All I'm saying is extreme weather is unpredictable even by the best weather experts.
Nope. You’re wrong. With regard to this disaster...not all weather phenomena and natural disasters, but on this one. You refuse to budge but then again, you’re not one of the parents and have no real incentive to put your hard-headedness aside.
Every year, Texas gets a healthy mix (if not all) of the following: floods, hurricanes, ice storms, wind storms, dust storms, hailstorms, tornadoes, periods of drought, wildfires, and heat waves in the form of weeks-on-end triple-digit temperatures.
Texas has land surveys, building codes, laws, and insurance for a reason. A commercial concern that is 100 years old has had 100 years to prepare and should be ready to meet those contingencies.
When it rains, you know where the water will go.
When there are hurricanes, you know which coast will be hit.
Before the earthquake strikes, you know where the faults are.
Texas is a part of “Tornado Alley.” If it has a name, it has a history.
Bad things happen. They have and they will again. I think businesses and people should be prepared.
