Dude, the media has consistently over-hyped every hurricane since Katrina. Every time, nothing has happened, and all their countdowns and graphics magically disappear like nothing ever happened. I haven't seen Wolf Blitzer this happy since Hillary got the democratic nomination.
How the hell could you not know? I live on the other side of the Atlantic and I knew ahead of time that Texas was about to get hit by very severe weather.
It changed from a category 2 to a category 4 almost overnight. It was also only going about 10 MPH. That is the difference between 110 MPH wind blowing everything for 8 hours constantly to 140+ MPH wind blowing everything for 8 hours constantly
Kudos to this woman not to be blinded and impressed by media bullshit and see it and then tell it - and I really rarely use this phrase - tell it like it is and expose them for the human vultures that they are.
If it were other circumstances, I'd request AMA with her if only to tell me to fuck off.
She's safe in a shelter. If she doesn't want to talk bro the media she can control that by not talking to the media. She just wanted someone to blow up on.
Fuck that. Watch 5 minutes of ABC or Fox and they're going around pushing people for a sob story that will boost their ratings. Fuck them. Cynical cunts.
Trumptards are some of the most delusional and the most retarded people on the entire planet. This is exactly the type of video you'd expect to find them in the comments of.
Their entire worldview literally depends on them attacking the media because the media tends to say things that conflicts with what their cult leader says.
I seriously think your average Trumptard is probably more indoctrinated than your average north Korean.
Nice broad sweeping statement there, illustrating the effects of pathological ideological polarization on what I presume would otherwise be a rational adult mind.
And that's precisely what's wrong with the political clime almost everywhere in the west now: dipshits think they are morally superior and can cease to reason. You are Trump's victory personified.
REEEEEE all you want. Trump represent the people and the people are retarded. I as a single person can't do shit but laugh at it. 2 SCOOPS 2 TERMS 2 GENDERS REEEEEEEEE
Their entire worldview literally depends on them attacking the media because the media tends to say things that conflicts with what their cult leader says.
To be fair, CNN is fucking terrible. I mean, all 24-hour news networks are bad but CNN is the worst of the bunch. Not only is it incredibly biased when covering the President, it's non-presidential coverage is garbage too.
They have been conspicuously silent regarding Trump's almost proficient handling of a natural disaster...wonder if he'll use this to change his stance on climate change lol
wonder if he'll use this to change his stance on climate change lol
I hope not. His anti Global Warming stance was one of the reasons why I voted for him.
Climate change is likely happening but I don't think that humans have as much effect as the left would lead you to believe, unless you want to talk about the number of humans on the planet instead of the type of fuel we use.
Coal power plants are one of the major contributors to global warming and that cannot be denied.
Thankfully renewable resources for energy are becoming so cheap it doesn't make sense to build new coal plants and they'll soon be shut down because they're too expensive to operate compared to other sources.
i thought it was referncing the african slave trade boats and how crowded they were and how lots of people died in piss and shit because they never got to shower
tbh American crime rates would probably be lower if slavery was still around. A good number of blacks would be better off being owned by wealthy whites than they are now in inner city shitholes. Not including the lack of freedom kek
It's hard to find the numbers but of how many died while evacuating during Ike. It seems that the actual hurricane killed most of 74 in Texas. I wouldn't doubt that Harvey's death toll will be higher once the water recedes and more corpses are found.
I knew they evacuated some areas but it wasn't enough.
I mean, I'd rather have people on top of their houses instead of in the streets when the floods hit. But they couldnt have been able to effectively save everyone.
Either way, no one there had a choice so it makes no sense to blame the citizens in the flood.
As someone in Houston this one has been making the rounds. There were a few other similar types interviews. On the other hand there's been other reporters who have been incredible throughout this whole thing.
Either way, I'm far less concerned about reporters who overstep than dickbags like /u/NotAllMenAreLikeThat who try and pop out shitty agenda posts over Harvey.
You think she's currently going to be in a mental state that she can talk about the pain she's endured in the last 24 hours without breaking down and getting angry? This is probably the first time she's put it into words
This kinda reminds me of that interview of the woman after Oklahoma was hit by those tornados and the reporter kept saying "Do you thank God?" and she said "I'm an atheist." The reporter just stood there and had difficulty speaking. These reporters lack the ability to connect witb people

officials didnt even tell them to evacuate because it would cause a mass exodus and people would be in more danger in a traffic jam in the highway
unless she lived in the few areas that were alerted early, you cant even make your meme correctly smh

"Don't evacuate because you'll clog up the highway and people might die."
"Ok now evacuate in flooded cars and boats. Yes some will die. "
1 knottedfate 2017-08-29
idk how many died while retreating, but like 100 people died in 2005 when they had the whole city evacuate so its not like they dont have a reason
1 Lysander-Spooner 2017-08-29
It's hard to find the numbers but of how many died while evacuating during Ike. It seems that the actual hurricane killed most of 74 in Texas. I wouldn't doubt that Harvey's death toll will be higher once the water recedes and more corpses are found.
They are evacuating either way. Houston's city government completely downplayed the storm. A better option would have been early evacuation especially from the lowest spots. I'm sure many people did evacuate on their own though.
1 knottedfate 2017-08-29
I knew they evacuated some areas but it wasn't enough.
I mean, I'd rather have people on top of their houses instead of in the streets when the floods hit. But they couldnt have been able to effectively save everyone.
