Every year around September 8th, I read about the 90 Orphans and 10 nuns lost in the Galveston Hurricane of 1900.
I cry.
Over 6,000 lives lost in that Hurricane.
On a more practical point, what would planning a decade ago have done in the writers progressive mind? You know, the stuff the evil republicans ignored.
I bet no far out progressive proposal back then would have used a 500 year flood event as a worse case scenario...
