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.

It's a beautiful country, and tons of friendly people (same population as the US pretty much), but they have their Islamists as well (primarily in Sumatra).. Freakin' volcanoes all over the place.. to be sure.. Been to a few of them, most prominent being Krakatoa back in 2012.. With 11,000 islands, volcanoes are unavoidable.. they were all pretty much born from volcanic activity. The lingering question I have in my mind, assuming the Magnetic poles continue to converge, means that Indonesia will be smack dab in the middle of it all.. And I have to believe that is going to have tectonic repercussions. But it is what it is.. should some calamity commence, hopefully I can get the family the heck out of there.. Right now trying to handle my mother's estate, selling her house, cleaning up the books and figuring out what the next chapter of our lives will be when that's done. Hawk
