C2, it's an ill wind that blows nobody good and those getting the good wind are usually those who were doing a bit of thinking beforehand. The counterpoint to some properties going down in value [being below sea level] is that others go up, as you say. Did yours get blown over or something that you need to rebuild? Maybe it's intact with only some debris on the front lawn to be removed [or sold for a profit]. I think you are right. Being well above sea level is a good thing and confers value [as more people realize that being a short walk downhill, not too steep, from the edge of the water is better than crossing fingers with each high tide]. Did you notice some people are all talk and no action in regard to help in situations such as New Orleans? Note that Mq had his help organized several years ago and Globalstar is now one of the few methods of communication. If the dopey marketers hadn't wrecked the thing with their stupidly greedy marketing plans, swarms of people in New Orleans would have had a Globalstar phone already. Recharging them will be problematic and if they had got the fuel cells done, they could easily be recharged. Unfortunately, they are still 20th century design, so battery life is limited and people will need some sort of power supply to keep them going. Car batteries, photovoltaic rechargers, etc. Mqurice
