[QUOTE="BigFatRat, post: 452355, member: 19949"] I had to "google" that one ;-) You can keep my package for a while, it's in good company. At least it will have a good time among 50,000 of his kind. I'm tempted to magnify this little suburban weather incident to national scale. Philosophically speaking, no UPS involved. Remember after Catrina, fingers were pointed left and right. But while the magnitude of the damage could not have been easily predicted, thinking in retrospect, the subsequent catastrophe situation could have been much better managed. Police had fled, trucks with aid were stuck, fema pretended not to have known how bad New Orleans really was, not enough buses were sent to evacuate, and so on. Certainly a lot of people in positions of power blamed their incompetence on the [I]"act of God"[/I]. Is anybody learning anything from past events? We are the nation with the most resources at our disposal, yet out vital systems stumble and crash every time the weather gets a bit frisky. Since I'm in a doomsday mood, it makes me think that "[I]The Day After Tomorrow[/I]", that catastrophe flick with Dennis Quaid, is actually an example of the good weather-crisis management...
