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'Reilly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No
Geraldo Rivera
· No Sean 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% of the world's social problems
evaporate."

Well, not sure what your point is but if you (or they) are suggesting
this blizzard is apples to apples with Katrina, you need to make a
trip and see for yourself.

Nimrod, it was a newspaper article that was posted somewhere else on
the internet and if you need me to indicate what the writer's point was
you have more problems than I can help with.
