Well, I am glad it was mpt as bad as they first thought it would be.
But I got to say something here about this.
We in the UK get a lot, an awful lot of all the stuff that happens in the USA ( I would rather see more UK news instead but never mind about that, i got a point to make here)
Before the hurricane struck the coast the news and american news teams were going on about how bad it was going to be for the area etc, and maybe quite rightly so, BUT before they went on and on about people getting evacuated I tihnk the headline news should not have been focussing on America and what if it goes this way, what if it doesnt calm down etc. The news kept saying how it had passed through the carribean and heading for the south coast.
Well why did they not report about the destruction and death it caused in the carribean? I heard late last night a little bit about it but went back onto how bad it could have been.
I do not understand why we in the UK are so focused on america. I would rather have heard the news about this hurricane as it went. We should have heard about the carribean getting ripped up before we heard anything about how america are going to cope.
then when it actually hit america then we should have heard how it was. We had days of the big run up all about new orleans.
I just think the news is very wrong sometimes.
But like I said, I am glad it was not as bad as they thought and I only really feel sorry for the folk in the carribean at this time. Some died in New orleans I think, but they had the chance to leave. And I also heard that 4 people that died, died when a tree fell on top of their car??????? WHAT? driving in a hurricane??????? MAD!!!!!!!
This is a crazy mixed up world that should sit down and think about what should be reported. All events in america or the more important life taking events that happened yet failed to be reported until 24 hours later.
Ok, I got to stop here, my wife says it sounds like I am typing a book.
