Floods v. blizzards is still a comparison of two vastly different phenomena. Surely you can see that the New Orleans flood was far more severe than the blizzard that just hit Montana.

Nope

Just different types of water.

I've been through both and the only difference is, the quality of people. Those who whine for someone to do something for them, versus those tough enough to do things on their own.

The class of people up here is far different from the whiners and criers we've seen on TV since Katrina hit.

Might I remind you, 9 years ago we had both. A flood and a blizzard back to back (basically the flood waters were frozen solid over the town).

It virtually destroyed several towns and cities in North Dakota. But other than 2 or 3 days of coverage, nothing else was said about it. Nobody whined because the guvmint wasn't there to give them 2000 dollar credit cards. Nobody whined and complained that they didn't get their welfare check. Nobody complained and bitched that Fema didn't have busses there to take them all to Houston or in our case, Pierre South Dakota.

They were thankful for the help they got, they rolled up their sleeves one and all and got to work rebuilding their towns and cities.

THAT is class
