I do feel bad for all of the folks in the path of destruction. As a species, we're all in deep trouble and there is no end in sight. I don't know how we as a society can afford to keep rebuilding--but we'll have to find the money somehow, won't we? Normally--in the not-so-distant past--didn't people get more warning about super bad hurricanes, and have more time to prepare/evacuate? (As a Californian who has lived through two bad shakes, I can't help but compare this to earthquakes--sure, in principle, we know they're coming, but when one hits, there is barely enough time to get under the desk. I don't have a go-bag because there is nowhere to run...) It just seemed like this one developed overnight into a category five.
