Appalachia's Katrina: Does Anyone Care?

[1srelluc]

Yea, lets not politicize this shit. That sounds terrible. How much rain did they get?

All I know is they got between 19 and 26 inches.

 

[Manonthestreet]

yep, simply amazing how alike the two sides are

mirror images of e

ach other

Not even close.

Even a month's worth of preps would not help many there.....Three months without power means no gas for the ginny, even if you can get to a gas station with power, all the bridges are out.

Those folks are in for a long tough haul.

Why three months? WTH? Usually its two or three weeks at worst.

Wow. That storm was moving fast which usually limits the rain.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Not even close.

Dude, both sides excuse their actions by pointing out the other side did it also, like you did in your first response to me.

It slowed down and stalled over the NC/TN area. My mom lives in the heart of all of this and when I talked to her on Thursday before the storm had even hit Florida they had 22 hours straight of rain. That was before it got bad.

Due to the amount of damage and how widespread it is. Some places will be back quicker, but the further out you are, the longer it will take.

It stalled over them.

I didn't point it out..you did.......

It's prudent to get things cleaned up ASAP because this is going to happen again and again. This isn't a once in a lifetime thing. Unfortunately.

But she did finally go to the border for a photo-op to console the poor "migrants" and give them hope.

Indeed .. the ones that have been registered to vote from a 'glitch' or 'administrative anomaly.'

here is you blaming your side's actions on those of the other side...you are no different than they are.

Depends on how soon bridges can be repaired/replaced/reopened.....It does not matter how "far out" they are.

Many bridges were totally swept away or suffered major damage and will have to be removed/rebuilt.

I suspect temporary bridges can be used over the smaller streams....When they can get to them.

I've already heard of locals making temp low-water bridges of logs.

You low-rent political hacks are despicable.

The politicians in Florida are telling people with electric vehicles to move them out of the garage and away from structures. They are catching fire with the salt water. Electric vehicles have some work to do.

who gives a fuck about EVs when entire towns have been washed away?

It does matter how "far out" they are as they restore power to the largest groups first and work their way out.

Oh shit, ok. that explains.

Haven't blamed anyone for current situation. Merely pointed out libs hypocrisy

A real President would at least show up. Maybe fly over the scene of the disaster, stop, talk with residents, ask them what they need....

You know, like something Trump would have done.

Has Trump done that?

No?

Interesting. I guess he only cares if he’s President. Thanks for the confirmation.
