Hurricane Irene: Don't Believe The Hype

Jeez weather is everywhere. Tired of these people complaining about a little rain and wind. "Where's my daddy?" "Where's my baby?" Wah wah wah. Let me call the wahmbulance. *******.

****, I had it rain in the window of my prius the other day. Almost got my upholstery wet. Good thing I had an appointment to get it detailed.

See? It's all the same.
 
#1- Amazing how many idiots have to chime in about this. (how the **** does tufftiger have rep 6?)

Anyway, I had the opportunity to work in Mississippi immediately after Katrina. We drove for three days straight to get to Gulf Port. I live in Montana, and at the time I worked for a company that provided portable showers to the crews that work on the forest fires in the west(obviously a part-time gig). My experience down there was absolutely amazing, but I will give a few bits and pieces for now. I talked to literally hundreds of victims, who ranged from rich beach-front property owners to poor working class. Anyway, this was mississippi. After a month, I thought they were going to keep me there for a while, so I decided to have my motorcycle shipped down there. Only way was to have it shipped into New orleans. Long story short, I talked to an old-timer(white guy) who worked in the warehouse where I picked up my bike. Dude told me a story about when he was a kid, they dynamited the levees to flood the poor areas and save the rich. He grew up in the area, and he said it was true. Up until then, I believed it WAS ALL HYPE.

After this experience, I have nothing but disgust for idiots who yap yap yap.

Irene HYPE? If this storm had been a killer, nothing but cry-babies. It didn't kill? Now it's hype. Next time, I hope the hype kills you and all the jackasses you call family.

So there's some wind? Where in this country isn't there wind? Some rain? Hell, it rained a ton up in salt lake last night! Flooding? Just ask those hundreds of farmers in Cache Valley about flooding.

Yet, you don't hear us crying about it. Lamstream media isn't reporting Utah's flooding. Or Texas's drought. Or anything in Cali.

Yet, by the sounds of it, you'd swear Irene was a disaster on the scale of Katrina or Haiti, or the Asian tsunamis.

Irene killed 40 people dude.
 
So is this still hype? Or do deaths make it no longer hype? So how many deaths are allowed in a "hype" anyway? A dozen? 30?

I recall on the news today that there are still close to 2 million people without power and they were showing NJ, parts of which are under 8' of water.

I would definitely say that I was beyond lucky.

There are some towns literally within walking distance of my house that have been told they won't have any electricity until after Labor Day.

A large percentage of my town is within a "flood zone" some of the hardest hit people had to be saved from their house by the fire department from the second floor of their house because their entire basement AND most of their first floor were flooded.
 
I'm headed back up to the Eastern Townships of Quebec in a couple weeks, and I'm interested in the local damage. Apparently the Mississquoi river rose something like 13 feet, putting a bunch of **** under water. Fortunately, our house is up on a high hill, so there won't be any flooding, but I suppose there's a chance one of the big trees by the house blew over and did some damage (although I'd think the neighbors would alert my pops if that were the case).
