Like H2O Tiger said, some of those areas have been hit multiple times recently, and that would presumably be devastating to some.
Louisiana has had a damn target on it for the last three years. Just unreal how many storms of all size have come through there. Its like every storm that enters the gulf, starts to head over there.
Two days ago, this thing didnt even look like it was going close to NO.

Informed about what, people choosing to live in regions/states that are (statistically speaking) significantly more likely to incur serious environmental damage?

Just wish the rest of us weren't going to have to pay for other people deciding living below sea level is a good idea.
And we all had to pay for insurance claims resulting from the race riots in Ferguson. See how this works.

This is a particularly-dumb comparison, even for you.

Sorry you are not bright enough to understand the point.

Well please, by all means tell us where we should live?

If Ida makes landfall in Louisiana, it would be the fourth hurricane to do so since last August -- and would be Louisiana's third major hurricane landfall in that span.

So you agree with me then?
Ridiculous comparisons aside, we shouldn't be paying for each other's catastrophes, excepting non-repetitive activity.
Portland wants to allow massive property damage? By all means, just shovel it up and rebuild yourselves.
Some places people shouldn't live. Pompeii was at least the second human habitation of that area destroyed by Vesuvius erupting.
All that said, I should have stated this the first time: I hope everyone flees to safety, and that supplies and aid have been obtained ahead of time.

Now exclude states with devastating wildfires, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, river flooding, etc. Wouldn't be too many places left to live.
Wildfires can be controlled with good forestry practices. River flooding can be avoided by noting which areas near the river flood regularly, and putting a moratorium on building structures and residing there. Volcanic eruptions affect immediate areas around them, and no one should be living that close to a volcano.
Earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes are alike in that they can be very unpredictable, happen often and with varying degree, and can affect wide swaths. (Though tornadoes are far less damaging than hurricanes, considering tornadoes are like hurricanes without the ocean water.)
Hurricanes shouldn't preclude people living near the ocean. But people should realize there are bad places to live that hurricanes could hit.

Prayers for the nutria. You all along the coast stay safe!

Pressure already down below 987 mb before hitting that hot tub water in the gulf, not good.

Don't be an arse. Louisiana folks were good people to us during the flooding in 2015 in SC.

Please evacuate if ordered to. I stayed during David that was suppose to be a weak Cat 1 in Georgia back in the late 70s. I’m lucky to still be here. At dawn my yard looked like it was in the middle of the ocean and waves were crashing into my sliding doors. Our home was on a high lot overlooking the marsh and river so some water was expected but nothing like what we experienced. And many inland areas suffered far worse. If the storm had stalled or come in on high tide I doubt we would have survived. Please take these storms seriously.
