Yeah, I would definitely not want to be living along the coast right now. Appearances can be deceiving, and I've heard that the hospitals down in florida are already filling up because of this.
It's hard to say what people in the government might be thinking, not telling people how dangerous this really is. Even if everyone in flordia were displaced, there is still lots of open land across the US. You can't tell me these people couldn't be put on some land somewhere and get help from all over the US shipped to them. If we can ship all kinds of stuff over seas to disasters like in Hati, we can do it right here on our own soil, and probably a heck of a lot cheaper, too.
That, to me, is the creepiest part of this whole mess... if everything we're hearing from independent sources is true, or even half of it, you've got a situation where most if not all of florida could be wiped out, and although we CAN save those people, it's just not being done. THAT is creepy. We CAN save them... but we're NOT saving them... There is just no logical reason for that. They're not going to be dying of a contagious virus that needs containment or something.... It's just downright diabolical to KNOW people are going to die, and just LET them die, when we could have saved them. (Maybe not EASILY, but knowing that it was POSSIBLE, and we didn't do it...)
