3M to repair a road is pretty small potatoes, compared to other uses of funds. Isabel caused about 1B in damage, a small amount. I'm sure that you drive on federally funded roads everyday. Are you in an earthquake zone? Does your power ever go out due to ice storms? Tornado? Give these people a break.

Long term, barrier Islands are not suitable locations for permanent human habitation; keeping them so will require ridiculous levels of funding subsidized by people in other locations.

We've been fooled since WWII, and especially since 1970 or so, by the lack of strong storms into thinking you can live there permanently.

They really should only have summer beach shacks, etc.

The problem is the explosion in gigantic, palatial permanent homes that get rebuilt by heavily-subsidized government insurance.
