haha yea, i never heard horizontal rain until i moved out to ks
how the fuck la took the brunt of the storm and only had 3 deaths while ny had a bit of extra rain and had 8deaths?
Lots of NYers cant swim. Lots of NYers do stupid shit like drive in 8 feet of water (and cant swim). NY basements are basically concrete death traps in a flood. And this bears repeating.. NYers do lots of stupid shit.
Down south we call them thunderstorms and it happens about 30 times a year. Rain so hard it hits the ground and splashes up on windows 5 feet off the ground and visibility so low you can't see 75 feet ahead.
Same reason on the flip side they can have 80 inches of snow and not cancel school but if LA had a dusting it would shut down forever.
Yankees have no idea what weather is like down South. I sleep like a baby in heavy T-storms. Lots of nice rhythmic beating on the roof and windows.
Nope. They shut down schools constantly on snow days because there are never enough plows to clear the roads in time for school buses to run on snow days.
february was a bad month, but typically we get about 8-12 inches per storm and it gets handled well. they close school because little pussy kids dont show up and whats the point? when i was a kid, i remember worse snow and school closed maybe twice a year? i looked forward to going because that meant snowball fights and tossing snowballs at buses and scaring the fuck out of people on their way home.
We generally get dick for snow out on the Island. It sort of disappointed me when I moved here because I expected "snow" in winter. Parents up here wont let little Timmy walk to school less than a mile in the snow 4 or 5 times a year it snows. Its fucking sad
i hate little Timmy, i bet his mom drove him to school every day and made him a hot lunch from home. we had a few Timmys back in the day too. one little bitch named David, lived around the corner from me and he couldnt come out unless his mom gave him permission. we would go to his house and yell for him, his mom, a big fat bitch would charge out and scream at us for yelling her son's name and that he wasnt allowed to play with us and that we were terrible people and get out of there before she called the cops. all we wanted was to ask if he wanted to play kickball in the playground. well fuck that kid. 40 years later and the Timmys are in charge of the world.
