[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 225531, member: 7194"] Hurricanes are an odd thing, they are not on a schedule. By your reasoning no one should live in Florida period:) Katrina was the first hurricane I ever recall causing any damage to my area, Gustav was the second. Gustav was a real pushover comparitively. Hopefully we will not have another bad storm for 30 more years. Camille in 69 was the last storm to hit my area causing damage. If a storm coming through every thirty to fifty years means someone should move where would you suggest? I think my odds are pretty good right where I am at, and I am not waiting for anyone to bail me out. As much as I have paid in taxes in my lifetime maybe I should expect a bail out but I do not. Hurricanes are not that severe where I am at, even the bad ones. My only beef on this thread is my perception of Joecools post. My perception may be skewed right now, but this is my perception of the meaning of his post, this is in my words not his, " We get storms just as bad as hurricanes and we do not even make the news those Southerners are just a bunch of whiney babies who ought to shut up and deal with it." If that isnt the meaning of his post then my interpretation is off a bit. In fact it probably is off a bit but it struck a nerve anyway. I admire many of those folks on the gulf coast. The way they picked themselves up and rebuilt is amazing. There is still damage there but it is almost restored. Two years ago it literally looked like a nuclear bomb had exploded there, the reconstruction is dramatic. They havent moved, they have adapted. The buildings are better constructed to withstand future storms and in most cases in areas less prone to surge damage. [/QUOTE]
