How do you know ANY of this?

He doesn’t. He’s talking out of his Beau Jue like any typical Demonrat.

You people need to educate yourself on what they do. What will be the result of an already understaffed agency. 

Do you think it will cost more money in the long run when a community doesn't get a proper warning? 

 

Hurricane trackers in Florida are cut. Good luck you idiots down there. No aid for you either. *****en idiots talking about stuff you know nothing about.

Will it be cheaper to pay noaa employees or give more aid to communities to rebuild? That's not even talking about the cost of loss of life from not having an early warning. 

 

When this plays out we'll see Maga on TV crying about lots of loved ones asking why they had no warning of the incoming storm.

Empty out the NOAA offices in CA.  ship them to places where there's real weather like Buffalo, Tornado Alley and and Florida during hurricane season. 😀The weather in CA is the same all the time. Make one forecast and repeat it weekly

In about 2010 the NWS or NOAA was warning that by 2025 that snow would be rare in the Continental USA, while in actual 2025 my son in Tallahassee FL was snowed in for week this year.

Wow... snowed in for a week? Talk about some extreme exaggerations!

 

Tallahassee must be one heluva HUGE city... I also have family there and spoke with them a couple of times that week and they weren't "snowed in" for even a day let alone a week in the part of Tallahassee that they live! He said it was tough getting around but being from western NY originally he didn't have any problems at all... it was the morons that had never seen snow before that were causing the problems.

My son is a FL native, and the school was shut down all week, it is not snowed in like Buffalo but we made sure he had food because he could not drive anywhere because of the driving conditions. It is not an exaggeration just because it does not compare to Buffalo

You need to figure out which side of your mouth to talk out of then Dude! In the first chapter you said TALLAHASSEE was snowed in for a week... now in this chapter of the story it's just the school was closed for a week? There's a mighty big difference between a city being "snowed in" and a school being closed... but I'm sure you were well aware of that when you were letting us all know about the sky falling.

 

Your son is a lifetime Floridian... that's why he couldn't go anywhere. My cousin is originally from western NY and he had zero problems getting around in the entire Tallahassee area including a nine mile drive each way to work and back home again every single day !

 

It's no wonder I've seen so many people in this thread tell you that you have no clue what you're talking about!

When the local government is telling people to stay off the roads due to snow what would you call it, besides snowed in?

I call this more of your bullsh*t that's what I call it. My cousin lives on a southwestern suburb of the city (Norfleet) and he drove to work in a northeastern suburb of the city (Bradfordville) and back home EVERY SINGLE DAY! He said they were "advising no unnecessary travel" but there was never a travel ban. So here you go again with some more of your sky is falling crap... nobody... including the "local government"... EVER said people had to stay off the roads!

 

That's strike 2 Dude... ya got one left... swing for the fence!

I never used the word ban, you did, and "no unnecessary travel" is telling people to stay off the roads. Are you just trolling me right now?

I'm just glad you left the Buffalo area! Much better off without people like you around here.

Are you really that stupid or have you just spent your entire life in a snow-free environment like your son? "No unnecessary travel" is pretty much self-explanatory... it means don't go out on the roads unless it's necessary. If the big wheels want to create a "travel ban" due to the weather then that means there's no driving at all... anywhere... for any reason! A "travel ban" would mean you could get arrested for driving to work... "no unnecessary travel" means stay off of the roads unless you have a valid reason to be on them... as in going to or from work!

 

I spent 18 years of my life as a Professional Truck Driver running the entire east coast from Maine to Miami... anywhere east of the Mississippi river actually... and both of those meanings meant exactly the same thing in every state I've ever driven through.

 

Strike 3 Dude... I'm done attempting to educate you!

This conversation is clearly a troll job- I called the whole university shutting down and everyone being told not to travel unnecessarily due to the snow being "snowed in" and you go on a rant about how unless it is leading to an arrest it is not snowed in. Got it, glad I live in a state where the government trusts me to make my own decisions about storms and COVID and all sorts of other things.
