Living in Florida for the first 20 years of my life and Cali the past few years, I wouldn't want a hurricane, forest fire, earthquake or whatever. Natural disaster suck, at least with hurricanes there's a warning, granted the Northeast isn't as readily prepared because, hell that shit doesn't happen that often. Earthquakes and forest fires are another story entirely. The damage could have been a lot worse if the wind speed was higher, people should just be thankful it wasn't worse than it could have been and move on. Plain and simple. There's no point in arguing which is worse and why.

People taking a conversation about a disaster as an opportunity to brag about how great the weather has been.

Yep, definitely the internet.

Polak, we already get that you're retarded. You don't have to keep expressing it to us through your ideas.

And, yes, I did enjoy the nice Cali weather and paid days off work. Deal with it.

Edit: I've been in one tornado in my lifetime. It turned houses less than a 1/4 mile away into dollhouses, I was scared shitless.

You know, not going to work for a week or so, taking your whole family and all your important belongings and driving far away, that's the smart thing to do. That's what NJ and NY residents should of done. They shouldn't of stayed at home knowing how crazy nature is.

If everyone would get up and leave at the same time with this sense of thought then you would of had a gridlock of traffic, then all these people trying to leave would be caught just in their cars. The safest thing you are supposed to do during a hurricane is to stay at home when you are not in an evac zone. Here read this; http://www.ready.gov/hurricanes

The main thing that pisses me of is when you have Sean saying
I'm sure life has sucked for those affected by the storm, but I've enjoyed the past 2 days off work due to Wall Street being closed. The weather here in Cali has been nice~
Like really? Do I really have to ramble on how inhumane that is?

I would never want a 10-30 second earthquake, but comparing a freak of nature hurricane to a crazy earthquake are two different things. Apples and oranges. I wouldn't argue which is worse or better or preferred because it makes all of you retarded.
I'm trying to decide whether this is worse or just as bad as your running advice

I don't know, maybe I just have a different perspective because I've seen waves from a storm several thousands of miles away crashing on top of piers and shit like that. of course it's easy to look back and say i definitely would have left, but i don't know, it just seems dumb to risk your life even if you end up leaving the area for a few days once a year when a hurricane comes through. it's not like new jersey is such a great place that you would never want to leave it and take a trip to chicago or st louis or something.

Re: Hurricane Sandy

Living on the NJ coast, I honestly didn't think it would be this bad. We were hit by hurricane Irene last year and it was suppose to be a monster storm like Sandy but it really didn't do much. So many people were all in the same mindset "oh it won't be anything just like Irene.." Yes, a lot of people were forced to evacuate but never did. That is their own fault for sure. But there were many places that were not told to evacuate that were absolutely decimated. My aunt lost a house, my uncle lost a house, my moms lagoon house and my uncles lagoon house were both flooded. Something to keep in mind is that New Jersey doesn't regularly get hit with hurricanes. The storm was actually WORSE than predicted. Yes, many people did die from their own mistakes and I guess it's easy to sit there and make asinine remarks when you're 3,000 miles west enjoying 70-80 degree weather. One thing for sure next Hurricane, hopefully in another 20 years.... People will understand and respect what previously happened and take the proper precaution.

Everyone else was told to stay home, don't go outside. Now to the people that were told to stay home and to not go outside and still ended up dying how is that their fault? Yes, everyone in all of the states effected by Sandy should of took a trip to other states untill Sandy passed by, makes sense.
What do you know? A heavy majority of the deaths were due to drowning, which would be in the areas told to evacuate or had a high probability of flooding, trees falling on people outside in areas where people were told to stay inside, and carbon monoxide poisoning with idiots who'd run a generator in their entirely closed up home.

I mean... if your entire house collapses into your basement, you probably should have left the fucking area. Your reading comprehension skills are pretty strong though, at least you can make it through one sentence per post.

Perhaps you missed many of my original sarcastic jabs about the hurricane. Ask mogers about them just in case; he seemed to have his blood boil over them. And I hope you realize I am from California. Here we have to deal with earthquakes, constant fires, and Mexicans crossing the border and driving our state economy down. The last of the three is probably the only one I don't care to deal with.

Believe me, my heart is in shambles over the hurricane. My dream was to move to Jersey and star on the Jersey Shore with Snooki. What am I suppose to do now? :[

Looks like a lot of ignorant people who refused to leave their homes and drowned or went outside during extremely heavy winds :roll:

I never said there was people who didn't do dumb stuff, I'm sure there was, there is always people who don't listen. But, there were plenty of people that did everything right and still died. Fatboy Ko is just being an ignorant fuck and scorch pretty much agreeing with him is proving he is an ignorant fuck as well. I guess that's to be expected by retards from California who get an earthquake every once in awhile and never experienced something as serious as a hurricane.
I mean, you have no argument other than "hurricanes are really fucking serious but if i stay indoors i should be safe." It's not like we're talking about unavoidable damage to property here (I feel bad for the people who lost their homes), we're talking about people (probably like yourself based on your responses) that chose to stay in the path of a fucking hurricane. Your whole argument is ass backwards because ko and I are both saying that HURRICANES ARE SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS. If you don't treat nature with the respect it deserves, you can get seriously dead. Just because millions of people ignored this common fucking sense doesn't mean the people who died weren't just as dumb as you.

Earthquakes are a risk that everyone who lives in California knowingly accepts. We know that they're unavoidable (if you want to live here) and unpredictable and that they can cause cases of extreme death. Hurricanes are not earthquakes.

Thirty. Nine. People. Do you know where trees won't fall on you? In basements. In places without hurricane-force winds.

Are people always responsible for their own death in this crazy world? No, but when you know a hurricane is coming for a week in advance and you stay in a place where it's dangerous to be, and then someone dies... yeah you're dumb. It's like saying, hey we're going to release great white sharks in your pool and you're like "well i really like having just my feet in the pool, sharks probably won't come all the way to the edge".
