brb, building a raft. :cry:
But anyways, this is happening like close to me in upstate new york.
And i'm tired of hearing all the ignorant people everywhere saying things just to diss new york and tell us we're over reacting, when people are losing everything in this flooding, towns are completely under water, a dam nearby this area could possibly break and cause some extreme flooding, houses are being carried away by the water (literally!) and people are losing their buisnesses. I mean, read some of those comments on the yahoo article i posted and you'll see what i mean.:shoe::shoe::shoe:

Sorry, but...

Sorry, the page you requested either doesn't exist or isn't available.

I know, it's horrible. The same thing is happening where my grandparents live, in Brattleboro, VT. Thankfully they live on a hill, but it's just really awful.

On a note about people being morons, a friend of mine reblogged this picture from a blog called 'tastefullyoffensive'...

That is not tasteful. I was so angry when I saw this, holy ****.
People really just need to shut up & think about how cruel they sound, laughing and joking about a deadly hurricane.

Yes, these kinds of people are shameful. They did the same thing during the Japanese tsunami and the Haitan earthquakes...

I think the pics like that about that Earthquake on the East Coast are particularly funny, though.. hehe..

That I can at least agree with.

Irene? nope.

Yeah, i could laugh at when people posted those kind of pics after the earthquake, with like, a set of lawn chairs, with one knocked over saying "Virginia Earthquake 2011, We WILL rebuild!" Because the earthquake wasn't anything really bad. But people are suffering from this, and barely anyone can be bothered to just stop and post some kind words, instead of making all the sarcastic comments.

Yeah.

And I bet this person doesn't live in the Northeast. And my friend who reblogged that lives in Florida.
It's pretty funny how ballsy people can be when they don't live in an area that was impacted.
