hurricanes happen, this one wasn't insanely huge and hit areas in the US that are pretty well prepared for those kinds of things. im not saying it isn't a big deal, but idk why this particular storm was in the news so much more than others. it hit some island in the caribbean much harder than it hit america.
It is a big deal because it is the first hurricane of that magnitude to make landfall since Rita and Katrina. It was a moment of truth to see if all the rebuilding they had done would survive another hit like that. Fortunately it didn't follow exactly the same path or was as powerful but it still did a lot of damage. All my family that was hit by Rita evacuated like 24 hours before landfall I don't think they have made it home yet though because of the water and all the power lines are down.
LOL me too i wad like shiiiiiiiit, Margreg is in danger!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway, New orleans barley got out,
but i dont watch the news, so i wouldn't know, still, i was like "I hope those poor people are safe"
