Exactly. Parts of Carolina shores were flooded during hurricane Matthew last year. too much rain for the area to handle. Too much building going on where they never built before. Buy a new house and find out a couple of years later find out its in a river when the area gets hit aith 12” of rain. All the while the developers and city planni g board memebers get richer and live up hill..

AMEN!!!

A lot of people were being irresponsible enough in their fearmongering to warrant the label “criminal”.

On the other hand, until the last 24 hours or so it really wasn’t clear how bad this was going to be. We dodged a bullet here.

This is why individuals need to stay cool, calm and collected, to stay informed not through the news media but through weather monitoring services, and to give professional fearmongers a wide, wide berth.

I love how Trump started the storm and then ended it.

So how do all the TV networks get some poor schmuck to stand out in the wind and rain while the camera guy is behind a protective wall? This has got to be a simply “Do It Or You Are Fired!”

in FL they tie a ribbon to a post, with a floozie in a windbreaker, a sprinkle and a breeze, and pretend it's a hurricane.

I didn’t see that, but it reminded me of course of the infamous episode on NBC a couple of years ago — Michelle Kosinski reporting as she half-assedly paddled a canoe down a street. Wait for it...

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed..."

but to the leftists chagrin:

The whole result of practical politics is to keep the populace armed.

This guy of Fox has to be the worst actor I have ever seen, clutching at the chain like he’s about to be blown away. His balance does not change a bit when he lets go. It’s actually quite entertaining if you liked B movies.

thanks, good to know it's not just me. I've been enduring their crap for 20 years. it never changes: just like the Trump bilge, it's all they got.

Even tonight it was being compared to the flooding and damage from Hurricane Harvey last year.

Obama’s policies downgraded the storm, didn’t you catch his speech this week?

I have, on occasion, seen a wider view that shows how contrived and fake these shots are. Maybe I can find one.

[Nifster]

Don’t be foolish. Tons of rain and lots of flooding still happening
