Do you seriously believe all the billions in property damage along the shore should just be chalked up to "easy come easy go?"
Are you a greenie perchance?
I don't have a dog in that race, but IF there might be a method of reducing the danger of a hurricane, I'd bet dollars to donuts that people along the path would be willing to try to mitigate the billions of property damage they suffer in its wake.
Well, good luck with that. :~D I mean it!
