There's a slight difference between having some property damage and having an entire state under 6 feet of water.

BTW, Ernesto is just a tropical storm. You're not gonna lose homes with that.
Just flooding in lower areas is possible. We'll see.

Want to know the most fucked up part? More people die from generator misuse almost everytime then as a direct result of the hurricaine. YOU CANT RUN A GENERATOR INDOORS MORONS! :nono:

Ummm.....yeah

Have you seen hurricane paths across Florida? they run right up the coast taking out huge chunks of coastline homes and leaving a mess in their wakes regardless of size in most cases.

I never said ernesto was a major threat and to be honest I don't hope anyone dies at any given time. I just think anyone who settles there deserves what they get for staying there.
