Oh this makes me SO MAD!

I can’t say this on Facebook since unfortunately many of my friends on there are doing this but, PEOPLE STOP COMPLAINING THAT THIS WASN’T A WORSE STORM!!!

Did you WANT New York City to be completely under water? Did you want people to be evacuated with helicopters? Did you want more fatalities? More costly damage? More lives put in danger?

We should be grateful that Hurricane Irene wasn’t as bad as it could have been, not angry at the Mayor or the media for repeatedly warning us about it. What if they hadn’t said anything? Hadn’t ordered evacuations or set up evac sites and Irene hit us as hard as it could have? You’d all be bitching about the government not doing anything. The time for that was six years ago with Katrina, not here. Our local, state and federal government stepped up to the plate on this one.

And you know what? I’m glad for you if you had no water problems or downed trees. Others did. This was not some minor storm. It wreaked havoc all night. You were just asleep when it happened. I wasn’t. I was fighting a losing battle against a river coming in my windows. Trust me, it was plenty bad and I’m grateful that it wasn’t worse.

You all should be grateful too. Would you like to experience a hurricane like they get in the south? Have all your possessions destroyed?

End rant.
