Re: [Nolug] Anyone else decided to stay?

Like I said, our house and our neighborhood was not affected.
Neither by wind nor water. Electricity and internet service (I
telecommute) are all that prevented us from coming straight home
after Kat.

If I lived on the near-the-Lake man-made land that was created by
marsh fill-in, and which because of subsidence makes the roads look
like roller-coasters, and which flooded during Kat, *then* I'd
already be gone.
