SPB-Cooperator BS: Why build cities in path of hurricanes? (70* d) RE: BS: Why build cities in path of hurricanes? 02 Sep 17


(1) Before mass air freight, cities needed to be built near the sea for commerce.
(2) In the case of USA, before building the Panama Canal, the East (Hurricane) coast was settled first as the West Coast - until the American interior was crossed by the rail network - could only be reach (from Europe)by rounding Cape Horn or Cape of Good Hope.
