Related to pipes… if the cold weather extremes extend to warm climates, pipes won’t stand a chance. I watched Austin’s MFH world implode when every building had catastrophic pipe bursting because they didn’t insulate for that kind of weather. It was apocalyptic feeling hearing all of the fire alarms going off for days, no water.

Climate change is going to fuck shit up but VA is a better place than most.

For instance our winter codes are way more robust than Austin. This last Christmas was probably a portent though.
