Rebuilding after a major disaster

History has taught us many things about the relationship between man and the earth. Severe weather hits locations on the globe more than others. Rivers flood the land, tornadoes devour homes, hurricanes wipe out cities and fire burns where temperatures are high. Over long periods of time, the land changes due to natural causes. The ground we walk on reveals to us many mysteries about this history.

Hurricane 

The area you live may bring concequences. Hurricanes fly in from the ocean to ulimately hit the coast while people continue to want to dwell close to it. Families build their homes upon the river because of its beauty but time has shown that flooding has always dominated the area around it. The midwest is known for tornadoes and the number has been rising each year. Wildfires have been threatening wildlife, homes and businesses while causing evacuations of many. We all have seen these things. Does everyone recognize them?

The disasters have changed the shape of the globe and the culture of man. When a home is destroyed repeatedly and devastation hits frequently, it is very clear that the structure should not be rebuilt or the area inhabited for that matter. We could save ourselves much if we leave the areas that history has proven to bring recurring destruction. We cannot control what will happen. We can only take precaution and learn from our mistakes.

Is a lifetime of rebuilding worth everything ultimately being brought down again and again?
