Re: I am a terrible person

[personal profile] nyxelestia 2014-01-09 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
I live in Los Angeles, and we would be royally fucked if our temperatures even hit freezing, let alone the subzero temperatures the rest of the country is facing. We are excellently prepared for wildfires, tsunamis, and earthquakes, things I'm told are extremely terrifying prospects for most people in the country and that we tend to be disparagingly casual about. Low temperatures? Not so much. A 4 or 5 earthquake in my area would make me roll my eyes and go back to sleep, but I would be damn concerned to hear about it in most other places, and I would legitimately freak out if I heard about something like that in a place like Manhattan, which doesn't have the most reliable foundations and has a shit ton of tall buildings crowded into a tiny area.

People don't freak out about the weather, they freak out about the fact their homes and communities are not equipped to deal with this kind of stuff and there are some serious, legitimate concerns for that. It's nearly impossible to be able to build a home that's perfectly prepared for every weather situation, and most people prepare for whatever is most likely to occur in that region. They have a right to be concerned when a freak weather case they are completely unprepared for, or even prepared for the opposite of, happens with little to no warning.
