You know..I lived through a whole buncha hurricanes back east starting with the first I remember Hazel. If all of them people didn't have to live right on the water..it would be ok... but no..they want to be right where the highest tides in a normal time woulda been...so when the "STORM OF THE CENTURY" comes along they are long suffering..and it was just terrible. We had storm surges as they call 'em now in the past and people who lived in low lying areas..just left..didn't evacuate whole areas...and the rest of the people just hunkered down and rode it out. Sheesh...and again. All those low lying areas didn't sprout plywood orchards back then. What do people expect if they live in a swamp like they do in the marsh on Kent Island in Md?? Shouldn't allow 'em to build there..but they bring some of the highest property taxes ya know..Money again!!

dunno about that.....
I believe there are at least 35 people (not to mention all the loved ones they left behind) that might disagree
CNN : "The death toll from Hurricane Irene, later downgraded to a tropical storm, rose dramatically Monday as at least 35 people were reportedly killed...." there are a lot of people still unaccounted for too - at least for now
