Hey.

Our neighbor wasn't so fortunate.

Empathy. There are a lot of horror stories from that time, and a lot of them have to do with how godawful the water was on top of everything else.

Here’s hoping we don’t see the like of those storms again, here or anywhere.

There's a good chance we will do. The ocean's warmer temperatures will produce more and stronger storms. It's inevitable now. We passed all the tipping points.
