I'm just going by what you post and when you post it.
Youre delusional if you think I actually give a fuck about your life history as long as I dont copy it. I learn from the mistakes of others that way.

Master's been without power at his house since last Saturday night and they told him he'll be without until probably this Saturday. Sigh. Overhype? I don't think so. There are towns in NY state and VT that were wiped out and flooding that is still happening in NJ and dams that overflowed or broken. I don't think billions of dollars of damage and lives lost is overhype.





I did. the video doesnt have a thing to do with the 45 deaths and billions of dollars of damage associated with the storm.

Have you ever been through a hurricane, Sanity? If yes, which one?

Not at all. I take what you say at face value and if you don't like it when I show you to be an idiot then you can always either be more civil, post about things that you actually know fuck all about or stop posting.
Until then, you will keep looking like an idiot Flat Earther.

He's too busy hiding from those Norhtern Pack Timberwolves to worry about a hurricane.

Watching people walk around during a hurricane isnt unusual at all. To say that because people are out and about during such a storm is a reason to call it "hype" just shows how little some people know.

Vermont got hit hard, to the point where some people are completely stranded without food or water, and the national guard is still scrambling to get them all supplies via airlifts because so many of the bridges and and roads were wiped out.
Whole towns went from being connected to the world to being their own little islands.
That is not hype.

Considering this, the death toll could well be much higher- we just can't communicate with everyone to find out.

Yeah, Im not quite sure where the dividing line between "hype" and "appropriate level" of reporting is...how many billions of damage? how many deaths?

Still it was only a bit of rain, not like it was WMD`s that could hit the west in 30 minutes is it.

7 Billion to date... again... another number that will climb.

So what, if it causes people to over prepare in the case of a real emergency, it at least does some good. Plus you know you were praying that the storm be devastating and the east coast be unprepared so you could once again, make another tiresome tirade against Obama. I am sure it would have started something like "hey liberal fucktards, look what your man/ boy Obummer has fucked up now . . ." And on and on. Why don't you quit being a fucking sociopath and be happy it wasn't worse, like a normal goddamn human being.
