Hurricane music

Every hurricane, there are folks who decide to ride it out. A category 1, in a region with decent drainage, I can see staying. Maybe even a cat1 on a sturdy beach area with a sufficiently strong building.

But a category **5**?? Run for the fricking hills, folks.

Of course though, with every group that stays, there's gotta be a hurricane party. Get drunk, get trashed, so you won't feel the pain when the roof collapses around you and the tree trunk flies through the wall to take your head off. I suspect the music played at these parties tends to a lot of Jimmy Buffet and such.

This time, however, I have a better suggestion.


A little Katrina and the Waves, anyone?

All of which are good reasons for building near, or just above, sea level.

But *BELOW*?!?

Looks like the piper is demanding to be paid on this one.

Here's hoping when they rebuild they maybe, I dunno, *move* it a bit? "Newer Orleans! All the same old Mardi Gras fun, now with 99% less flooding!"
