Sick to death of hearing about this storm….these things happen all over the World but somehow the UK media act as though it’s important to us, but do the US media report it if we have really bad weather…of course they don’t, because really they don’t give a toss. Funnily no one mentions the surrounding smaller country’s who are apparently forgotten.
The super storm apparently dropped from a 5 to a 1…. , but when you live in places that have a ‘Hurricane Season’ and a ‘Tornado Alley’ something tells me they’re a regular occurrence and to be expected if you live there.

My sentiments entirely Snowy, the UK media always sensationalises the Florida Hurricane season (along with other natural weather events to suit the CC agenda) despite the fact that these storms occur on a regular annual basis . I can empathise with US residents living or working in the UK having an obvious interest and also Brits who have relatives based or on holiday in Florida (although anyone holidaying during the hurricane season surely need their heads examining?). However, as you say most Brits will have very little interest in the blanket coverage.

It's still a pleasant change from the latest Israeli vs Arabs spat and Starmers antics however.

We are lapdogs to the USA.

They do react to our weather, Wondering why everything stops for 2" of snow, They laugh at it.

I lived there in Orange County for 3 years on and off. The problem is they are built mostly from wood and are extremely vunrable in hurricane season. It's not a legal requirement to have house insurance and its not cheap either due to hurricanes. We decided after being advised by a group of brits not to get insurance and instead put 5000 dollars into a savings account each year. We had lots of hurricanes in that time but not a scratch on the building. We sold it and cashed in the savings account of 15,000 dollars ( plus made a little interest ) and ended up probably saving us around 5000 dollars insurance payments over the 3 years. It was a worry at times particularly when not in Florida and not being able to do anything. The news channels always big it up but in reality most of thse hurricanes are usually no more than a 80 mph wind in the UK.

Mind you this coverage will have the eco loons and greens having orgasms and forecasting the end of the fecking world.

The brainwashed, unwashed eco-loons, greenies, just stop oil crackerjacks etc already preach that shite anyway. The excessive coverage of any severe weather event anywhere in the world is purely aimed at Joe Public. Thankfully it all appears to be having very little effect on ordinary folk who live in the real world as opposed to the land of fairies, elves and Greta Goblin.

So true, because these events have been happening for years and the end of the world predicted.
I can see the small surrounding Country’s and islands having a problem but no , we’re shown the plight of Florida who are more able to react to these events yet the little places ignored.
These sort of events occur all around the world but Florida gets the headlines.

" Very little effect on the ordinary people " or does it. Wait until we hear the clean up cost involved it will run to 10s of billions. I honestly believe it's a double whammy news story for all Americans Europeans etc. 1/ scare the hell of us to further push the climate agenda. With the constant brain washing of the news channels most silly people will be happier now to pay more taxes to help stop " so- called " climate changes. 2/ Show hugely inflated costs of repairs caused by these hurricanes in 10s of billions then Americans ( in this case ) will again accept more taxation in the next budget. The more billions put on thebpeople to fix the bigger the taxation will become. Look how easy we all fell for the bank bail out in 2008. It was a way to take out billions and give the World's people the bill. Same now in the U.K. with this Paul Daniels 22 billion debt All these huge made up or inflated figures are simply passed onto to the people and along with the blame. Yes they do keep saying its this party and that person to blame but the buck stops at the people feet. Allegedly

What does taxation eventually create its poverty.

Apologies, perhaps I chose the wrong wording, I wasn’t referring to the financial effect on the taxpayer for a clean up but the impact (or lack of it) of the endless CC propaganda on Joe Public - in the UK at least. The media climate change brainwashing process has been ongoing for more than 20 years and I have NEVER during that time been involved with a discussion in respect of the ‘threat’ with family members, work colleagues, the guys in the pub or even the proverbial stranger on a train. Nor have I even overheard such a discussion taking place. This indicates to me that very few Brits are taking CC seriously and consequently, should direct CC taxation eventually be introduced I would hope that it receives a similar hostile response to the withdrawal of pensioners winter fuel payments by Starmer.

If as some protestors claim the world is gonna end in ten years time, why are you protesting, no point now, so go home and enjoy yourself…unless you know it’s a big scam of course.

I was not having a go at you Joe just used your words to start my rant against the shit situation we are being forced into Maybe I should have realised it could look that way to you but honestly I wasn't mate. It's easy with hindsight to see I stupidly only used part of your sentence so fair play it does look like I was having a pop at you

they are not winning their argument which is why air quality is the main thing used to bring these policies in.

you are more likely to see national news of a fire in north dakota than one in the north east of england. some for reasons i,ll never understand are obsessed by the usa with little or none for any other world regions. they,d vote for brexit but would vote to be another state of the land of the free.

Just read the Northern Echo then

No worries Leggie, no offence taken whatsoever mate, I just wanted to clarify the wording my original post which I thought could easily be misread. It appears that many of us are singing from the same hymn book in respect of this issue.

seems singing from the same hymn sheet is getting popular now on most bunker topics. miss all this slagging off other fans for differing opinions.

Your wording was spot on mate it was my hatred of those bastards that got me doing a " Loyal Keyboard Warrior Rant " without taking a breath. People are very slowly starting to wake up but unless we stop the media incoming bullshit & lies it's possibly a little late to stop these absolute maniacs.

Funny how some (not all) of the people moaning about storm coverage are now talking about this election as if they were in Durham, North Carolina and not County Durham!!!

My experience of houses in the States was they were built from wood and plastic sidings, the roofs had felt look a like tiles as the structure wouldn’t support a tiled roof.
The occasional one did have a few bricks usually only the front, one of the reasons I was that they didn’t have brick houses is because there aren’t many bricked.

Florida's horrider than Whitley Bay.

No McEwan's Best Scotch in the USA...

They sell Newcastle Broon Ale but only in small bottles.

or nobody in whitley bay walking about looking like football clubs mascots.
