There's something no matter where you go.
A few years back, I looked up the list of safest cities from natural disasters, and I remember Tempe, AZ was at the top.
No hurricanes, no snow blizzards, no earthquakes, no tornadoes, no wildfires, no mudslides, no tsunamis, no snow avalanches, no river overflows, no levee breaks.
A job relocation site said I would make $10k less than I do in NOLA, but the cost of living was also $15k cheaper than NOLA.

Year after fricking year we put up with rains, hurricanes, flooding only to pick ourselves up, fix it and wait for the following year or so to do it all over again. Rinse and fricking repeat. Is living in this state worth the fricking hassles? Beginning to wonder
Can the CIA weaponise the weather?
quote:
Like so many military experiments, these trials failed but cloud seeding became a reality in 1967/8 when the US’s Operation Popeye increased rainfall by an estimated 30% over parts of Vietnam in an attempt to reduce the movement of soldiers and resources into South Vietnam.
CIA looking into wather modification as form of warfare
quote:
The professor alleges that the CIA told a colleague of his that it wanted to fund the report, but claimed that it did not want this fact to be too obvious – he added that the CIA is “a major funder” of the report which “makes me really worried about who is going to be in control”.
He claimed the US government had a proven history of using the weather in a hostile way, citing the action of seeding clouds during the Vietnam War to muddy the Ho Chi Minh foot-trail and attempt to cut it off, as it was used as a supply route but the north Vietnamese.
He claimed the CIA had also seeded clouds over Cuba “to make it rain and ruin the sugar harvest”.
Trump Brieded on wather warfare in Texas
quote:
Happer went to Mara-a-Lago with a warning. He told Trump neither mother nature nor fictitious tales of earth-shattering climate change was responsible for the storm that had brought the Lone Star State to its knees; a fifth of the state’s electricity transmission plants collapsed and over four million Texans froze in the dark, many without water too.
Dr. Happer, our source said, told Trump the Biblical storm was a product of “weather warfare.” A technology called HAARP, Happer said, had been weaponized and directed at Texas, possibly as a warning to Republican states that have eschewed Biden’s Covid-19 policies and promised to fight his dissection of the 2nd Amendment.
HAARP is an acronym for High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, ostensibly a scientific research program to study the properties and behavior of the ionosphere through use of directed microwave frequency. Many scholars over the years have questioned the ethics of HAARP, noting its technology could easily be weaponized, and the government claimed to have shuttered the program in 2013 in response to promulgation of bad press and conspiracy theories.
Happer claimed “whispers in the scientific community” suggested Biden had perverted desires to teach Red states a lesson by way of unconventional warfare. He speculated that “Biden’s people” had seized the HAARP research facility in Gakona, Alaska and “turned up the juice” to disrupt, manipulate, and reposition the Jet Stream to center an arctic front over Texas.

I’m ready to go now but not because of the weather. Way too much crime in this state for me and you add in hurricanes, tornados, and flooding it’s an easy decision to get out this state.

quote:I left in 1983 after 7 years of wealth, health, and damn good times. But my reasons for leaving were pure economics, and think the people leaving now are doing so for the money also. The Gulf has always had badass hurricanes. Camille in 68 was even worse than Katrina. Speaking of which, 99% of that disaster was due to government corruption. I'll take it a step further and opine that in the main, the reason folks have always left Louisiana was because of corruption in government. Case in point, the Lake Ponchatrain dam would have held firm if it hadn't been compromised by using cheaper materials to build it than what the Army Corps of Engineers recommended. The money saved was stolen by the politicians and bureaucrats decades earlier. In all probability, if the proper materials had been used the dam would have held firm, and New Orleans would be in better shape all around than it is now.
Louisana's population has declined for, what, three years in a row?
I think plenty of ppl have been doing it.

In a day and age where the climate around the world appears to be getting worse, I’m not sure what difference it would make if you leave. The current infrastructure just isn’t built for this.
Ah......no.

Everytime I work a little in Texas I question why I stay in SE LA.
Then I go back home and realize we have the best looking women (if they don't over eat) and people in this country.
Plus, I would miss Mardi Gras and being a PoS Catholic too much. Something about Baptist makes me cringe.

Damn, sorry to hear that. Hopefully insurance can cover the majority of it if not all.
