Every time I start to type I bite my tongue.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with our construction standards for homes or highways. This area got about a foot of rain just before it got another foot of rain. 150 year old covered bridges are washing downstream.
It is a 100 year storm and was predicted to be a 100 year record for NY city. It missed NY cities record by 8 miles and 3 miles per hour winds.
You can rebuild roads and houses. You can't rebuild the heirlooms, pictures, favorite chair, etc. The memories. A persons life is the some total of all experiences.
This, like other storms is a true tragedy. The loss of life and loss of items of intrinsic value is horrible.
Wishing all of you well, It is almost over now but not quite. Good luck in the recovery efforts.
