Good point....after Katrina anything less than thousands killed and entire cities under water for days will be seen as “weak.”
People will look at this storm and think “that was nothing,” but it really was pretty bad.
Could it be worse? Yeah.....this wasn’t Cat 5. But, it was bad.
Show me where and what made it “bad...”
At the height of the hype last evening the media broke in with a report of a high-speed commuter train in Chatsworth, Ca having collided with a freight train and almost immediate reports of four fatalities and many more victims of operator error caught in the mangled mess; they still haven’t extricated the bodies and now, after almost 22 hours the word is that hope is nearly lost for those still trapped.
Where are the reports of similar carnage from “the most destructive storm ever to strike Texas” that we were bambarded with all night contrasted with this quite real and visible catastrophe that was so preventable?
I wish no one harm, and moving to high ground is always the wisest move, but to turn every tropical storm into theatre serves the people poorly.
