North Dakota News

This text is from a county emergency manager out in the
western part of North Dakota state after the recent snow storm.

WEATHER BULLETIN

Up here in the Northern Plains we just recovered from a
Historic event — may I even say a “Weather Event” of “Biblical
Proportions” — with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow
and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of
motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and
cut power to 10’s of thousands.

FYI:

·George Bush did not come…

·FEMA did nothing…

·No one howled for the government…

·No one blamed the government

·No one even uttered an expletive on TV…

·Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit

·Our Mayor’s did not blame Bush or anyone else

·Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else either

·CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC did not visit - or report on this category 5 snow storm

·Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards…

·No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House…

·No one looted…

·Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something

·Nobody expected the government to do anything either

·No Larry King, No Bill O’Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera

·No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found

And

·Nope, we just melted the snow for water

·Sent out caravans of SUV’s to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars

·The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn’t ask for a penny

·Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments delivered it to the snow bound families

·Families took in the stranded people - total strangers

·We Fired up wood stoves

·Broke out coal oil lanterns or coleman lanterns

·We put on an extra layers of clothes because up here it is “Work or Die”

·We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a
welfare program that trades votes for ‘sittin at home’ checks.

·Even though a Category “5” blizzard of this scale has never fallen this early…we know it can happen and how to deal with it
ourselves.

“In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% most of the world’s social problems evaporate.”

I like the last line.

3

That was nice of the government they pay taxes for to do nothing for them.

I think there is a line missing that the original writer of that wanted to add but didn’t.

4

that is the most retarded thing i’ve ever read

snow is not a flood

snow does not destroy everything

comparing power outtages and some snow to a flood that leveled entire neighborhoods is like comparing my huge cock to newmans skinny minnie

not even close

5

:tup: so true

6

hahahaha “skinny minnie”

7

Some Valid points, but the basis of having to rebuild an entire city after the storm is what you cant dismiss.

8

:tup: thats a good read

its nice to read about people actually helping each other out instead of looting and raping. espicially since conditions inside of a severe blizzard are harsher and more life threatening then conditions were after katrina

(and yes i will probably get flamed for saying that since it isnt PC)

9

yeeepppp cause coruption within all levels of the government taking money away from the anti-blizzard levees cause this one.

10

:lol: :tup:

while it is comparing apples to oranges… doesnt mean, especially the last line, isnt true

11

yeah, i think it went like this.

“NIGGERS ARE THE CAUSE OF ALL THE USA’S PROBLEMS.”

or something like that.

and, come on… a blizzard being compared to a flood? A flood ruins EVERYTHING.

12

And a Blizzard is a delicious treat you can get at Dairy Queen. Who wouldnt want one!

13

How do you figure? the whole region is still a disease party?

I’ll Take a 44" blizzard over a hurrican/flood any day.

14

If this were true then how come I dont have the option for blizzard insurance?

North Dakota — Population: 642,200

New Orleans — Population: 1.2 Million

North Dakota covers 70,704 square miles
New Orleans covers 4,190 square miles

North Dakota has ~9 people per sq mile
New Orleans has ~286 people per sq mile

Not to mention that you can’t shovel/plow water out of the fucking way…

OH and by the way you morons

The e-mail makes the claim of the snowbound Dakotans “No one howled for the government.” Yet in a 31 October 2005 letter to President Bush, Governor John Hoeven of North Dakota did indeed “request that you declare a major disaster for the State of North Dakota as a result of a severe winter storm/snowfall, accompanied by record-breaking snowfall, rain and high winds, that occurred on October 4-6, 2005.” Said request for official disaster status was spurred by an interest in obtaining FEMA assistance (e.g. “Additionally, eleven counties meet the criteria established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA] ‘for near record snowfall’ and should be eligible for assistance with FEMA’s snow policy [9523.1]”).

North Dakota is seeking to recoup its storm-related expenditures from the government.

Are you just not smart enough or too busy fucking your uncle to try to put together a response? Perhaps you know you & your propaganda have just been put in place and are just too emabarassed to admit it.
