North Dakota News

This text is from a county emergency manager out in

the western part of North Dakota after the recent

snowstorm.

            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 trees in

half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds

of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads,

isolated scores 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 Mayors 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

            "In my many travels, I have noticed

           that once one
            gets north of about 48 degrees North

           Latitude, 90%
            most of the world's social problems

           evaporate."

            It does seem that way, at least to me.

           I hope this gets
            passed on.

            Maybe, SOME people will get the    

           message: The world does
            not owe you a living....

Your so right. I hate snow tho.

tag

You mean I don't get free shit if a tornado happens?

Pure crap.

I pay taxes to the .gov to support me, they'll come through. you wait and see.....




I hope the sarcasm is evident..

Amazing, the people that can take care of themselves are the people who vote mainly...
Conservative. Shows where the work ethic lies in this country

I was stationed at Minot AFB, ND and in 1996 we got so much snow it was covering the upstairs windows. you couldn't get to the chow hall to eat, and even if you could there wouldn't be anyone there because of the snow. The only place i have ever been that if you break down in the winter there is a good chance you will die. That winter the temp got down to -106 below with wind chill. I fucking hated that place!!!!!!

Not really. The dumb bastards from my home state send democRATs to the senate year after year.

They apparently like sucking rancid fat from the government tit in the form of farm subsidies.

I'm pretty sure this is what happened in 1996-1997 it was the worst winter on record.

...by moving to Texas!

<------- Now living at 48d 23m North  (from 32d 46m North) for just the reasons stated.

One of my worst nightmares is having the SHTF (natural or otherwise) and being surrounded by millions of socialist indoctrinated 'tards waiting for gooberment to save their worthless asses (and ruining my life in the process).

Anyone that didn't get the message about self-sufficiency after NOLA deserves whatever happens to them.

Yeah, my dad had some pretty crazy stories from that year. He was a lineman for a rural electric co-op and put in a metric assload of overtime getting people's power back on after that mess.

They send out phony emails?

North Dakota is a full of leeches as any other rural area.

Thank you for the "Free money" FEMA.
