sure. and a hurricane will probably hit every few years at this rate of global warming. You realize texas is right by the gulf of mexico, and the trend is stronger and stronger hurricanes every year? Next you’ll tell me we couldn’t foresee this… regularly trimming all trees around power lines, slowly moving toward underground power lines, etc is the way to go.

Hurricanes are not increasing in frequency. And is this your same advice for California? Everyone needs to bury their lines but it costs money. Cali every year has to have controlled blackouts because it's so bad at managing lines, no hurricanes needed.

  “not increasing in frequency” - is this a hoax then? https://climatemodeling.science.energy.gov/news/more-frequent-hurricanes-raise-risk-us-east-and-gulf-coasts https://climatemodeling.science.energy.gov/news/more-frequen... And yes California is another state with a poor grid. 100%. On the bright side i see some action being taken to improve things: https://www.utilitydive.com/news/california-puc-power-line-undergrounding-program/709846/ https://www.utilitydive.com/news/california-puc-power-line-u...

    yes it is a hoax, NOAA tracks this and they haven't found any significant increase: https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/global-warming-and-hurricanes/ https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/global-warming-and-hurricanes/ > There is no strong evidence of century-scale increasing trends in U.S. landfalling hurricanes or major hurricanes. Similarly for Atlantic basin-wide hurricane frequency (after adjusting for changing observing capabilities over time), there is not strong evidence for an increase since the late 1800s in hurricanes, major hurricanes, or the proportion of hurricanes that reach major hurricane intensity.
