I got that same impression from Cantore's tone, and his previous comments about possible destruction in the area, and also thought the numbers were very high if they didn't expect to find a lot of people in need of rescue and/or recovery....

It’d really surprise me if people stayed on West Beach without a sea wall. Those people leave when a hurricane is coming in. They know they have NO protection whatsoever.

It did strike me as odd when I heard the number of SAR being deployed.

I also discounted my worries when i heard the media start critisizing the “certain death” warning. If the death toll will be small- that would be the first thing they’d pounce on..
