No Stopping Effects of Big Storms
- "It is important to note that in the big storms, the category 4 or 5 hurricanes, it really doesn't matter how well constructed your building is. And it does not matter whether you have a seawall or not. The chances are pretty good that if you have beachfront property, it is history." - quote from Orrin Pilkey about East Coast oceanfront buildings on barrier islands. http://ens-news.com/ens/jun2003/2003-06-10-09.asp#anchor6
