The feeling increases with me every time a storm approaches land. 16 years ago Andrew hit South Florida. Ike will be coming a shore near Galveston TX. The wave of water that will hit the coast as a Cat 2 or maybe three is going to be huge. The storm covers almost the entire real-estate footprint of the Gulf of Mexico. With it comes the wave of water it "sucks" behind it. The coast is drenched, and low. Pray.
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.
