I don’t want to laugh at someone’s misfortunes (usually, unless it is obama manhandling an umbrella, etc.). But I think pointing out how unprepared people are is okay.
My BIL is in NJ. Last year they had a storm and he had no cash on hand, power was out all over, bad roads so he couldn’t drive. Wife and two kids. He was saying how they were “out of food” and when he walked into town he couldn’t even buy anything because he only had a credit card (power was out).
Sad to say, but a year later with this storm, I expect to hear a similar story.
I told my wife yesterday to text him to get ready, but she said “Why? He’s not going to listen.”
With this ample warning that people received, it should have given the people who are affected by it, plenty of time to prepare.
I just sincerely hope that none of them read Free Republic and the posters who are saying ... “It’s no big deal! ... because THOSE FREEPERS are the real idiots!
