people should realize its much deeper than that.
right now people are sitting on top homes and flood water is rising, yet people think its a "close call?"
i just dont get it.
my mom will possibly be displaced from her home for weeks this is far from over.
my mom evacuated from New Orleans to Houston, my aunt is in Dallas, and others who I know In Biloxi and Mississippi have moved further inland as well.
this was not a "close one" because people are still enduring it, its nowhere near over.
You realize people are trapped in collapsed buildings as we type?
its far from "close one"
imagine yourself trpped in buildings with flood water rising and think about "close ones."

FletchXXX I couldn't agree more. This "close one" bullshit is very weak. I heard about the "close one" Four times last year. ( when I stll lived in florida) I watched and witnessed damage far beyond what the national news could ever show people. And people who are not there will NEVER understand. I can't imagine that area being below sea level taking on that much water and not experiencing massive damage.
The Superdome lost a few tiles off the roof so far. While this makes for a good headline. it doesn't begin to show you the 1000's of homes that are filled to the roof top with water.
It sure shows me alot about people who come to this board and feel the bodycount is too low therfore this storm was overhyped? a let down?
The only thing disappointing is people who lack the ability to comprehend damage. Real damage to the people who work the 40k a year job that has just lost everything. Or the horror of a family os 3 in a hotel that collapsed and now they sit in the rubble waiting for the storm to pass in hopes someone will find them.
I could go on and on but why bother. I know " this is gfy" and all the other weak assed excuses for very poor actions.
