Gee, Coladar, that rant is amazing. Even if you think everyone who died was a dipcrap for staying put, homes were f'ng destroyed, tunnels flooded, power lost for several millions, fires started that were inaccessible to first responders etc... I'll toss in that I don't know how easy it is to get that many senior citizens out of high apartments, especially when they may not have a car. There is absolutely nothing that they could have been done about the property damage, which is already measured at about half a Katrina. How you can even compare it to the derecho is just idiocy.
