Yeah, I wonder about the sanity of people who build cities on the Gulf Coast as well. I'm currently saving so I can move further inland, because this is madness. I don't know how my family has lived here for generations enduring the Tropical Storm/Hurricane onslaught. Maybe they need Lithium?? I don't know, but I'm getting out of dodge as quickly as my finances will allow. I've thought about moving to New York many times - but only if a GAZILLION dollars floated from the sky into my living room. It ain't gonna happen. That's unfortunate because I would love to live in Manhattan. About the “stopping a hurricane” thing, I was being a bit facetious.

I feel the same way. Sonya, we can't stop a hurricane but we sure can get out of its way. Someone please tell me why we have so many important services plunked in the line of fire down there.... and honestly I wonder about the sanity of people who build cities knowing full well such storms rip through. I just don't understand it at all. Sorry to hear of your hurricane experiences. You could always move to New York! We have no hurricanes, although the taxes would probably render you in a state of shock... You’re right, Karen. I feel the same way.

I live on the coast. I'm from the Midwest and this is the second major hurricane I've been through - the second time around did not make the experience any easier. When I moved here, I was surprised to find out how many essential services are outsourced beyond state lines or to other countries. If I could have physically stopped Hurricane Ike, you would have had your MRI with no problem, a lot of people wouldn't have lost their homes, and 45+ people would not have lost their lives.

See how our economy could be jeopardized by computers failing? It is scary. Isn’t that crazy! See how our economy could be jeopardized by computers failing? It is scary.
