There were plenty on FR that voiced their willingness to see the whole northeast coast to be washed out to sea and its population with it if it would have ensure BAMA’s defeat. I wanted the man gone as much as the next guy, but not by the deaths of hundreds of thousands of fellow Americans.
There were also more than enough who declared that we NYers *deserved* it because *we* voted for liberal politicians.
There was NO sympathy for any of the victims of that storm. If NYers weren’t at fault for electing the politicians, we were at fault for living in the state, and hence, still deserved it for staying or *allowing* the government to become corrupt.
NY is vulnerable. During WWII to submarines, to the changes in the Atlantic conveyor creating hurricanes... Lots of folks in a tiny packed spot.
