Is America Ready for the Next Superstorm?

Sandy and Katrina proved we're not, luckily those were spaced out single incidents. I couldn't imagine multiple large earthquakes on the east and west coast at the same time or a large volcano exploding somewhere in the country.

Pretty interesting article, as I’m in the produce/logistic industry and I know a few owners at hunts point, and do business with the point every single day. I honestly see an article like this and cringe, because I am in a unique position to know exactly what catastrophe/nor’easters does to the industry, and it has as big an affect on us (produce/warehousing/logistics) as it does on electric companies, cable, (infrastructure industries, if you will). We have to work those 25 hour, 8 day a week shifts, as well, scrounging and trying to put together orders when everybody is out of product, and they have no trucks to get the product, and I have people that work for me, that like everybody else, is stranded in there house, so my production line is down, because the last phrase that anybody wants to hear in my industry is “service interruption”. I’ve been lucky that I’ve been in the industry since I was a kid, so 25 years in, I have weathered every single thing you can think of, barring nuclear holocaust, but I have also seen people not be able to take the pressure and fold.
I live far enough away from the shore in Albany, ny, that a hurricane wouldn’t kill us, but it would have a significant impact on the highways and shyt, because we service all the major grocery chains on the east coast.

With climate change the shyt that scares me is what if Category 3 hurricane hits the city directly. We would be fukked. It would be a disaster like no other. We got lucky with Sandy but next we won’t be and it will be a disaster for the city. I pray that day comes as far away in the future as possible.

Sandy was crazy.
i could walk 15 minutes from where i lived and see crazy destruction.
NYC is NOT ready for another super storm.
if another storm comes along and rises 3 feet higher, NYC will be in serious trouble.
Great analysis breh, but how do you feel about potentially relocating the distribution center to somewhere more inland. I get the economic impact of it would make the move more costly. But potentially if a massive hurricane were to rock the northeast, all the general public would be toting about is why no one power ever did anything proactive like moving the distribution center somewhere more inland, if they knew it was in vulnerable area in the first place. We all know how this backlash goes pan out. But will ignore the cost, and get on their moral platform.
Also not aimed at you, fact:
Just what if we were decent human beings and actually made an effort at combating climate change. Instead we have a leader in power who denies the existence of climate change while pulling us out of the Paris Agreement.
