You might have tried to answer his question instead of going straight into jackass mode.
Yea whatever...

According to a quote I heard on CNN while at the gym... this storm has the potential to affect 14 million people along the gulf coast...And unfortunately it appears that the delta is in the bulls eye

Lets ask all those people why they live there..

Or closer to me just last week.. Henri was predicted to make landfall between Sayville, and Southampton, NY.. about 20 miles from my place..

For whatever reason the storm made landfall between Montauk, NY, and Block Island, RI.. over 100 miles from my place

Even though the storm was over 100 miles from me... I still got around 8 inches of rain over two days...

Once Henri made landfall... it kind of petered out and was just a rain event.. Yet it affected millions of people over a large geographic area..

Why do they continue to live there?

Hurricanes are huge, and unpredictable... to ask why people live in the path is stupid.. because you rarely know where the path is, or where the storm will really go and the storm affects people hundreds of miles away..

We know exactly where the San Andreas fault is.. why do people continue to live there?

Some places are pre-disastered
