[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flood zones are changing as global warming increases flooding and hurricanes.  I[b] really don't know[/b] what can be done to predict or stop it.  [/quote]

Are you a scientist? Do you know anything about weather patterns? Do you know anything?

Much can be done to prevent the billions in losses that Harvey is predicted to cause.

First, rebuilding on flood plains must end. All building on flood plains must end. There should be no flood insurance for houses and any other type of structure built on a flood plain. If you choose to build on a flood plain, you're on your own.

It's a complicated problem, because avaricious governments and corporations and individuals have allowed tons of building on flood plains in the past, so all those structures must be relocated.

But to say or think it can't be done, is ridiculous. It can, and must be done. Period. [/quote]

Should we also end building in Oregon and Washington, particularly west if the I-5 Corridor?  Where do you propose we relocate millions of people to?
