In Iceland they say there's no such thing as bad weather, only poor clothing choices.
I think the same thing is true about housing and infrastructure.
When I worked for the dairy, most of the building had flat roofs. Stupid choice, as it not only rains here, but it snows too. Sometimes a lot. I see people building on flood plains, then complaining when they get flooded out. Or they build next to the ocean and act surprised when the shore washes away. Someone has to fix this, they complain.
Compaired to our efforts, Mother Nature is an irresistible force. Don't underestimate her.
Sorry for your troubles, Milt.
