G. House User ID: 72563429 Netherlands 10/06/2016 08:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I mean, only 25 people died and most of their buildings and shacks survived. Quoting: centrist77 So except for people right on the water, why is the rest of Florida being told to flee? Our building codes should be far better than theirs. They are in areas that are at risk to storm surge and flooding. Doesn't do you much good if the building survives but you drown. Do you not understand that just about everything East of the FEC railroad is less than 12 feet above sea level? There are also very low lying areas West of the railway. A lot of coastal South Florida is filled in swampland. Don't even get me started if Lake Okeechobee took a direct hit from a slow moving major hurricane. Very little information has come out of Haiti so far, we don't know what the toll is yet. Last Edited by G. House on 10/06/2016 08:04 PM "Everybody lies." |

The term "mass destruction" has been used by several news outlets to describe what happened. Cuba also suffered extensive damage. 2. Hatians have no means to escape and nowhere to escape to. |

It is all to just make everyone feel reliant on the government. God forbid you use a generator and eat some stocked food for a few days. |

deplorable abeliever Members User ID: 72994747 United States 10/06/2016 08:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No you're incorrect OP..sorry. Haiti had much damage. They have no water. Water wells are poisoned now. Most roofs blew off concrete structures. There will be no power for weeks maybe longer.. FL will sustain high winds.. They've already lost power... they won't get that back for days or weeks. You're incorrect in your assessment. |
