Meltdown Posts: 1844 Incept: 2008-03-18 FL	I am a tad dumbfounded - this is just not NYC. There are areas of massive property damage across multiple states here, and it's still coming in. ---------- VICTORY BELONGS TO THE RELENTLESS! 2011-08-28 19:14:45 Permalink

I'm not suggesting Irene is in anyway comparable to Katrina, but remember, everyone thought New Orleans dodged a bullet until the levies gave way the next morning. Flooding in particular, is probably under reported at this point...and effects will not be fully manifested until swollen rivers crest. 2011-08-28 19:24:01 Permalink

Folk's who've NEVER been flooded will flood if those estimates are correct. The expense will be massive. ---------- "...But people better realize that the worst-case scenario could actually happen.9/11 happened. This can happen.

There was a man in a t-shirt, a woman waving her arms and then walking backwards. Then someone on a bicycle glided past.... more at link http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tobyha.... ---------- The money has already been lost. Someone has to book it.

Truthseeker Posts: 8472 Incept: 2007-10-07 NorCal	There were some pretty dramatic pictures of the Schulkill this morning. River hasn't crested yet, though. Tuesday morning's papers should be definitive. ---------- "...But people better realize that the worst-case scenario could actually happen.9/11 happened. This can happen.

Crossthread Posts: 4539 Incept: 2007-09-04 Wilmington, NC	Hurricane Irene spells more bad news for East Coast homeowners Experts say the storm could delay pending homes sales and, in the longer-term, potentially depress home values As homeowners along the Eastern seaboard assess the damage done by Hurricane Irene, they may have to brace themselves for more bad news. The hurricane is likely to roil an already uncertain real estate market in communities from North Carolina to Vermont, where residents have already seen their homes severely damaged or even destroyed. Experts say the storm could delay pending homes sales and, in the longer-term, potentially depress home values. For homeowners teetering on the brink of foreclosure, the devastation caused by Irene could be a deciding factor in losing their homes. Insurers say total damages from the storm could be between $7 and $10 billion, according to published reports. read more @ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44345495/ns/.... ---------- �Cognitive Co-Dependency� is when a normal rational person, internalizes irrational illogical presentations, and somehow reconciles them to fit their scripted indoctrination of logical analysis.
