89. Did you ever consider that living a lifetime in a house 18 ft off the ground...

propped up on stilts, due to the danger from hurricane storm surges, might give a person a reason to ride it out, when authorities, news media, and weather services threaten them with death?

That whole west end of the island, the part now purported to be underwater, consists of mostly high houses, stilt city, bird houses required to be 17 foot off sea level (since the Galveston sea wall doesn't protect them).

Are you sure that you know what you're talking about?
