Greensboro Making The Best Of A Bad Situation?

Okay, so the Greensboro City Council, local Elites and Developers aren't to blame for this one but it gets added to the list just the same.

This time we are being told that Greensboro and Guilford County are at higher risk of natural disasters:

"RealtyTrac listed five risk categories: very high (50 to 75 score); high (40 to 45); medium (35); low (25 to 30); and very low (15 to 20). There were no North Carolina counties in the low and very low categories.

Of the 14 counties in the Triad and Northwest N.C., all but Alamance (35 score) had a high risk score of 40 to 45. Forsyth is at 40.

Daren Blomquist, a vice president for RealtyTrac, said potential damage from hurricanes is the biggest risk factor even though parts of the region border the northern side of what is known as the Southeast’s tornado alley.

“We show all counties in North Carolina rank either high or very high risk for hurricanes,” particularly damage from flooding or high winds, Blomquist said."

Gonna be hard to sell the wives of those CEOs on moving the family here now. And of course the cost of doing business rises as insurance rates rise.

I guess that means we're stuck with making the best with what we already have on hand. In other words, doing what should have been done all along.
