Sheesh.. you would think a tropical storm was something "special" - but seems it's only something special when it hits the US.

So far this current storm has travelled over a few island, caused loads of damage and killed some folks, but there is absolute minimum mention of that in the US media. It's only if actually hits the US it seems to be a thing of interest and massive concern.

When a hurricane hit Guatamala a few years back and killed 12,000 people and left loads more homeless and distressed, the most mention that got, even in the "better" press was some comments of the back page. The coverage in the US was... just speechless. There is one hell of a load of "I'm all right Jack" while other countries acted and started assisting.

A couple of years back one hurricane sat still over the Virgin Islands and battered the shit out of the place for three days - again, no mention in the US.

Quit being a load of self-centred "girly boys" - there is nothing more peaceful than having a decent drink in the eye of a hurricane:-) Ya can be assured of peace - it's very peaceful and birds come out again and even the sun can shine:-)
