Hurricane Michael was a cat 4 with winds just 2 mph short of being cat 5 (157 mph is cat 5). It snapped a whole forest of trees in half. This was the most powerful storm to hit our gulf coast in over 100 years. I wouldn't classify it as a pretty average storm. Not even brick and cinder block buildings survived. <SNIP> |
So it was. My mistake.
The reporting here on that event has been fairly inaccurate, using outdated information.
With that in mind... Queensland gets hit by several Cyclones (Aka. Hurricanes) a year, we manage to avoid a ton of death and destruction and hysteria, even with Category 5 storms.

I expect him to go on with what he is doing like we don't need to stop what we do because people suffer,ts a lazy critique to blame a politician for practicing his job. |
Well. The most he can do is allocate extra resources... However, speaking as someone who is in the emergency services... The more that politicians stand out of the way of us doing our job, the better.

If anyone is lazy, it’s the guy responsible for appointing competent people for those positions...and that person is the Dotard. It’s been over a year and a half and he still hasn’t named a Second-In-Command for FEMA, nor is he working with his Party to improve their readiness for disaster response (and it’s been a gong show for a solid 12 months). Nor is he communicating what is being done or how the average citizen can help. It’s a lazy politician who works so hard at not doing his job. |
The California fires were a big eye opener for us guys down here.
You guys really need a top-to-bottom audit at everything from your building codes, right up to who is in charge for stamping the funds to procure equipment, it was a mess.
Allot of the death and destruction can be mitigated with some common sense and appropriate information.
