This is a huge story! Can’t believe there’s so little about it.

Strong self reliant people who tend to deal with crises don't seem to get the attention that third world types do. Just the way it is.

There was a tornado that hit (I can't remember where) a somewhat working class region of some mid Atlantic state years back and it barely made any news. The people there rose up dealt with the devastation themselves.

I remember a few years ago, the midwest was hit with horrific flooding. Entire towns were underwater. A lake broke through the earth around it and emptied. The major networks barely made a peep about it. A handful of areas had people demanding money, but for the most part, we handled it ourselves.

I think I still have a photo of kids surfing down the sidewalks :)

It’s the same here in Alabama.

On April 27, 2011, 62 tornadoes devastated Northern & Central Alabama & 243 people were killed. The super outbreak received very little attention in the media. I guess the Royal Wedding was more important. (Sarcasm)

The horrific damage in Tuscaloosa received some attention because of the University of Alabama, but the story received none of the coverage that Hurricane Katrina received.

Speaking of Katrina, the Gulf Coast of Mississippi was the hardest hit area from Katrina, but New Orleans received all the attention & sympathy.
