Oh and don't worry about your things, they're gone, you don't have the blizzard insurance, so you aren't going to get anything for your years of labor, and we really don't know what happened to the rest of your family and neighbors, but hey, good luck to you." People with lots of insurance got left with nothing. And we are screwed, I'm afraid to change my insurance company even though I've never made a claim
The inconvenience of the winter snows and associated power outages doesn't come close to what those people went through. I lived on the Gulf Coast and went through a pretty significant Hurricane (Elena) and just not having power, water, gas, etc for those 2 weeks was horrible. But again it all comes back to the fact that when a community in our country was in dire need of help, the people that were elected to provide that help were not there to answer the call.

We were prepared, and went 2 weeks without power. Florida got reimbursed for gas the year before but they decided on Katrina they weren't reimbursing us. I spent over $1000 to run generators and help the older folks around here that just couldn't deal with going to Baton Rouge to get supplies. We were fine though, people came to our house but it cost a small fortune to keep things going. Jeb Bush's state got gas reimbursement but we couldn't.
Uh did you not get the memo were all drinking beer now and giving up on how our country sucked in it's moment to shine?
