Feds Give $102M In Storm Prevention To 11 States

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Eleven states in the eastern U.S. will share $102.7 million in grants from the federal government to protect against future storms, with the greatest amount of funded projects in New Jersey and New York.

The U.S. Department of the Interior's Hurricane Sandy Coastal Resilience Grant Program will fund a variety of projects to protect communities at risk from future big storms like the October 2012 event that pummeled the East Coast.

The money comes from a Sandy relief bill passed by Congress.

"We know we have a lot to learn from Mother Nature," Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said Monday. "Climate change is going to make weather events more frequent and more severe."

    And just like the Sandy relief funds, half of this money will be wasted, or stolen.

    Looks like very little of this has anything to do with relief after the storm. It looks more like a big waste to make the fish happy. Did Blackwater get hit as hard as Crisfield? I dont think so.

    Yeah, leave Crisfield out of it to be vulnerable for the next storm. Real smucking fart.
