ELI5- How did people survive hurricanes before you could predict them?
In: 8
People have survived all kinds of natural disasters and devastating weather related phenomena. Human kind has an excellent ability to understand, adapt, and overcome. We can live in cold places, hot places, wet places. If you’re asking about how people would’ve survived 1000 years ago? They probably fled inland at the first sign, sight high ground and did their best to stay dry and warm, and even then there were probably a significant amount of fatalities due to injury, infection, starvation or exposure. Short answer – a healthy amount of fear to prompt people to put distance between them and the coast, and a healthy amount of luck.
