Right, and you also had largely functional local government.

I really think it's a mistake to dismiss what happened to Mississippi as lightly as that quoted material does. There may not have been standing water, but there was nothing left for most of the coast. Seriously, whole towns were essentially missing. Multi-story brick buildings gone to the dirt.

Now we can discuss whether than helped make a fresh start I suppose, but to argue that there was less water damage since there was nothing left is a little goofy.

I know it wasn't your point Skylark.
