Who Will Care for Americans Left Behind by #Climate Migration?
—
#HurricaneHelene was the latest in a generation of storms that are intensifying faster and dumping more rain as the climate warms. It's precisely the kind of event expected to drive more Americans to relocate as climate change gets worse — leaving behind those who are older, poorer and more vulnerable.

For those who don't understand how Americans relate a waffle restaurant to weather events:
Waffle House restaurants are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They do NOT close for ANY reason except impending catastrophe.
So when Waffle House reports that all locations in a city have been closed due to weather, that area is most likely fucked after the storm is over.
