JMO. I'm sure that I could have expresed it in a better way.

I sincerely hope that everyone receives the attention, aide, and funds that are needed at this time.
No harm done. I certainly didn't mean it that way. I was referring to what was happening in our state in that people are saying NOT ENOUGH WAS DONE UP HERE to warn people. Not to worry.

I guess it just depends where everyone was during this very very slow moving storm. We rarely, if ever, get hurricanes and certainly not tornados........but this past springtime, not to mention the past several years, global warming has definitely changed our weather.

Probably even if the people were watching the t.v. news (those that had electricity), they would not have heeded it......meaning Vermonters. From now on they will.

Does anyone care to guestimate where "Katia" might hit next?
