So, you know, it's a fascinating thing.

Like, I can imagine, like, the sea turtle situation is either because the surge brought the turtles so far inland that, you know, something like that, or it just got picked up because the winds were so strong.

Milton was a huge storm.

You know, you could get a mini-scale sharknado if you have, like, a strong enough tornado over water that's able to pick something up into the air.

The reality is that people think about Twister, the original Twister, and, you know, the scene where the cow goes across, and the cow goes across again.

i gotta go julia we got cows um yes theoretically sure that could happen it doesn't usually happen no it's kind of crazy but yeah i mean theoretically something like that could happen on a small scale hurricanes reshape

they reshape the ecology, they reshape the topography, they reshape the landscape.

They're just extremely powerful forces of nature that have been on Earth since the beginning of time.

They're part of the system of how things work and what kind of, frankly, makes the Earth awesome to some extent.

If you can look past the life and property element of it, obviously it's tragic to see that, but

In the grand scheme of things, it's part of the world and always has been.

Yeah, the first thing that I think a lot of people don't necessarily think about is where do you live?

You live in a place, but what's your risk?

What is your actual risk there?

Do you live in a floodplain?

Which bayou, which river, which creek drains your land?

So do you have to worry about flooding from that thing?

Understand the history of a place that you live.

Talk to your neighbors that maybe lived there for a long time.

So understanding what your neighborhood is like and what people have been through I think is really important.
