You're suggesting that this is an engineering problem. But the fundamental issue remains - the increasing ferocity of these events. Full disclosure, I am basing this on pictures of Hurricane Andrew and its size relative to Hurricane Irma. Shouldn't we listen to the scientists and change human behaviour now rather than try to engineer our way out of these issues in the future?
