My understanding is that massive hurricanes with the accompanying power surges and days submerged in dirty water can cause significant damage to ext4 filesystems. This is *obviously* the fault of inadequate testing and the people responsible should be ashamed of themselves for not running ext4 tests at the bottom of swimming pools like any *real* filesystems developer would.
