I am so sick of blowhards on here claiming “nothing happened” because NEW YAWK didn’t get washed into the ocean. It seems as if NEW YAWK is the center of the universe, and if nothing happens to NEW YAWK, than it’s a wash.
Ask the folks on the OBX about Irene. Places that haven’t flooded in more than 80 years were under 6 feet of water last night. Hatteras Island was cut in half.

Hard to garner much sympathy from me for folks who choose to invest money to build a house on a sandbar.
