I know people will be hurt and there will be damage but I’m having a hard time getting worked up about this storm. Living in the Southeastern US teaches you what a real hurricane is. All this non-stop news coverage about a Cat 1 storm, pffft. I keep thinking to myself “You bunch of damn babies! Call me if a real hurricane shows up.”
My wife says ‘Well, that part of the country isn’t used to this sort of thing so they’re not prepared. It’s the same as a bad snow storm down here. Our infrastructure just isn’t designed for it.” I know, I know, but I just can’t help feeling that the reason this storm is soooo important is because it’s landing up around NYC where all the “important” people live. If it was a Cat 2 or 3 smashing into Butt Scratch, Alabama none of these people would even care. (Well, except for the weather guys. They just love having their picture taken in a high wind.)
It’s obvious you have no idea where hurricanes go after they’ve come through your neighborhood.
