scottythecomic's whimsical rantings

Overrated is an understatement... and no need, EVER, of 24/7 5 days coverage. My gosh,you'd think the 'news' ppl were having an orgy on some possible storm. Dreadful over coverage - nothing new.
And yes, thanks to the Republican Governor... things were totally handled correctly. He was in contact with FEMA days in advacne, unlike the Dem Gov, who didn't want to talk to "Bush's ppl".

Ppl are told to leave, most of the time they don't... so they die or lose their homes. But, it's their choice. They just have to be willing to pay it and not whine about it afterwards. Katrina was flooding, not wind. Money had been sent for decades to improve the levee and the democrat leadership spent it elsewhere.

THIS MUCH COVERAGE was totally unnecessary and silly - but they will do it again.

scotty, they usually DO ignore and die. Thus, Katrina. It's normal human behavior and then when it goes really wrong, they whine like it wasn't their own fault. As if the government should have SAVED them from their own ignorant selves.
The big will happen but I think it will be during the Tribulation. Much of California gone? Probably.

I wonder if the government could make a positive out of this good evacuation and use it to train people how to go the next time.
It was good training.

That's always a problem, Native. I'll be sending you an email today.

What's the point?

eh, if they HADN'T called for an evacuation, and it WAS bad (your guess is as good as theirs) and disaster struck yet again....then you (and the evacuees) would blamed nagin, the meteoroligist, and the fact that the majority of them were black. you can be lumped in with the people that complain about the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter, the drought when it doesn't rain then wishes for the rain to go away. you cannot be happy or thankful that it was not a total disaster.

scotty, is it? yeah, most adults drop the 'y' after....say, 5th grade?

they shouldn't have evacuated. it was a choice. even when katrina called for mandatory evacuations, dumbasses still stayed and then went wah-wah-wah all the way to FEMA.

i agree with hurricanes being overrated. i am not arguing with you there. it is a catch 22 for nagin and the media. when katrina hit, n.o. blamed nagin, media, and anyone that wasn't poor for the disaster. this time, nagin decided to TELL them to evacuate and tax dollars PAID for them to leave, and the cities they evacuated to did nothing but accomodate them AT NO EXPENSE and they STILL complained? the evacuation itself turned out to be THE disaster for the evacuees.

i do not feel sorry for them having to take an all-expense-paid minivacation, that's all.

Crying wolf..yeah, I absolutely HATE these people that are always like..bleh, it was overrated..don't blame the meteorologists..like I said before..why don't you TRY to figure out where the storm is going to go. There's MUCH more behind the scenes than you realize..and don't come complaining once severe weather hits here and say it was overrated once again just to be able to have it on TV and cut off so and so show..who really CARES! I'm a storm spotter and actually send reports to channel 4..so, just leave it be!
