Mother Nature, Cosmic events, the Government, and Places to live... Yes, Again
Escaping Mother Nature has come to my attention yet again. A friend
sent me this link via email because of the proximity of my current
residence and the final decision of the safest place to live. This has
a slightly different twist on some of our previous debates on safe
places to dwell, government proclaimed disaster areas. Unfortunately
my previous vote of Northwestern PA has been voted out relatively
early.
I have a couple of arguements against their final decision. They claim that in the event of an evacuation there is a major city nearby. If there was an evacuation, you would think that the city would be the place you were trying to escape. A hospital is close, but in traffic the trip could take you as long as it might in a rural area.
So my final decision rests with Port Allegany, Pennsylvania. In particular my grandparents house on Chicago Avenue. It is at a higher elevation than most of the rest of town (considering there have been semi-major floods every 30-50 years, early 1900's [I think], '42, '72), but on a gentle enough slope of a hill that mudslides are not an issue. The nearest hospital is approximatly 25-40 minutes away, depending on which of three you decided to go to. I would think it could take that long in a city with traffic. Not close enough, then my next choice is Coudersport, PA.
Anyways, here is the link to the much awaited article.
