Who should pay for this? Of course we should all chip in. But how many times can we keep going to the well. Other States would love to help, but you can't get blood out of a stone. How about Florida institute an income tax to stem the population growth? People walked out of the Dust Bowls and moved to California. How about walking away from the coasts, the populations are not sustainable. Yeah... This sounds like a Richard response. But somebody has to speak the truth. Yet... Let's get everybody to think they are altering the climate so we can keep on doing unsustainable things like congregating on the coasts. YOU LIVE ON A COAST with all the consumer trappings of 2018. What do You think will happen. It's NOT just You, Your Wife and Dog living on the stilted Homestead with a row boat in the attic. I can't imagine what would happen to a place like Miami if it took a hit like this with only 3 days warning. There are simply geographical locations that aren't sustainable with the populations we have now. That My Friends was the "natural check" that was altered. But let's worry about climate change now! /rant LoL... I can only laugh, humans are so stupid! People want to live in nice places. That means different things for each individual. I visited my sister in Wisconsin for the Packers game. It was in the 40’s with gray skies and drizzle most of my trip. That was September. (I know she wants to move south, but has been overridden by her husband.) I hated it. Some, like @plenzmd1 , were clueless, but he a good good guy in many other ways. One thing I know for sure.....we will ALL die at some point. I’d rather love my days on this earth than endure them in some God forsaken (to me at least) miserable hell hole with nasty weather. It’s just what's important to me. I like warm weather. My BIL hates warm weather. He lives in WI, I’d never live there if I had ANY other option (except I’d visit for the brief spring/summer/fall weeks). But I don’t judge the BIL, and I don’t care if he’s judging me for being far the wiser person. ? Edited October 12, 2018 by Augie 1

What about the billions of dollars of damage done through the midwest from floods and tornadoes every year, earthquakes and fires in California. Wildfires throughout the country. Go smoke a bowl so your lunacy does not affect your drive back to the ditch Institute an income tax, stem the population growth. Again... Man effed up with the Dust Bowls. People walked away because places like Oklahoma saw unchecked land grab in late 1800s. Same thing with the coasts. Too many people living there. No high horse, but sustainable approach. Yet... Let's think we are altering the climate and get everybody to but in because people can't move away from our problems. Not saying the coasts don't produce natural resources just like the Midwest land produces. Like sugar and orange juice. 3 minutes ago, Augie said: People want to live in nice places.

I leave Buffalo in 1.5 hours. A days drive. You make a lot of trips back and forth. A days drive? Damn I can drive to Florida in that time.

Is that tourism/recreation or industry that can be a return to the rest of the nation/world? Not being a wise guy, IMO... Industrial economy should trump a recreational/tourism. Not saying the both can't coexist, sometimes a recreational economy isn't consistently sustainable for the Nation as a whole. Especially after events like this.

Yes, add taxes! WNY is thriving because of the taxes. Please stop. Texas, Florida, Nevada, etc thrive because financial success flows to lower taxes. Be a nice place to live, and financially friendly, and things come your way. What Florida has to do is diversify, and they are doing that. A new medical school near Orlando and less reliance on tourists is a healthy thing. Medical research and advancement follows. That’s HUGE! Did you have a bad emotional experience seeing the Dolphins rout us for the 70’s? I know I did.

plenzmd1 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Stupid rain blocking the dish so no Sabre game. Getting football via firestick. @Augie does not know good weather when he sees it..Green Bay was about the nicest weather i have been in since early May. Just raining hard here in Richmond. The "eye passing just south of us, about 20 miles away..some wind but nothing to worry about. Guessing about 5 inches when all said and done at our house.

I’d go back to Sarasota, FL in a heartbeat if I could.

Don't leave out bottled water, a big thing really... and the tomatoes down here have no flavor, they just look like tomatoes. There is a big cattle/cow industry down here. 1

I’m glad your safe, because people who play with sticks on fire need to be looked after. I’m sure if there was a deep history done, you bumped your head pretty good at some point. Most people do NOT love 44 degrees and drizzle. No worries, we all love you! 1
