You could ask the same thing of New Orleans. Cities were built on river mouths for transportation reasons...and they kept growing after water was replaced as a primary transportation method.
Saw this in the WSJ: The number of deaths attributed to Sandy rose late Wednesday to at least 72, nearly half in New York City, as authorities identified new victims in flooded homes and vehicles.
I guess them Yankees don't have enough sense to get out of the flood zones. It's almost like they didn't know they lived in a hurricane strike zone.

ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what the snotty, uncompassionate Yankees said about NO.
Fact is, things happen. And I'm horrified. Again.
That's my boy.
