Re: east coast
Most of east coast you are 99.9% certain a hurricane will be no worse than a heavy thunderstorm.

I went through one hurricane as a child on the east coast about a mile from salt water marshlands -
in a house where the back yard flooded during and after long duration thunderstorms.
(We'd get our boards out and slide across the watery yard on them after the storms.;^)
That hurricane didn't cause flooding or damages to most structures, but it was only a CAT 2,
not a CAT 4.
I also lived in Pensacola during a hurricane about 20 years ago. Lots of downed trees and power
outages, and a leaky roof, but no flooding there. (I did move away after that, but the storm damage
was just the excuse. Pensacola was so boring after living other places, and the Gulf Coast beach
was not impressive either. ;^)
OTOH, my grandparents house on the east coast (the ground floor apartment) was flooded
frequently by 20th century hurricanes. It faced the inland waterway with a narrow barrier island
just beyond. Some places are more likely to have damages.

I agree, term. Just don't live there. ;^)

I've read oil is mostly prehistoric vegetation and not exclusively from the dinosaur age, though that contributed a sizable chunk.

its funny that in the beginning it was global warming, until we had a cold spell, then the mantra became climate change,
