1. Don’t build in a flood plain.
2. Don’t build tunnels next to bodies of water without adequate drainage and a way of keeping the water out of the tunnel.
3. If you can’t stand tropical storms (a.k.a. hurricanes), don’t live in areas that are routinely affected with hurricanes.
4. If you live in Florida and get hit with a blizzard, that’s unusual. If you live in New York and get hit with a major earthquake, that’s unusual. However hurricanes have always been part of life along the Atlantic Coast, and were probably worse in the past (climate was cooler, and the temperature differences between tropics and temperate regions led to bigger storms). Of course everything is part of Ha-Shem’s plan, which includes things like sunrise in the morning – and hurricanes are a lot closer to sunrise than a mabul.
That’s funny. I thought the lesson was leave NY and come home to Eretz Yisroel.
That’s assuming there is a “next big earthquake.”
Haifagirl: Using your logic, shouldn’t all the constant wars and terror attacks over the 60+ years of the State have told you to leave?
akuperma: New York City is one of the least hurricane prone areas along the Atlantic. Look at the history and destructiveness of natural disasters in NYC compared to other area. NYC does relatively pretty darn good.
Do you suggest we all move to Omaha, Nebraska?
Which area is not prone to earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, blizzards, cyclones, hailstorms, tornadoes or other natural disasters?
TLKY – “Which area is not prone to earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, blizzards, cyclones, hailstorms, tornadoes or other natural disasters?”
England 🙂
There was an earthquake in Essex (near London) and an avalanche in Lewes, England. There was flooding in 2008, 2007, 2005, 2004, etc. And there was a tornado in Birmingham in 2004.
Monsey often has flooding from its streams… And despite being hit less now monsey has severe electrical outages with dangerous live wires from many fallen trees – unlike most areas of Brooklyn where most cables are “safely” underground”. It’s times like this we say “rabos machshovos blev ish…” although we must take necessary precautions, we can’t prevent/protect ourselves from everything.
