When a whole town, city or region is in what will be the wrong place, all the community that can be mustered often won't be enough.
If a "loner" from the area went out to a safer region and established a beach head, those who ARE important can have a haven to count on.
As I've said before, there are many who are not in a logistically conducive situation to move.........yet.

There was a time recently in the Great Plains. The climate shifted over the area where towns and cities were actually flourishing. The Dust Bowl Years. Ask those folks about trying to have a regular old hillbilly pissing match of a feud against the climate in the hope that standing ground with family and friends will keep the region flourishing.

There will be many people that die from human pride and stubbornness. A waste.
Almost like back in the story of Noah...the "loner" who was prepared to go mobile. The only family unit to survive.

I'd be willing to bet most Okie families would have preferred a place already set up for them elsewhere as their insurance policy. They also would have appreciated the instantaneous and multi-platform nature of communication we have these days in order for people to remain cohesive even when miles are between them.

Oh...btw...here's a home I lived in back in Delaware:


My family sold it just last year.
Not a moment too soon.
Fortunately the current owners were not home at the time.
But I can tell you they were completely unaware that the weather in the area would be turning more violent...otherwise they would not have bought there.
