"As I'm sitting here stuck on a Brightline train because of flooding in my district, all those stormwater projects he cut look pretty stupid right now," a Florida lawmaker said.
I look forward to seeing the cost of insurance in flood prone areas go up and up and up. No way to get people to move preemptively due to climate change other than to make them go bankrupt first. STOP fucking bailing them out, STOP making US citizens pay for the shitty decisions of red states.
fyi it isn’t “just” houses. I am waiting for the annual calls from local governments about what got trashed this year.
Water-proofing stuff makes it run hotter and often makes it, counterintuitive I know, more likely to have fire/explosion issues. Hotter stuff doesn’t last as long or work as well. Organic matter releases methane both in the ground and above it. Add this to total fucking inability of civil engineers to do a site visit and acknowledge that the former non-flood zone is a flood zone now and you get yearly problems.
Not doing it this time but I almost got sent across the US to deal with a single pumping system that is browning out and dying this week. Local person is handling for me and I will be on the phone. So there is my Monday.
