CNN just showed aftermath video of the Maldives - the washover effect is unreal. they say there are (were) 5 star resorts there where people actually stay in huts on stilts out in the water.
Some of the pictures I have seen make me real humble about nature's power.
Anderson Cooper did two straight hours tonight.
And? What's your point? We have a $40,000 gazebo sitting on stilts on Lake James, NC. It was underwater last September when hurricane Ivan rolled in and we got 12" of rain in 10 hours, and the lake level rose 14 feet. Flatlanders somehow don't get it.
