Shit sucks, yo.

We're supposed to get 30 inches of rain over the weekend with 100+mph winds for an extended time. Pretty sure I'm gonna lose power for most of it. Thank god I'm up on a slight hill and no trees are likely to fall on my house.

Yeah, I've got a rain barrel in the yard. Already emptied and cleaned it yesterday in prep. Probably going to fill the bathtub and the sinks too, for good measure.

In some ways it's good timing because I had been planning on a week-long trip to Big Bend next week and stocked up on some supplies a little while back. Got some water jugs, plenty of backpacking food, and an extra fuel canister for my stove.

Now I just have to keep the dog from fear-vomiting all over the house once it hits.

July and August are the worst, but if you like heat, Texas is warm for all but a few weeks between the middle of January and February.

I don't particularly like the heat so my comfortable times are between end of October to end of May. June is fine, but can't do anything like camping after May unless you love being hot and sweaty.

OP here. Watched video clips at news sites. The weather is fucking brutal, just mad.

I started wondering exactly why do people live in a place with 10-15 years between storms that really make a mess. First Louisiana and now Texas. Is it so great living there, when massive natural catastrophies are not taking place - honest question, why do people stay?

In a neighborhood just west of downtown Houston. Took a walk down to the bayou- highest I've ever seen it and the rain is still coming. It has to come up about twenty more feet to get me, still, so I'm sitting pretty.

Glad I live on the same hill where all the dead rich folks are buried.

That's like Tornado area n shit. I'm near Miami where the hurricane threat is real and everything is built much more tough. Storm shutters on all the buildings and brick or concrete exterior walls.

In the middle of the country, might as well just build the houses out of wood because it's like a 0.01% chance a tornado will hit the thing before it gets torn down for being so old anyway.

There aren't many places in this country that aren't subject to natural disasters, be it floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires or earthquakes.

So step off that high horse.

Is the tornado season better since it gets cooler, or why do you enjoy it? Are you a storm chaser?

>>1089589
Yes, sorry, it's one of the three languages I speak and admittedly it is nowhere near perfect. It just seems somehow that people somehow do not clump into places which have the least natural disasters (like New Hampshire) and I don't understand why.

As he said most places are subject to natural disasters and if you want a job you have to go where the jobs are, which is often dictated by things like being near a port or river or the coast. The safest area I believe is the inland Pacific Northwest but no one lives there because it is mostly empty desert and there are very few jobs

It's a risk vs reward thing. You want to live in the mountains? Better accept that there will be blizzards.

Like the wide open spaces in the Great Plaines? You're going to have tornadoes.

Plus we can't ALL live in New Hampshire.

Also I was speaking a little tongue in cheek about enjoying tornadoes, though I do enjoy that type of weather some.

Thank you anon. I understand, however this brings me back to the original question, why Texas/Louisiana. I guess it is not just jobs? Is it the barbeques? /out? Gun laws? General way of life? Or maybe it just cannot be explained, I don't know.

>Plus we can't ALL live in New Hampshire.
Well -- (autist hat on) if everybody in the USA (per population estimated for 2016) would live in New Hampshire, the population density would be 13344 persons/km2, which is larger than Singapore but still less than Monaco. It would be crowded as hell, but not as bad as Macao. As a bonus USA would have the biggest /out on the planet (anything outside New Hampshire).

Nothing even comes close.
Also the assholes building houses i dense forest should not get a dime when the inevitable fire sweeps through.
If the government needs to subsidise the insurance, the risk is too great.
