I really think the latest flood events being such a big deal is directly attributable to the insatiable appetite of the MSM to go WAY over the top and sensatioinalize and amplify ev-er-y...sin-gle...cot-ton...pi-ck-in...thing into the "unprecedented" tragedy of the Century...ev-er-y...ti-me!!!
I can remember numerous flooding events which were easily 150x times worse, with more loss of life, WAY more property damage and destruction, which lasted WAY longer than the Texas flood, or this other flood in NC (or was it SC?)! And, I am not exaggerating either. It wasn't that long ago that the Mississippi River flooded it's banks and even the Corps of Engineers was throwing their hands up saying there was no end in sight, and no solution. Same goes for the Missouri River floods back a decade ago or so. F5 Tornado events which wiped out entire cities. Earthquakes which injured and killed tens of thousands. Volcanoes which wiped out entire cities, and halted aviation across 60% of the nation. Today, one person can die in a shootout and five others are wounded and it's the "apocalypse", a "National Tragedy", and we hear words like "stockpile", , "cache" "machine gunS (plural)", "compound", "fortress", "walls of bullets/gunfire", "ruthless terror gangs taking over" entire major cities. It's just endless, and it's EVERY time now days.
Somebody pharts in an elevator in Schenectady and it's an "Active Bio-weapon Terrorist 'attack' with 'Innocent' Hostages - Breaking Story!!"
Just read the headlines anymore. It's crazy! Doom Porn on CRACK!
