Hurricane Irene: Don't Believe The Hype

Maybe you should take your own advice and look at dictionary.com.

Oh wait, I did it for you.

Nope, not a word.

See in English, if you're going to use words you may call fancy, you still have to spell 'em right, especially if you carry on about people not understanding you.



And Thriller, anytime a hurricane hits land fall, it's a big deal. Just because the east coast now is better equipped to sustain a hurricane than the gulf coast, doesn't make it insignificant. We get microburst winds that you mentioned. They're getting those winds for hours on end.

Anytime the EC is faced with anything, they cry about it. Why? Because they're soft. Because they feel like because they have so much population that they're the most important part of America.

Again, why the hell does the Big East get an automatic BCS game? Cuz they're soooooooooooo competitive with their .500 teams with multiple losses? Or because of their large population base which equals more TVs which equals more $$$ for the NCAA?

Get so tired of the EC thinking they're so damn important. An inch of snow falls on the ground, and they close down for days. What wimps
 
This might take the cake as one of the most poorly trolled threads of all time. The saddest part is that a few people actually went with it.

Stop reading the news and watching tv. It will give you more time to yell at those damn kids on your lawn.
 
I lucked out - no power outages, no falling trees. Only a little water in my basement when my trap backed up; it's almost gone already.

Lots of flooding in my town though - a few trees down and lots of streets closed off. A couple of my friends are going to be stuck pumping water out of their basements for the next couple days.

Me too. No trees. No power outages basically. Basement's bone dry. And to think I almost got a back-up sump pump.
 
We got flooding in the San Joaquin Valley (California) and power outages in the Eastern Townships (Quebec) every winter. Nothing to see here, I guess.

Ding ding ding!!!
 
So there's some wind? Where in this country isn't there wind? Some rain? Hell, it rained a ton up in salt lake last night! Flooding? Just ask those hundreds of farmers in Cache Valley about flooding.

Yet, you don't hear us crying about it. Lamstream media isn't reporting Utah's flooding. Or Texas's drought. Or anything in Cali.

Yet, by the sounds of it, you'd swear Irene was a disaster on the scale of Katrina or Haiti, or the Asian tsunamis.

Did it not hit the Carolinas hard (I'm too lazy to look it up)?

Edit: Ya, 14 deaths, most of which occurred in the Carolinas, plus widespread power outages. A legit hurricane down there. Downgraded to a tropical storm today for the Northeast.
