You have no reading comprehension.
I never said it wasn’t a big rain storm. It’s (or was) a Category 1 (weak) hurricane and everyone wants to run in circles like its never rained before.
Relief agencies and help from across the country are mobilizing, even here from Texas. That is what Americans do.
They don’t act like its the end of the world like humans will be ruled by the cockroaches by Thursday.
I also do not think that it’s the job of other taxpayers to pay for anyone elses damages. That is what insurance is supposed to be for.
I wasn’t downgrading the storm, just the hyperbole.
This will likely end up being a costlier disaster than Katrina and 9/11.
So define “hyperbole?”
Now scurry along to more important world events...
There is no hyperbole in what is happening to NYC. Rain is one thing. This is something different entirely.
You’re being an absolute jerk about it.

Moron.......
I knew that you'd be embarrassed and humiliated by all your joker/degrader posts of last night.
Oh yes, you most definitely DID denigrate this entire tragedy last night, on this very website. To wit (a small sampling):
Because I’m not blaming the full moon for storm surge? Does it matter whether its full or not? It’s still there with the same gravitational effect.
It’s not half as powerful as Katrina was supposed to be. If the old levies hadn’t failed, that bowl would have stayed okay. Just because it is the east coast the MSM is putting on a spectacular show. People are acting like it is the first time water ever fell from the sky.
The hyperbole is what is amazing. ‘We never ever ever ever ever saw anything this bad in the history of the planet!’
11” storm surge... Katrina had 30” as someone pointed out and if those levies didn’t fail, nobody would remember it.
Nobody is doubting that there is a storm and that’s its dumping a lot of water. That isn’t exactly unprecedented. We get storms here. Power gets knocked out. Twisters are formed. We watch for rotation on weather radar. We marvel at how hail can fall when its spring or summer. People lose roofs, car windows shatter, low lying areas flood (we have well known flood plains and such, everyone knows where they are when the pump-houses and ravines aren’t enough)
Acting like its the first time, as if nobody has ever dealt with it before or as if they are totally unprepared has to be amazingly short-sighted.
Cities have snow plows and sand trucks because winter comes.
And I'm not the only one who's brought this to your attention.
