The pronouncements of approaching apocalyptic rainfall were everywhere. Be afraid!! Be very very afraid! Good Lord. It rained. Heavily in some places. The usual locations flooded. Media struggling to pay for operations peddles hysteria.
The far-left meatheads in the DNC’s mainstream media own the ignorant John Q. Public. If it’s on the news or TV, IT MUST BE TRUE! IT MUST BE!
Hold on.
That is their function; to warn people. Hurricanes often peter out. If they did not warn people and the hurricane killed people; what would you say then?
Skeering California leftists is a whole lot different than us in flyover country. It’s going to take zombies in the streets to even listen to the MSM/gummit etc. Let those retards self-destruct on their own. Also see a conflict brewing here, Xiden is on way out both politically and of the earthly life and if Newsome is waiting in the wings he’s got quite a bit of ‘splaining to do.
Well, I said in another thread that this hurricane is getting too much attention, compared with the ones that strike the east coast. How much of the hype is because liberals think California is the most important state?
i have to disagree w/DP. flash flooding hit certain parts of SoCal with a vengeance - particularly Cathedral City, Palm Springs/environs. that could have been Van Nuys or Simi if that had been the storm track which one only knew when it hit. reSunday night Angelenos were told to stay off roads due to drainage issues possibilities of accidents on roads due to hydroplaning on oily roads. i’m the first one to complain about government action or lack thereof but feel this time to err on the side of caution was the sane approach. if it hadn’t and rain had been more torrential in population centers, condemnations would have been many. unfortunately MNature didn’t file her flight plan w/the Mayor or Gov ahead of time. how inconsiderate lol.
My father was listening to it - he was 14 - didn’t panic. He told us the story many times.
Since the most historic situation happening right now is the Hunter/Big Guy story... I'm surprised there aren't more postings. It's the story people will still be talking about in 500 years.
I was in TN two weeks ago and they had a line of thunderstorms pass through. Evidently, some cells produced hail. The local weatherman came on and talked for over 30 minutes about the thunderstorms. I was watching a movie, which ended while Dufus was telling me how hail is formed.
I think a lot of TV stations, MSM outlets, and gov’t agencies use minor events to warrant keeping their funding or think such broadcasts serve “their public interest” mandates. A two minute warning with updates is probably more effective than over 30 minutes of some weather hack droning on about the same thing. Indeed, I wonder how many switched to another channel after a few minutes.
Agreed, kinda. The hyperbole was really something to witness. Over the top Fear Porn. I’d be fine with “A major tropical storm is headed our way. Please take any necessary precautions, and avoid low-lying/flood-prone areas.”
It’s not just that many folks are easy to fool.
The bigger issue is until very recently, the public was able to believe what these authorities had to say.
It was rare that we would be lied to on a massive scale of deception. Then Ebola happened, followed by Zika, followed by Covid, followed by The Great Election Fraud of 2020, soon to be followed by Trans Rights.
Any chance we can keep L.A. locked down permanently? ;)
Yes proof the fox always goes after the slow sheep.
Then where did all those scary-looking photos come from?
The Democrat enemymedia will portray Newsom as the hero who prevented much loss of life.
ππππππππππ Thank you sir may I have another?
Don’t forget the news of the 84 MPH gust (not mentioned it was on the top of a mountain).
I hope they got away from the drainage system as those giant ants can be a menace.
You’d think all that water would have made the giant ants leave the drainage tunnels.
