I whole heartidly agree..Its a country of cowards and anyone who dies trying to evacuate or getting back from evacuating quite frankly deserves to die. It's survival of the fittest and dumb easily minipulated people should die before they reproduce and pass on those cowardly jeans to thier offspring.
Actually this might be just like Katrina, the orignal storm wasn't so bad, but the later flooding is what broke the back of Orleans. The ground is saturated and as Irene adds to the runoff issues, flooding will be worse than the storm surge.

Saving that one for posterity.
The flooding's greatest impact may be far from view. The challenge of New York is that so much of the electricity and other infrastructure is below the surface.
That means flooding could bring life in the city to a standstill even after waters recede.
Oh whatever Mr Doom n Gloom..They got 5.75 inches of rain in 2 days. They got 14 inches in the last few weeks so stop acting like it's the end of the world.

It wont be nearly has bad as the Mississipi flooding this summer and nobody here cared about that. If you let the media dictate what you do and don't care about you'll end up obsessing over things like the Casey Anthony trial.
The people that stayed in New York are sunbathing at the beach today, while the people that listened to mayor jewishberg and governor Christly in his size 15X war room jacket are stuck in a traffic jam right now.

Exactly. And you are only looking at rainfall amounts. You failed to take into consideration that much rain has saturated the ground so it can't absorb any more.
Did you ever read Aesop's story of the ant and the grasshopper?
Anyone else notice the theme in todays media coverage of Irene? It's all look at this picture, see, it was really bad, see, and look at this 10 foot section of rail in New Jersey that is partially submerged, see, so it was really bad. You told you so. See were were right all along..The sky was falling
And this contant public condemnation of the people that thought for themselves and stayed put is really gettin old.
