Also the way politics guides the building/rebuilding in Southern states means that these storms are more devastating than they need to be and contribute more to climate change than they should. We destroy wetlands and cover the place where they once were with parking lots. And then we build the road to those parking lots so you have to go a mile past the parking lot and turn around to get in there (and build a maze once you're in so you have to travel extra again to get out).
