Why a tsunami?

A couple of days or so ago, I added this blurb to the header:

I completely loathe the people of Aberdeen, Washington. I wish they would be washed out to sea by a tsunami and eaten by sharks like a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. I cannot possibly overstate my opinion of how thoroughly awful I think these people are.

A. The West Coast is overdue for a large quake.

B. Around 75 percent of Aberdeen is in a tsunami zone.

77% of Aberdeen’s developed land, 71% of its residents, and 82% of its businesses are located within the tsunami hazard zone

C. Wil Russoul and Co are doing NOTHING to mitigate tsunami risk.

The downtown is extremely flood prone and flooded several times in the few years I lived there, though not tsunami levels of water inundation.

If a tsunami occurs, that's me betting the odds, NOT "magic".

That's me going "Most of the town is in a tsunami hazard zone and in EIGHT years of crapping on me instead of doing their job, they've probably STILL done absolutely NOTHING about tsunami mitigation while Wil Russoul BRAGS loudly that the high cost of flood insurance is why he can't do his job and attract businesses to the downtown area, so that's out of his hands and his bosses can get off his back.

Um, no. THAT IS his job. That would be like a soldier saying "You can't expect me to take the objective! There are enemy soldiers SHOOTING at me!"

Well, duh. Did you think we paid you good money because it's EASY?

I did a LOT of research to try to come up with lightweight, affordable, effective solutions to the serious problems the town has while they strung me along with promises I might yet get the job. I got nothing but shafted by these people.

And if a tsunami wipes out the town: Welp, you brought that on yourselves. And I shall laugh my butt off if that happens.

I have reason to believe these people have been stalking me online for eight years and I wrote about Tsunami mitigation in July 2023.

They aren't even stealing my best ideas and refusing to pay me or credit me but at least helping you poor fools living in the town paying his salary in a government pork barrel position with no meaningful oversight.

I don't know why they do the ridiculous stuff they do, but they are shafting ME and the town BOTH.

And should this post give the people at the local Main Street America program in Aberdeen where Wil Russoul is Executive Director bright ideas about stealing my ideas for tsunami mitigation, they've tried stealing my ideas before and it went poorly.

I have no idea why you fools in this town tolerate the existence of their program. And then on top of that you morons pay them to pretend to do economic development work.
