Coastal growth expands along U.S. shores amid rising threats
An Associated Press analysis shows continued population growth on coastal Texas and southwest Florida despite stronger hurricanes. Researchers warn development destroys barriers, increases flood risk, and concentrates people in storm paths, citing Irma and Katrina as sobering precedents and noting 2010–2016 losses exceed 100 billion dollars. Local officials urge resilient planning and better evacuation networks.
