It’s not just much ado about nothing.
A cat 3 hurricane is nothing to sneeze at and people will die as always happens during severe weather.
People NEED to be prepared instead of depending on government hand outs to take care of them.
How ironic that they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.
If they prep, they are alarmists, and if they don’t they are castigated for depending on the government to take care of them.
Nothing is good enough for some people.
People should prepare. No doubt about it.
The thing is, this is a FR thread to discuss current events and articles. My comments are more about the “cry wolf” press not being believable any more.
It’s not about this particular storm at all.
That one of the reasons I will not choose to live in a hurricane area. Tornadoes? I will sit outside and watch them come (have done so many times). Fires? Well, I will go up wind. -20F winters? Well, I might have to be careful taking the dog out and not grill that night.
Flooding in a low lying area from storm surge? No thank you. I am heading inland. My wife LOVES the ocean, and my paranoid fear of hurricanes has caused some arguments about retirement options. She wants to retire to the Outer Banks. I want Wyoming.
