just goes to prove mother nature is one cruel mistress when she mixes with mankinds encrouchment into areas that are prone to flooding and damage from hurricanes.
I think a lot of people have to learn that if we want to live in mother natures playground we are always going to lose everytime when it comes to the big storms.... whether it be tornados, hurricanes, sunamis, earthquakes. etc... so better have a back up plan...and another... and perhaps those really danger prone areas are better kept as wildeness..
(probably get blasted for some of that commentary. but what they heck...its the truth.)
Not from me. :)
Throw in lightening and we would have to abandon the earth.
