Hurricane Dennis (7/10/05)
Sometimes human beings are so arrogant, ignorant, or just plain stupid. Watching the coverage of the impending landfall of Hurricane Dennis, I can't help but ask why are we so surprised at the damage these storms do to the buildings we put up where these storms constantly go? Homes and businesses are placed right on the beaches. What do you expect? Is it any surprise there will be damage? Even at the Jersey shore, the ocean washes away the sand and millions of dollars are spent to replenish the beaches. Then with just one more storm, the sand is washed away again. And we are surprised. Maybe there are just some places that Mother Nature doesn't want us living, or at least not building permanent structures. 'Cause guess what? If Mother Nature wants her land back, she just simply takes it, no permits needed!
