Could somebody please help me understand something

Why would anybody rebuild their home in the same place where it got destroyed from a hurricane? Next year, or somewhere down the road, the same thing just gonna happen again. there will be more hurricanes that will destroy your home. I just don’t understand 😔

People can be amazingly stubborn. Think of all the people advised to evacuate because of a deadly storm approaching, and they insist, "This is my home. I can't leave it."

For some who've lived in one place for many years, they're so attached to that place, to their sense of a home or a community there, losing their house can only mean rebuilding it. If they planned ahead enough, their home insurance will have paid the cost for rebuilding.
