yo i know this thread was all jokes but i was alerted last night that some of my family members were really in a bind. i didn't know it was that serious. im glad they're safe tho

i got a homegirl who had to walk 2 hours home and got frostbite. shyt is crazy​

At least 30 people died bruh. Dont matter if they young or old, down here aint nobody dying from that. And young people did die. I was up there that summer, working on a project with my uncle out in Hammond and this Latino cat died not to far from where we was at. He passed on the court playing basketball and never woke up.

fam that year heat stroke was on the news everywhere.

This article points to at least 3 deaths in the south via heat stroke in that time period

True, but he couldnt work with the schools to close school for the day? And he's absolutely taking zero accountability.

They Mayor of any city can on close city buildings. Mayor cannot close a school district, he can recommend them to close. The Mayor is supposed to declare a disaster to the state Gov. Im really susprised that CNN is grilling him over this.

But were too many commuters on the roadway.

 

[Nick Barnes]

Yeah they probably should've. They usually cancel school just at the threat of snow. Then everyone up north laughs. This time they didn't. Now it's really fukked up.

That's crazy, I live in Minnesota where it's cold and snows for half the year and already they have cancelled a weeks worth of school due to poor weather/cold temps.

Everyone trying to get home at the same exact time was the big mistake. But the Mayor came off bad in that interview by deflecting blame 100%.

They're literally trying to lay 100% at his feet. He said that the simultaneous closings were a mistake. They know that salt trucks have been used on the city streets. They know he has no jurisdiction over the highways. The only footage they are showing is of the interstate. Everyone they interviewed refused to take the "who to blame" bait, so CNN personally has to ratchet the outrage. Yet, they haven't said the word Governor one time yet. And the condescending tone that these reporters are using on top of that is crazy disrespectful.

LOL...every year some HS dudes fall out in the practice and die from heat stroke. That has more to do with the culture of HS football down here and "win at all costs" attitude that some programs down here have. Texas aint the only state that can pack 10K plus into a HS stadium for a football game.

And you cant compare some 17 year old in full pads who has been practicing from 5 am until 3 pm with a pre-exisiting heart condition on top of it to random folks just falling over and dying just because the temp hit 95.

HS football here is brutal, and thats why we put out stars in college and the NFL left and right, while Chicago puts out scrubs like Donvan McNabb

TRY AGAIN!!!

Oh so you cant count young people playing a sport...but sickly elderly people count

 

[bignell]

This cac reporter talking to the mayor like a child, I don't really like that...I'm not familiar with him but that was a tad disrespectful

Welcome to white privalage.Every interviewer that has talked to him today has been disrespectful.These CACS really want to blame this man for the schools decision not to close for the states not clearing the interstates and for these business deciding not to close...Everyone knows that if interstates 20/75/85/285 are fukked up the entire infrastructure of Atlanta will fail..

 

[DaChampIsHere]

nikkas ain't shyt.

 

[aqualung]

The meteorologists said "STORM LEON." (Last night, CNN showed a headline so scary that I checked whether Leon would roll thru NYC.)
The mayor said "light dusting" at a 2a.m. presser.
So the roads were not salted; the snow was allowed to freeze into sheets of ice for 10+ hours.

Y'all elected folk wut rode that short bus.

Regret it.
Learn from it. (-_~. )

You obviously never played HS football. Its cool. I understand, yall up north cats are just fans of football, yall cant play it.

My HS team sucked, we was literally the worst in our division, and we still had to practice from a week after the 4th of July until the season started.
Thats the way it goes down here.
