Preparations and Impact
In all, Josephine indirectly caused two fatalities and left $130 million dollars in damage (1996 USD, $158 million 2005 USD).
Because damage from Josephine was not regarded as significant enough to warrant retirement of the name it was used again in 2002 and in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words preparations and/or impact:
“At the ramparts on the cliff near the old Parliament House I counted twenty-four thirty-two-pounders in a row, pointed over the harbor, with their balls piled pyramid-wise between them,—there are said to be in all about one hundred and eighty guns mounted at Quebec,—all which were faithfully kept dusted by officials, in accordance with the motto, “In time of peace prepare for war”; but I saw no preparations for peace: she was plainly an uninvited guest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Conquest is the missionary of valour, and the hard impact of military virtues beats meanness out of the world.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
