Consider that a hurricane off shore can cause sudden flooding up in the hills as we saw along the Susquehanna this spring. Know how to secure your house, too. A lot of houses near Binghamton were destroyed when natural gas filled houses after the pilot flames were put out and exploded.

A reminder - Hurricane Hazel in 1954 caused about 80 deaths in Toronto, Canada because of flooding.A lot of suburbs have been developed since then, and a lot of those suburbs went in on wetlands and flood plains.
