It always amazes me that people will go back and live in areas that are prone to these type of devastating storms and disasters.

In an article I read last year (can't remember if it was National Geographic or other), a family living along the Carolina coastline was interviewed after the second or third time their house was blown to smithereens.

The parents said they were "devastated" at losing their belongings and having to start all over and rebuild but dang, they were going to rebuild on *exactly the same spot*. MOVE AWAY PEOPLE!!!

Oh, and did you know that it is the government that pays for all this rebuilding because those folks can't get insurance because tropical storms blowing away shoreline property is a certainty. Sheesh. I wonder why the U.S. government puts up with that? Seems like they'd say, "alright, no setting up shop yay feet from the shoreline"
