Actually, we can't realistically evacuate Miami/Dade county. There is only one highway leading north, and no other direction to go.
Ask Pakistan about floods.
But yes, you are right about heat. My theory is that it is the fourth rider of the apocalypse. Covers a huge area and just kills everyone.
- bena 4y agoWe're given a lot of warning with hurricanes. The biggest hurdle with evacuation is that a lot of people don't have the means. Either a lack of transportation or lack of funds to secure shelter. Yes, that's why I said there are different types of floods. I explicitly acknowledged that floods come in several varieties. Pakistan is notable for a lot of reasons. It's also notable because even for a flood, it is out of the ordinary. You tried to pick edge cases to try and say the typical doesn't apply. It still does. The issue is that the typical heatwave is different from the typical variety of other disasters.
