Ban someone who is speaking there personal opinion in a free country. Sound like 1939 nazi Germany in here. I have not hurt anyone or posted anything graphic.

This isn't a free country. This is a private forum. Don't tell me you're one of those nutjobs who think they can post/do whatever they want on a forum or social media because 'its a free country?' Hate to tell you this... but as a private forum run by a group of individuals or a corporation, they are well within their right to remove your posting privileges simply because it is their prerogative. If you have feelings about a previous hurricane take it to the OT sub-forum.

Wow I spelled corps wrong and suddenly I get attacked. Maybe it was typo did you ever think of that? Also to Mr. Reimer am I still not allowed to have a free opinion which is open to debate? If you disagree with me that is your right. Then prove me wrong. Dont just ban me or push me away.

I said best you take it to the OT sub-forum. You're more than welcome to have a debate about a hurricane from 13 years ago there.

The space between Wilmington and Jacksonville looks like it's going to get crushed for many, many hours. I can't believe weather enthusiasts are calling this storm a bust when it's actively flooding the crap out of SE costal NC. I get that there are not Andrew-esque photos of obliterated mobile home parks due to Cat 4 winds or toppled oceanfront homes due to insane surge, but there is no doubt this is going to be a horrible flooding event for a lot of people.

There are multiple counties under FFEs and half of NC is under a FF Warning calling this a bust is insane.

Spelled corps wrong? I highly doubt that it was just a misspelling. You left out two letters. It’s kinda hard to miss the “p” being that it’s on the other side of the keyboard. If you really did misspell corps wrong it would probably be something like corpse or corpes and even then autocorrect or spellcheck would get at least one of those words. I really think you thought it was “army core” which brings us back to our original point but it’s okay young one, carry on.

They are going to get a lot of well-deserved criticism over this beyond weather circles. Colin Cowherd just tweeted the video so Bettes has already crossed over into sports. 

Jburns ,years ago when SNL was good this would have been a skit on Saturday Night for sure,,,,,TWC really screwed this one up

If the levees would have never failed around New Orleans. That hurricane would have only been remembered by residents of south Mississippi.

Those "only high impacts in south Mississippi" killed 240 people. Take away all the other fatalities in N.O and elsewhere completely and Katrina's death toll would have still exceeded any other hurricane in the CONUS since Camille (and Katrina's surge killed more along the Gulf Coast than Camille's did, I believe). And Katrina profoundly affected the political and social discourse in this country in a way few other natural disasters ever have. There is NO downplaying of Katrina possible and that would be the case even if the levees had held.

If the levees would have never failed surrounding New Orleans, then Katrina would be a ordinary hurricane. The army core of engineers knew one day a cat 5 hurricane would happen. They just did a piss poor job of maintaining the levees.

You totally missed the point of my post. When you make sweeping statements about an ongoing situation you are probably going to end up looking foolish. It doesn't matter if you are a US Senator or just a creepy dude on a weather board.

Storm was bad no question about it. But it wasn’t the “storm of a lifetime” nor “ the strongest to ever hit the east coast”. As media liked to hype pre storm. It all came down to blown intensity forecasts. Big difference between cat 4 and cat 1’s no matter how you slice it. 

Have you seen what is going on with flooding?

At this point, people are going to keep comparing it to other storms to find ways to bash the media because they WANT to be mad about something and at someone. We haven't even begun to fully realize the effects of the flooding we're in for here, nevermind what this storm is going to do in the mountain regions in the coming days.
