You'd think that would happen at some point, but then again there are still plenty people who ignore the warnings to evacuate and die or risk Coast Guard and other rescue personnel's lives and resources to get them out after things take a turn for the worse.

I might be able to afford some waterfront property yet. I don't need much more than a couple bedrooms with bunkbeds, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom. If it gets swept away, pop up another one.
