This is Asheville in north Carolina according to the screenshot which has recently been hit by hurricane Helene. There is no way that I know of to ‘plan a city’ in a way that prevents a hurricane from devastating the area and killing dozens. If such a measure existed, then why wouldn’t it have already been implemented on the south-eastern US coast where hurricanes and tropical storms are most frequent?
Whats not only climate change fault. But also poor planning of the city’s architecture.

This city is up a mountain, dude. Some of the people hit hard are in some extremely rural areas, well outside town limits.
I have some friends in Asheville. I’ll be sure to scold them for not doing enough to fix their city.
