@cookiesinheaven@ai6yr Without preparations and without power, the NC situation is much more dangerous, though. In normally cold areas houses are built for cold--not for releasing heat in hot summers. And people have appropriate cold-weather clothes.
@oh8hub@_L1vY_@cookiesinheaven For hundreds of years, in warmer climates, the focus has been on ventilation (more air flow through houses, not less). Carry over from when there was not any energy to keep a place warm or cool. Hot climates often end up with just open breezeways....
@oh8hub@cookiesinheaven@ai6yr Honestly, most Americans are glad to just have a roof.
Only those who can afford to own their own houses AND to also have enough money to modify the house, can think about things like what is the ideal insulation.
