Hurricane Hungry?

[ConvergenceZone]

but some of these people whose homes get destroyed, act as if they couldn't believe that a hurrcane actually came through and destoyed their home. I guess they thought they were immune to them.

Oh really? Where did you get that information? See, us fools living down here on the coast know that hurricanes CAN and DO hit. See, we live with it every season. Try again.

And another thing, when it comes to loss of life, I don't have ANY sympathy to those who CAN get out but instead elect to ride the storm out. ZERO SYMPATHY...Obviously the ones I do feel for are the ones who want to get out but somehow can't.

Who asked you for your sympathy? I haven't seen one person on this board ask ANYONE for sympathy. And there are quite a few who lost everything they owned in Katrina and Rita. Oh, and many of those same people DID get out.

I'll take that to mean you have nothing further to say.

Well lets hope he thinks a little before he says anything else.

Convergence please show me where ANYONE here has asked for sympathy. Ive seen a few ppl vent but thats about it.

[ConvergenceZone]

it basically means that people are mis-reading what Im saying and if they must insist in doing so, I have nothing else to say....


Don't ya just love it when people make you out to be a monster when All you are doing is using extreme cases with people who build on the IMMEDIATE coastline, yet pretty soon, they act is if you are talking about everyone who is in the potential path of a hurricane....I guess they want to take it out on someone.

>>May we have a above avg season. Really who cares! Louisiana will be under water in a 100 or so years any ways.

Yeah and no one on this forum will be around by then. In the meantime, many of us in Louisiana lost everything we had. What would you think if I was cheering for volcanos and tsunamis to hit Washington State? You'd call me ignorant because that's exactly what I'd be.

>>Its all going to flood any way. In hurricanes will always hit its rebuilding at your own risk. I love powerful storms more then anything on earth...But rebuilding in a area that is going down is fool hearty. IF I'm wrong then history is wrong.

Maybe if you found a clue you'd realize why. The abbreviated version tells me that you like your electricity, gas and oil. We produce it. You probably like sugar. We produce that too. Seafood? You bet. 75% of it comes from our ports. We also have the only freshwater estuaries and the majority of the nation's marshland even though we lose a few football fields of it a day. You like products? Check out how much action comes through the Mississippi River. And it's also the transport out for most of the farm belt's crops. You really should be suspended for those kinds of idiotic posts. You were banned numerous times from other forums (and probably this one in the past as well) for popping off like a 2 year old on steroids. I've stood up for you, but you can really kiss my *** with your damn insensitivity and ignorance.

>>Hey its your choice to be right in there track not mine. Theres nothing else that needs to be said. I thought humans where smart.

You're living proof that all aren't. To be continued...

hey cool it! Matt has already apologized.

Extreme cases?

Personally, I would never build my house on a coastline in the Gulf or east coast, because I realize the risk.

Gulf Coast and East Coast are PRETTY DARN BIG.

[Steve]

Yeah, I know what you're saying but it took a few posts for you to get it right. I understand what you are saying. Many elderly chose not to hassle with leaving. Many of them perished. So if you have no sympathy for say some 80somethings who just stayed home as they always did, well whatever. So maybe you can add that caveat to it as well. Obviously those who remain in harms way (assuming they have another way out) take the responsibility for themselves. But how many just can't get out? Hey, you saw about 100,000 people left in New Orleans for Katrina. Maybe half (?) could have found a way out. The rest probably didn't have transportation, got stuck in nursing homes where they died or maybe were visiting relatives in a hospital.

I don't know dude. I hear what you're saying, but I guess sometimes things are just better left unsaid. Then you don't have to explain yourself.

I didn't continue after I said what I said. So I did. But I'll take my instructions from a mod, not from someone who can't control himself.

exactly. oh, and to answer you above regarding sympathy. That's great you don't need sympathy, but there's some people who don't feel that way......I seen some of the people interviewed on the weather channel, I know!

please site your sources I dont recall anyone calling you a monster, and I dont recall any extreme cases with people building on the coastline? Please inform me if I am wrong...

You know what? Dude, I LIVE HERE. I know SO MANY people who lost everything they owned and have not asked anyone for anything. They got back up, wiped themselves off and got to work. Maybe you should try looking at some of those people before you go shooting from the hip.

See, too many of my words in my posts are getting skipped, I said those who COULD get out....I feel horrible about those who absolutely couldn't get out, but staying is just another form of suicide. If it was my grandma on the coastline, I would literally drag her from her home if I had to, no matter how much should would be mad at me afterwards, because I love her to much to see her risk getting herself killed.

Again, I'm saying the people that CAN get out. For the elderly that have no family that cares enough, obvoiusly they couldn't help it...

[Steve]

I got it.

I just gave you another example that you didn't consider.

Steve

[Lindaloo]

So Convergence, in your own words and your own post you are telling us that those people who died DESERVED what they got because they "elected" to stay? I sure as heck hope that is NOT what you are saying!

No, but I am saying that the people who DON'T leave when they are TOLD to leave, have no sympathy from me.....Heck, even Jim Cantore on the Weather Channel used the term "idiots" when talking about this when he was doing footage last week.....I'm speaking of those who have a great risk of their lives by doing so.


As far as those who live on the coast line. I didn't say they DESERVE to die. I'm just saying that if their house gets damaged the 2nd time after they rebuild after the first cane, what else would they expect??

Sometimes you just have to respect mother nature and get out...She is the boss....

Yes, maybe it is best that you do give up.

IMO, Jim Cantore must have been the idiot. He put his life on the line for his job and stayed, almost drowned. Must be the mon'aye! (money).

I have friends that have lost their belongings in hurricanes over the last 10 to 20 years, so please don't give me that!!!!, but many of them feel the same exact same way I do when it comes to the IMMEDIATE coast and those who refuse to leave, no matter what authorities are telling them. I'm sorry for your loss, but please don't act as if I've never lost anyone before.

true, but he doesn't live there, and yes, I agree that it is idiotic for the weather channel crews or anyone on cnn/fox to risk their lives just to report the conditions of the hurricane. I remember my wife yelling at the tv for them to get the hell out of there and I agreed. It's just not worth dying for, and I think the general consensus would agree on that one. Jim was extremely lucky.

Then I would think you would be a little more understanding with your remarks, given you've lost your belongings before. I mean, the way you sound how was I suppose to know you have been the vicitm of a hurricane?
