I just think the goverment wheather local or federal should learn from this. Galveston learned in 1900 and built a seawall. I don't know if that would stop a Cat 5, I've never been there. But we do know that we are in the up part of a hurricane cycle. I use to listen to my aunt talk about the hurricane that leveled everything where she lived near New Bedford Mass. in around 1935. Every city is at risk that's on the Gulf or Alantic coast and this has been happening for all time. A hurricane stopped the British cold in the war of 1812 after they burned down half of DC.
It just seems sad to keep watching history repeat itself. We have to do more to protect the people that are living hand to mouth and just can't jump in their car to get out of town. This could be NYC or Boston and it's not if, it's when. This is the richest country in the world and there is no excuse for this lost of life while some politicians stick their fingers in the wind. They had two days warning, there is no excuse.
So Michelle, your the man as I sit here and enjoy my cup of gormet coffee. There shipping people into Tucson this week and they will be here for a long time, maybe forever for some. I best put my coffee down and go see what I can do.
