I’d be embarrassed in front of anyone from the Gulf Coast making some of the statementsI heard on the air this week. I heard a little bit of Cuomo’s presser — praising NYers about their reacion to all the warnings. I half expected him to say next, “Of course NYers are smarter and better behaved than southern folks.”
I didn’t hear anywhere near the hysteria over the tornado that hit Tuskaloosa, for instance. Far more damage and loss of life. Is that just because all of our news is centered in NY?
Furthermore, we get more property damage and loss of life every year through various tornadoes in the upper midwest and it barely makes the air, or print. We had an entire town wiped out in Wisconsin 2 years ago, and they didn’t even qualify as a disaster area.
