Going to? Isn't most of the the damage known by now? The storm will still result in some heavy winds, but shouldn't be near the damage we've seen...

There's more to come potentially. Between the continued rain and the additional flooding as the snow in the Virginia mountains melts there is the potential for a lot more damage.

Terms of lives lost this won't even come close to Katrina.

I don't think so, ~45 dead it sounds like so far and Katrina killed over a thousand (nearly two?) Katrina was basically a half 9/11

Didn't know about the mountains in Virginia - sorry to hear it. Thanks for the info.

Missouri Task Force One was dispatched to either NYC or NJ. (urban search and rescue) I'm not sure for where, but it doesn't sound promising.
