For those in it's path the <DIV></DIV>>damage and difficulties are bad enough. Billions of dollars in damage and <DIV></DIV>>millions have been without power...and many still are. Flooding from the <DIV></DIV>>storm surge/push onto land was extensive. Cities like Baltimore along the <DIV></DIV>>coast had areas that were/are under several feet of water. Geoff Cintron <DIV></DIV>>alluded to how bad the North Carolina/Virginia coastal areas got whacked. <DIV></DIV>>John Sinclair is probably out there cleaning up...if, he has even gotten back <DIV></DIV>>to his home yet. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Areas in South Jersey, Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland were <DIV></DIV>>ravaged with 50 to 80 miles an hour winds knocking down trees (and power <DIV></DIV>>lines) by the thousands. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>The speed of this fasting moving storm saved us all from tremendous rains and <DIV></DIV>>extensive periods of winds. Even my area here in PA..far from the storm's <DIV></DIV>>center got lots of wind Thursday night...knocking power out for 1/2 day and <DIV></DIV>>taking down several trees and large branches in the neighborhood. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Yes, we were lucky it was not worse...but believe me, it was bad enough. I <DIV></DIV>>cannot imagine what a direct hit of a category 4 or 5 would do to the Mid- <DIV></DIV>>Atlantic or Northeast areas with all the people and development we have. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Even worse for us and others would be the tsunami from a large asteroidal hit <DIV></DIV>>in the (Atlantic) ocean. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Count your blessings every day, <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>John <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>______________________________________________ <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list mailing list <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com <DIV></DIV>>http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMAENUS/2749??PS=">Share your photos without swamping your Inbox.
