(11,784 posts)And this is much of what people talk about. Luckily the government seems to be somewhat proactive in many respects, but many of my friends are planning to relocate to the east.
This is truly horrifying.

(5,580 posts)2 1/2 years ago. I was hated on for it.
You already know how its gonna play out...
People will be hated on for trying to survive or find a new place to live their lives.
Its not partisan hate either. Liberals here are also guilty of not wanting more people here. Disconcerting to say the least...in a free country.

(80,693 posts)Hey all you refugee-haters - better get ready for more. MANY more.
You think you dont like them now? You say youre being invaded?
Just wait. The accelerating climate crisis is gonna drive many many many more of them northward - and right into YOUR midst. And walls wont make any difference. No matter how high. Wont make ANY difference.
Get used to it. Whether you like it or not, THATS gonna be the new normal.
Whether you like it or not.

(17,286 posts)The worst I have been at my home is exactly 4 feet of water in the basement. I have several neighbors, however, who have had water reach about 2 feet from the peak of their roof on a 2 story house. I helped a few of them gut their homes (ie: remove all possessions and remove all sheetrock) as per the Town and FEMA instructions. They then relocated and their homes were torn down.
One couple toured my area in a canoe, and they were ducking under electrical wires on telephone poles while doing so.
