What water, wetland protection is all about
"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.

Just so it goes out to sea with no real damage. I have kids, grandkids, and great grandkids on the coast of Connecticut. We are all watching the track very closely.
In addition, if they haven't rebuilt according to recommendations and done things to help prevent damage, we will definitely find out, if it makes a direct hit in the NJ, NY, CT areas.
