May I remind everyone that hurricanes, even big hurricanes, have been going on forever, even before the industrial revolution, and it is not wise to build close to large bodies of water, such as oceans, gulfs, sounds. I grew up on the NC coast, 300 yds from a sound, 2 miles from the ocean. I experienced several hurricanes in my childhood and early adulthood, and today I live 100-110 miles further inland, in NC. Even now, I'm not immune to hurricanes, but they are now more of a nuisance, and much less than a threat. There is no place on earth that is disaster free and the rash of modern disasters in the US, has nothing to do with "c*****e c****e"!

If they become too dangerous, they may meet a most unfortunate demise!
