Sitting tight through a storm isn't the worst idea, particularly if you're in a sturdy facility with backup power like a school or stadium

Yeah that would be good if we organized stuff like that at a high level but I feel like most of the people I know just ride it out in their trailers or homes and hope they don’t take on water

One might argue that this would encourage my city administrators to invest more aggressively in domestic shelters and other life-saving facilities

Lol no for sure, texas’s solution to everything is “you should have had flood insurance”

Literally nobody will sell you flood insurance in Houston.
