“Henderson Field was shelled nightly by the Japanese navy but was always open for business the following day.”

I’m guessing that some physics guy could figure out the amount of energy per shell x 100 shells per hour x 12 hours compared to whatever a hurricane produces.

I imagine it is at a ratio of 1:1,000,000

Of course a military field during wartime just needs some potholes filled to keep the planes moving.

This about as dumb analogy as I’ve seen on FR. And, there have been some dumb ones....
