In Chicago, a few businesses found a bright side to the storm Thursday night.
"People would not leave," said bartender Nick McCann. "We had $2 margaritas, and people were getting hammered."
And that's how we do it, bitches!
Interesting how the Midwest chose to respond to the storms. No rape, murder, or shooting at rescue workers. What's wrong with us?
Wadda mean? Other people can read this?!

Water from the worst flood in nearly a century in this northwest Ohio city began receding Thursday, as it did elsewhere in the Midwest, allowing some of the more than 1,000 homeowners who had been displaced to get a look at the soaked photo albums, boxes of clothes and furniture in their basements.
1000 homeowners, versus an entire city.
It's not me, it's someone else.
Well crap, I hadn't thought of that. That changes everything. It was all because it was a bigger city.
I'm just glad I live in a small town so if some type of hardship hits I don't have to turn into an animal. At least I have that going for me. Sorry about you peeps in Raiegh/Durham. Enjoy your riots the next time it.... snows, or something.

Yes, it was radically different. I never suggested otherwise. But while you claim the main difference was scale, I'm suggesting the main difference was leadership, at every possible level. Mayor to civilians to individuals' self discipline and maturity.
Scale doesn't really mean shit, especially considering the leadership in NOLA had three days before the storm they knew was a big hurricane hit to make preparations. We all know no mandatory evacuation on NOLA was ordered and we've all seen the busses leaking oil in the parking lot. We've all heard them blaming the federal government for their own lack of preparedness. We see people, two years later, still crying for more handouts.
The midwest just thought another rain storm was coming through, and yet they handled it. No murder, rioting, or looting.
Who in the hell said there was no difference? The entire basis of my post was in pointing out the differences. I just don't think scale is a main one. Why are you even arguing about this? What's your angle?

Bullshit. Scale always matters. Try building a house versus building a neighborhood. Managing 1 server or 500. Having 10 users or 1000. Finding shelter for 1000 people is easy, the system that can do that already exists. Getting 1000 out of a town is a fuckload easier than getting out 500,000 (or however many people lived there plus the surrounding areas) much less finding them a place to be.GORDON wrote:Yes, it was radically different.

There's gonna be complete devastation in Des Moines.
I bet their local sports stadium will be the scene of vast crime and gang rape.

I hear the mayor of Des Moines is worried about putting his "Vanilla City" back together again.
