Pause,

Insurance companies will likely be refusing to offer flood insurance in any region where hurricanes strike. A category 4 hurricane in 2017 will cause a lot more damage and loss of life than a category 4 storm did 50 years ago. We know that our green house gas emissions are warming the oceans and accelerating water cycles. More intense/disastrous rainfall events are being seen now and they will be even more frequent in future years.
