US homes maybe more resistant in hurricane countries than elsewhere in the US, but storm intensities are on the rise, and conservatives are not known to be smart about resilience if it costs money “unnecessarily”.

Being rather unprepared will add to the damages. What do people on the coast do when the hurricane comes? They screw boards over their windows. This alone has probably saved a lot of lives. Hurricane strength winds and shards is a nasty mix.

It will get worse, with human lives getting more affected than before.
