I keep hearing talking heads saying the death toll will only be a few hundred yet you see one county saying at least 100. We have no flippen idea but I think that number is going to get to the 4 digits at least.

And these damn looters just need to be ignored. If we aren't willing to just shoot them, then we need to just ignore them and get the help to the people on the roofs and at the dome. Let them have their water logged big screen that won't work even when they do get power back.

>>Why the hell would anyone stay in an apartment on the beach?<<

Same reason people build multi-million dollar homes on the beach, for the view.

BTW flood insurance claims will total in excess of 20 billion dollars, IMO. Might be time to cancel the program and let risk be priced on the free market for a change.
