China Evacuates 600,000 as Typhoon Strikes South
From Associated Press


SHANGHAI ? Nearly 600,000 people were evacuated as Typhoon Talim plowed into southern China on Thursday, forcing authorities to shut down schools, highways and airports, officials said.

Despite waves up to 30 feet high, Fujian television said, there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage from Talim, which means sharp or cutting edge in the Tagalog language of the Philippines

Shut up you hater !!!!!! :mad:

What is there to learn.

New Orleans told their people to leave and they didn't leave.

you dont tell people to leave!
we make laws to wear seatbelts,motorcycle helmets required, stay off drugs, to tell kids what to eat in school all in the name of our own public safety...and we cant force evacuate an area in the face of a cat. 5 hurricane?They told them to leave! ha these people didnt have cars nor were there any buses plus they live week to week and chek to check and they didnt have money for the welfare checks dont come untill monday!
So where were the buses?
Where was public transportation?
Why werent the erderly and sick evacuated they surely cant leave on their own? oh THEY WERE TOLD! should they wheel their own hospital beds or nursing home beds ??
come on!

If they really wanted to get out they could have.

Are you suggesting that local government should evacuate people before flooding ?

At least FEMA if not forced at least provide adequate alternatives !

where I'm from, Canada, most of us would be too drunk to pass an evacuation LMAO

china is smarter and really cares for their people?

I bet a vast majority of them didn't even know a hurricane was coming until it got there.

That is how out of tune people are these days with news, etc

no blacks in China ....

Bingo. That is one reason why I just dont care about these people in New Orleans. They were ALL told to evacuate because of an approaching hurricane. They chose to stay, and ride it out. Well, good luck to them.

Now that's fucking efficiency.

im visualising china used a little more force than the US did.. US asked nicely, China ordered and came in with guns and trucks.

either way a tradgedy :(

Like I said ealier I bet alot of them weren't even paying attention.

It's amazing how so many people just don't have a clue to whats going on in the world.

Yestersay I ran into somebody who didn't even know a hurricane has hit down there!

It's not FEMA's job to evacuate people from cities it's the city and state's responsibility.

The city of NO has a plan to use school buses to take the poor our 3 days before a hurricane - why they didn't I don't know?

Exactly why this catastrophe happened ... passing the buck to the other ...
No, it's not me .. it's you ... :1orglaugh

It has always been the states responsibility to evacuate.

This is why we have city/state levels of government. To govern situations on that level.

I get the feeling the majority of you guys have never lived around hurricanes.

These people have probably been heard dozens of times that a hurricane was coming to get them... but almost every time that turns out to be false. Hurricanes are very hard to track (as you may have noticed by the 500 mile radius they project it to hit on)... it makes it *really* hard for people to leave, especially if you are poor.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the hurricane itself isn't really as big of a deal. They come, blow shit around.. and then leave. A lot of people ride these things out. The levees breaking is what screwed up NO.

Back in North Carolina, we used to just go buy a bunch of booze when a hurricane was coming. They just aren't viewed as threatening as this one turned out to be.

Poor people don't have the luxury of getting in a car and driving 300 miles inland just because a storm MIGHT be coming at them. Think about it.

:1orglaugh well, you always have to learn with someone :upsidedow

This is exactly right. The Mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, is completely at fault. He knows his city better than anyone and should have transported people using their mass transit system long before the storm hit. The problem was that he was paralyzed by 'analysis paralysis' and simply could not make the decisions he had to make. Then he goes and blames it on the federal government. He was supposed to follow certain protocols and he didn't. The governor of LA was supposed to follow certain protocols and she didn't either. Then, through their inability to act, the city is faced with 10's of thousands of deaths, and they want to push all of the responsibility off on FEMA (which does have it's own faults) and try to absolve themselves of any responsibility. It's simply a case of politicians covering their asses at the expense of the victim's lives. It's a sad, sad thing. GWB said 3 days ago that the response was totally inadequate and accepted the responsibility of FEMA's fuck up. He then repeated it the next day. But you see how fast the active military got moving once he mandated they move in. It was the lack of local leadership that caused this problem and they most certainly have the blood of innocent people on their hands for their incompetence.

Yeah, but they can get like 6 Chinese in a shoebox so 1 truck can haul a shit load of em.
