It's good!
For those of you who are not aware, North Dakota and
southeastern Montana got hit with their first blizzard
of the season a couple of weeks ago)
This text is from county emergency manager out in the
western part of North Dakota state after the storm.
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 24" inches of snow and winds to 50 MPH that
broke trees in half, stranded hundreds of motorists in
lethal snow banks, closed all roads, isolated scores
of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.
George Bush did not come....
FEMA staged nothing....
No one howled for the government...
No one even uttered an expletive on TV...
Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.....
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House....
No news anchors moved in.
We just melted snow for water, sent out caravans to
pluck people out of snow engulfed cars, fired up wood
stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Aladdin lamps
and put on an extra layer of clothes.
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.
Everybody is fine.
