[Mr. H.]

You could at least post some mud wrestling pictures.

The post-Katrina mud pics are available, but the post-Sandy ones haven't happened yet.

Katrina - Major damage in 2 states

Sandy - Major damage in 14 states

you forgot the size of Sandy. over a thousand miles across, merging with two other systems , one of which is a northeaster, only baroclinally enhancing its effects, bringing in a storm that apears to be one in 250 years. Breaking the record of the Long Island Express as well as records of recorded surge in Battery Park - the record of 1821.

 

[Mr. H.]

Yeah, but Sandy resurrected Godzilla.

Florida, Louisianan, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia were all hard hit by Katrina, it also affected Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ohio, New York, Wet Virginia, Pennsylvania and even parts of Canada before it was done. Also, don't forget the the Northeast states are mush smaller in geographical size.

 

[Mr. H.]

What did the big hurricane say to the little hurricane?

It's all in how you spin it.

oh... has fauxnews already told you how to make excuses for the fact that this president is going to do so much better a job of disaster relief than baby bush did?

nice.

i love watching the excuse factory as it starts up.

These were two different beasts. Why ANYONE would even think that one is more important than another is beyond me. Do some people here really have a problem with information being provided when any area is being unusually threatened? No matter where it may be, or what it entails?

What the heck is wrong with this picture??

This is beyond sick.

You know it wasn't the wind, it was the flooding. The Big Easy wasted millions of federal dollars and neglected the levees. When they broke they blamed Bush. In Sandy's case it was the ocean that destroyed much of the Jersey shore, Md., Conn and Del. Let's see if they blame Obama.

Well, they certainly won't blame gays.

Ohio, By God, and PA were far worse hurt by Hurricane Ike. Trust me, kid, this storm will ultimately prove worse than any of 'em.

I just listed some facts I pulled from the internet.
I'm not sure why you interpreted them to mean anything other than what they are, facts.
I said nothing about about how anything was being handled, nothing about a president, nothing about FEMA.
Thou dost protest to loudly.

Kneejerk was your reaction, keep it up, it says a lot more about you than it does about me.

Good point. list some facts about those hurricanes, but try and make them better than the mistake you made about Katrina.

it's always fun to watch the passive aggressive types flail.

All three states, as well as Illinois, Indiana, New York, and New Jersey suffered massive flooding and power outages. The power outages lasted longer than normal because power crews from those states had been sent to Texas.

But even that wasn't as bad as Sandy.

The current average temperature is in the low 40s. If the power goes out, people will die from hypothermia.
