“The media is so over the top on this, hyping and fear monkeying as usual. Is there any storm that is not ‘the biggest ever’?”
What hurricane affected you?
I witnessed the aftermath of a “Category 1” storm. It was not pretty to see homes in splinters, homes washed away, homes flooded that resulted in mold and all contents destroyed.
When Hurricane Sandy hit the Jersey Shore, occupants of areas had to evacuate on October 27-28th. It hit on October 29th. Gas, electric, and water lines were destroyed in the towns. Roads were destroyed. Residents were not permitted to return to their homes for three months...until the end of January. They had to comply because the bridge leading to their homes was closed.
It was during the school year. Makeshift schools were created. People lived in shelters for three months. Clothes and food had to be donated.....
Tell us about your experience during a hurricane.
I was in several growing up and since. Also other storms. I dismiss media hype and do-gooder government that want everyone afraid of their shadows. If you live in an at risk home or you are not prepared then act. If you are prepared, stay. But all the hysterics is almost comical. Everyone acts like it is the first storm ever, the largest storm ever, that everyone is totally unprepared and live in 3rd world shacks on the water. We have become a nation of helpless wimps needing government to know best and tell us what to do and the crowd then backs it up. Pathetic.
