in the case of NO, it was a natural phenomenon that NO knew to expect since before the city was even built. Also their levies were subpar, as evidenced by their performance. I don't discount the fact that Katrina was also a huge occurence...
Stuff like this doesn't happen hard like this in the northeast of the USA. Yea there is sometimes heavy rain but hurricanes meeting cold fronts from Canada are a thing of rarity relative to hurricanes in the South/Southeast, which usually die down a lot by the time they reach Virginia/Delaware if they even make it that far
I don't believe the media is creating useless frenzy over it all...I mean they are covering all parts of NJ and NYC which are affected pretty evenly...I think they're estimating about 50billion worth of damage, compared to Katrina's 46.6billion

Now is that useless frenzy when the cold hard numbers tell the story in that light?
anyway, my grandma in Queens is doing fine, if you care at all. Both my brothers who live in NYC are ok, as well as the one in Philly. My uncles and aunts in Queens, BK, the Bronx and other close friends are also fine for the most part. Some have lost a lot but generally have their health even though some material things have been lost.
good for your dad's family coming out ayt...but I don't believe for a second they didn't experience the gay weatherman crap you're on about.....Never for a second. All you have to do is turn on a TV the second a hurricane or whatever other disaster is coming anywhere in the USA and within just a couple a minutes there is mention of Katrina....It'd be foolish to think otherwise
