    Nort Dakota Disaster!

    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.

    North Dakota also ranks 47th out of 50 states in population, while ranking 19th in total land area out of all 50 states. It also has only one area code for the whole state. So yes it is probably pretty safe to say that just as Canada, no one rally cares what happens in ND. :D
