"Killing at least nine".

I think it's called WEATHER. It changes all the time.

Because of GLOBAL WARMING it has become less predictable, more intense (they told us that would happen - remember?)

All I know is that I'm 72, lived in the N.Y. area most of my life (with five years up in Syracuse), have seen massive snow storms, hurricanes, etc. and do not recall such body counts in the past.

Either the weather is getting worse, or our infrastructure is -- or, perhaps both at the same time.

Don't you think it would make sense to upgrade our infrastructure - since we sure can't control the weather?
