The saddest part of any storm .......

The loss of human life. The death toll has risen to 8, with all of those being confirmed in Rockport. I know that people will say they should've left, but small coastal town residents are a hardy bunch, and would likely never evacuate. I grew up in one of those very small coastal towns, Bayou La Batre, AL. Rockport is probably full of the same type of people. It just saddens me to know the terror they felt in those last moments, as the water rose exponentially in seconds and took them.

I don't care about how stubborn or careless you feel they were. They're gone. I mourn them, and know that they felt they were holding on to and trying to protect all that they knew.
