We already know by now that the climate is not going to have any mercy on us. Actually, we've known that for at least two decades with natural disasters increasing in number and intensity.
We cannot control climate, but we can try control our actions and planning regarding the way houses, roads, dems are built, and the way evacuation and rescue procedures are carried out.. There seems to be growing awareness in the world to the danger of earthquakes, fires, floodings, lava eruptions, and all the other natural disasters. This awareness should be translated into some kind of action that doesn't leave us helpless in face of the elements.
Never heard of Rockport until now, so I looked it up on Google.There isn't much about it: a small city on the coast of Texas, with a beach , fishing piers, and a history of ship building, oil drilling and pirates. Now,after being hit by hurricane Harvey, people are returning heart- broken to ruins and debris. May God strenghten them and all the others in the state of Texas!
