[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 16283549, member: 46336"] It's hard to look at. I feel for them, and those that lost their lives. But as I sat there and watched the destruction take place, and the storm head my way, I really stopped to remember where they were and where I was. I'm 15 miles off the coast, in a city historically smacked by hurricanes. I'm on a piece of land in between two high roads, with water about 1/8 mi away from me. It's one of the oldest pieces of Charleston, and people built homes here way back when because it was dry ground. That's why I bought where I bought. But I also live here knowing that one day I may very well have water to my knees in my house, and that's just it. I enjoy the ocean and the rivers and coastal living, but it's just as volatile as it is beautiful. The poor folks in the Bahamas are an entire nation built on barely any rock or stone. Their entire livelihood depends on the durability of a glorified giant sand bar, and it's horrible to watch it erode beneath them. That entire culture just about went the way of Atlantis and ended up on the bottom of the ocean. I sincerely hope people realize where they're building, and remember that the ocean giveth and taketh away. Always. [/QUOTE]
