We spent a lot of money on a sub sea level city and its infrastructure. An airbase seems small in comparison. The surge and salt water are a problem along the coast, maybe we should rethink the barrier island location. Swap with navy for an inland base. I don't know the answer but to keep them in a known threat area during the season just seems stupid.
