Why live there then?.... move.
Same goes for the dummies who live in TX, FL, LA and SC. They bitch and moan when their house gets destroyed by a hurricane.
Why live anywhere? Tornados, snow storms, floods, fire, rattle snakes, gators, desert, taxes, laws, home to close to the street, down power line.......
What paradise do you reside at so I can recommend a safe utopia for the displaced? Midland is small so you can expect 40,000 people tops.
