<<<<There is a reason why insurance companies are leaving some states.>>>> Even if insurance companies do not leave a state - they are increasing rates dramatically. My agent said 40% across the board for Homeowners in my area!

The number of severe weather events since 2000 has been solely because of vaccines and the banning of raw milk. Plus, not enough ivermectin.

According to a United Nations report, the number of major floods more than doubled from 1,389 in the period 1980–1999 to 3,254 in 2000–2019 Please stop. If you get shit like this from UN, surely you must understand there is a search for money involved. You have to realize this. After Obama commits 3 Billion dollars to island nations for so-called "global warming", it is apparent that island nations are going to have sudden attacks of "global warming". If Texas was only place in the world that was experiencing unusual flooding, what you say would be true. Texas hasn't had any "unusual" flooding to speak of. Sorry, that is just not a factual claim. Floods and storms have become the most prevalent types of climate-related disasters, with floods accounting for 44% of such events in the past two decades I'm quite sure they have ALWAYS been the most prevalent types of "disasters", at least in the time since the printing press. They appear to be more common because they are: Humans love to live and play near water. People want to live on the beach. They want to live on lakes, rivers and streams. And they will do it, because FEMA picks up the tab. Why the hell not? Years ago I knew a girl whose grandparents lived on top of their home for a solid month when it was flooded in the great flood of 1927. Today, that region is covered with housing, businesses, streets and roads, and most importantly, one hell of a levee. The water doesn't go away. But it goes somewhere else.
