Right. Just look at what happened to Fort Myers with hurricane Ian. Catastrophic doesn't just mean loss of life, it also includes the scope of the impact and cost of cleanup and damage. Right now, over 4 million people are without power in the southeast. There is significant flash flooding in Georgia and the Carolinas. Hundreds of people had to be rescued in the Tampa Bay area because of the storm surge.
I realize the media goes overboard with this stuff but I'd rather have too much information than not enough.
