Sometimes I wonder what MS's coast would have looked like after Katrina had there not been a monster surge. I wonder how many insurance companies that are not paying would have to pay.

That was really cool! It gives you a great idea of how things can change even in one Cat.
My kids loved watching it too. They made me play it over and over again about 6 times.
