Both! The gulf tidal surge water is salty. The rivers are fresh water.

Some areas got 12 -20 inches of rain! That causes the fresh water rivers to flood.

I saw a clip of a reporter reporting during the height of the wind who was having trouble not being blown away and he was standing next to a clump of trees! He could have been killed had one of those trees come down on him. I kept wondering what he was thinking!

While it is critical that they cover the power and magnitude of the hurricane, the immediate aftermath, the lost of lives, the human experience, and the lifetime tradegies that are being experienced, some advance group of reporters need to begin working on impacts and the residual nitty-gritty. Insurance companies will have to cash in bonds to get money to pay those who are insured. Once all that money comes out of the bond market that means interest rates will get higher. Will the Fed continue to raise interest rates too? Within the federal government are we looking at a supplemental just for this hurricane? Given the struggle for funding hurricane Sandy, will Congress approve of such a billl? If so, how much money are we talking about? How many more hurricanes are projected for this year? Given climate change, global warming, rising sea levels, is Florida still scheduled to become a part of the Atlantic Ocean, and if so, how much time do we have left to enjoy it? What can we do to prepare for the next big hurricane, should we start collecting money now for it? Should we begin a Florida refugee program to help relocate Florida residents who want to leave FL and go to other states? Some reporters should be working on this advance work, and get there before we get there. We are going to be there soon. . .
