We’re not being arrogant and/or flip but a lot of people on here have been though many hurricanes and tropical storms and we know the difference and know what to do and what not to do, particularly people in Florida and Texas. I think the biggest problem the north eastern part of the country has is that it is populated by people who live like sardines and have little basic intelligence about how to cope with any deviation to their normal day so they once believe the MSM and FEMA and are led around like sheep.
is the tree on top of my friend's house somehow different because it's a tropical storm and not a hurricane?
while the media certainly profits off of the hype, and I share my fellow conservatives' disgust with the learned helplessness and entitlement culture displayed my most of the evacuees, this (like it or not) unique event is far from minor for those of us in its path, and the contempt for the region WILL be taken personally by your ideological brethren here.
