Why do people build on the coast? Or, more accurately, why does anyone build an expensive building on the coast? Until the mid-1980s, a beach house was usually a box on stilts. No insulation. Maybe no power. They were cheap to build and, if they got blown away, easy to replace. I suspect that will be the future for a while here.

Thanks for the report. Ike is pretty much forgotten, not like Katrina. Never got the press.

There are so many Florida areas that are super vulnerable and SO heavily populated (including where I live). One of these days a cat 5 will pound on on shore in a super populated area and it will be another Katrina, maybe not quite as bad but maybe a lot worse.
