Maybe but I just can’t use the same word to describe our situation here in NNJ when these people are 50 times worse than us.

9 dead in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi. Count up to 45 dead in the northeast with 23 in NJ. Police sergeant drowned in his cruiser.

I would argue the storm was pretty catastrophic in both regions. Guess you feel it’s gotta be one, not the other. Keep defending that mound.

Any loss of life is trajic. No one will ever debate that. But you don’t think the warnings they had leading up to the storm saved lives. For all the crap you’re giving me today if we were warned about the storm yesterday (which didn’t have 150 mph winds or last nearly as long) wouldnt that have saved lives? When I said we’re only getting drizzle yesterday, I missed the response from anyone that we are getting a storm later that will flood north Jersey and people need to stay home.

What weather were you checking that was calling for drizzle?

We were projected for 6 inches of rain for 3 to 4 days prior to yesterday.

I never said it was calling for drizzle. I said it was supposed to rain from 3am yesterday to I believe 9 tonight. as of 11am yesterday there wasn’t much more than drizzle in Essex county as well as in Colts Neck. 6 inches of rain over 40 hours is a little different than 8 inches of rain in 8 hours.

well that doesnt really relate to the progression of your posts, but since youre an expert in qualifying/comparing tragedies we can all let it slide.

Actually that’s exactly what I said first thing yesterday morning. Ask @kniespolice he will locate my post. But he probably won’t post it because that wont help the twist. You want to turn it into something it’s not so be it. Here you go buddy. The post that started it all, that there was no comparing the 2. That’s what it’s been about the whole time.

Imagine saying NJ, PA and NYC got catastophic flooding to someone in New Orleans right now. You'd be a running joke for years. How soft.

You are holding that wall protecting the single dumbest, most thickheaded, asinine, utterly wrong stance in the history of message boards for no apparent reason.

One, if you’re comparing to Ida in New Orleans in that statement that you posted (thanks for digging it up), the $15bn levee system largely held and flooding was limited to outlying neighborhoods like LaPlace. They’re biggest issue is power outages.

Two, if you were not talking about the current situation and we were to read your mind that you’re talking about Katrina, no one said anything about a comparison of this devastation to that, or even a storm like Sandy. Rational human beings understand the level of devastation that brings about ~1800 deaths.

Three, if another day later you still don’t have it in you to admit your take was just wrong and that there is nothing soft about talking about the catastrophic impact of Ida on the northeast, after seeing reports of 7 tornadoes in NJ and PA (not the Midwest level impact but this is the Northeast for Christ’s sake), seeing the pictures of flooding across 3 states, then your hold on Dipshit of the Year has been firmly grasped from any other poster who might be trying to stake a claim.

Thanks for your opinion. But I’d say the biggest issue is food down there and other bare necessities that people don’t have access to. People going days without eating. Lines for food longer than during the pandemic.

Name one f$&king poster who said it wasn’t bad in NO?

You are such and idiot. It can’t be catastrophic in NO and in the Northeast? I’m sure we’ll get the media stories across the northeast in the weeks to come. There will be nothing SOFT about people dealing with catastrophe in either region. The only thing soft is the mush between your ears.

Let it all out….

Those sissies in New Orleans are so soft. Katrina....now that was a catastrophe.

I know it's only anecdotal, but a golfing buddy of mine was friends with a guy who built his own boat for a flood. Took his whole family and all these animals too. He said it rained for 40 days. Not 40 hours people - 40 days! After that much time on the boat the sheep started to look good. Now that was a catastrophe.
