Enough, Already.

Okay, I get it.  Y'all had a storm in New York.  Big whoop.  It's been two or three whole days in the news cycle, but the wind quit whipping early this morning.  By now y'all should have pumped out the tunnels at least and be well on your way to getting the electricity turned back on.  It's not like you've got to slog through a swamp.  Pretty much everything in New York is paved.  The trucks should be able to get in easily.

Get to work, quit whining, and start rebuilding.  That's what Louisianans and Floridians do after a storm.  Y'all had a little measly Cat 1 and I didn't even see that it spawned any tornadoes or anything.  The death toll is what?  About 30?  Sucks to be them, but that's not hardly enough to talk about.  Hell, Tuscaloosa lost more than that to a tornado last year.

I thought New Yorker's were tough.

But if the lame stream media keeps beating the weather drum...then youforget the real problems facing Americans....high unemployment, trillins lost to green energy jobs, trillions owed the commies, etc, etc, etc.

Yeah,I hear ya about being "tough"; shoot, maybe we need to have more disasters to help "temper" the metal of Americans!?!?

If they want to put some folks to work they might want to be thinking about the lack of preparedness and what would have happened if they'd had a Cat 4 or so. May want to work on a bit of infrastructure there.

And the weather talking heads in the field were something else. Standing in front of 1 or 2 by 10 or 12 lumber washed up on the grass, we are told they are 2x4s. And later what we are told is a 150-year-old tree is referred to as having been there forever.

Answer - NY is liberal Dem. Therefore, they will get more coverage.

A Cat 4 would have been the best thing that could have happened there.
Wash all the garbage out to sea, you know?

I've been through 4 tornadoes and 1 microburst. Also a 125 mph straight line wind tornado thing that wasn't called a tornado. I'm not getting into blizzards and ice storms. We never got any kind of news coverage even when our town got half leveled by a tornado. I also forgot the yearly floods. Never saw red cross or FEMA.
