Evening Talon - good rant and well deserved; flyover country is just that, it simply doesn’t register. Us mid-westerners think differently of course. We’ve been following it closely, having coworkers with parents, family and friends in your area as well as across the state. Illinois is next, Missouri will follow though it’s unlikely we’ll have it as bad as you all did up there. We’ve seen the slides from and of the folk’s offices both before and after.
My heart goes out to those folks who lost their homes, lost their possessions and are now being kept from getting back to them until ‘authorities’ will permit them in. That’s my mini-rant.
That's one reason they have a hard time evacuating the Outer Banks when a hurricane's coming. People don't want to be kept out of their properties for weeks after.
