a little off topic but....

i just watched the hurricane of 1938 ....major destruction on the history channel, and was amazed watchin these two guys whacking a roof with a sledgehammer ...here in new england....

but the narrator was saying essentially the same thing.... did we learn anything from that storm....?

Really what we needed to learn was how mother nature can just decide to whip the crap out of us all anytime she wants too... and we have forgotten.

all the construction on the shore line .......
....may be all swept away in one horrific storm...
the perfect storm... like you said..

it's from events that huge that we tend to learn.
