species already critically endangered. So it's looking like it will be another environmental disaster.

ROFL

Now even a routine hurricane is supposed to be an environmental disaster.
Hurricanes are part of the environment.

Sounds like a nifty thing to say, but there's a lot more going on. Here's a summary of the vulnerabilities in just one small region:

Once this stuff spills due to flooding from excessive rains, it hangs around forever.

It figures that I will have a doctor's appointment during the upcoming mess.


It might not make land in Florida.

It's fun to watch the computer track projections. They are all new
every day.

(I'll regrain from commenting on computer climate projections.)

That was fun -- a reporter named bird-song (in German) writing
about pollution, in a newspaper named after a poisonous metal.

So how did you get on ?

So far, it has just been heavy bands of rain, but the high winds are still a little to the south of me. The county didn't open any shelters.

Light rain on the Providence RI bay right now, winds gusting to 30 or
more. Clouds racing across the sky. Looks like a large band of heavy
rain coming up in the next hour or two. Wow, what a monster storm, it's
still passing 200 miles out to sea I think. But clipping Southeast New
England a little closer than expected maybe
