#8  A lot of really nice houses here near the beach that will get levelled by a major hurricane. Lots of them are empty most of the year. I guarantee you they are insured out the whing-whang too.

#7  Good gouge at 5 and 6. While not always available, I prefer the high ground.

#6  ^ No lie. When I was a reporter, I talked to many people who described previous generations of their fambly being flooded out of the old home place and finishing with "well, I guess we'll rebuild again..." And insurance was not in the mix. Neither was common sense.

#5  People who build by rivers are like the people who build on the shoreline in the Gulf and coast, or that matter, in the middle of a forest. Make sure your insurance is up to date and pay it.

#4  I didn't see any evidence of devastation in the Park. Most of the rain was north of the park, and all that drained into (quite large) Yellowstone Lake.

I'll wait for more Mail photos of "Changed Beyond Recognition".
