Re: MI Hello from FLoyd State
This is, by all means, germane to a GIS list. Disaster planning and recovery are among the most common and most important uses of GIS. Mapinfo specifically is used very extensively by FEMA in flood analysis and planning. I personally will be using a Mapinfo application to assess the impact of Floyd on over a billion dollars of property owned by my employer. And, of course, I share Sarah's concern for the human impact of such a disaster as well. "Richard E. Hoskins" wrote: Having said that, this might be a GIS issue.

Re: MI Hello from FLoyd State
actually, would you believe that England suffers from more tornadoes per area unit than the states.

Re: MI Hello from FLoyd State
Folks: I suggest we attempt to respect each other and be as civil as possible. I am sure Anthony in fact has a life and an interesting one, and that Sarah is sincerely worried that people far away are in grave danger and hurting; maybe even relatives are in Harm's way. There is no conflict here. I hope we are all friends, maybe sort of like "at work" friends, and if that is the case, then we need to be tolerant of discussions that are not quite on the topic sometimes. Having said that, this might be a GIS issue. GISers in the South East maybe needing to revise their eastern county boundaries as Floyd may be changing them right now. Richard E.
