Don't get me wrong...I hope everyone who's on Gaveston gets off and that no lives are lost...but as far as property damage...if you were stupid enough to build on a barrier island, you get what you get. It's about like building on the side of an active volcano...when it finally errupts, you have no one to blame but yourself.
