SS, I think she was trying to say that IF a Storm of this magnitude doesn't do the predicted damage, that in the future people won't evacuate causing massive loss of life.

...and nothing will be done to address the root problem, either.

I am still worried about the storm surge. Reading about the hurricane of Sept. 21, 1938, that swept through Long Island, and the New England area, the storm surge was absolutely devastating.

I pray that isn't the case today.
