A Night Without the Internet!!!

I cant help but comment on the awesomeness of the storms last night....but, thankfully, I had only left my laptop at Katelyn's and our power, thanks to a wonderful nuclear plant just south of here, stayed on.

Just wanted to drop a few lines about the media response as well as the preparedness of our area for the flooding....

Point 1: Why dont reporters help anybody? Back when the norovirus was hitting Hope, the reporters didnt help anyone get out before it was quarantined and, last night, WOOD TV 8's reporters just stood there and watched people get stranded...its sad, really.

Point 2: I was told that last night's kind of rain happened about 10 years ago...and again last year...and, of course, this year. I wonder what can be done...what great undertakings can be accomplished at your local (and I mean LOCAL) town hall to prepare West Michigan for these regular floodings? We have one of the biggest lakes in the world right next to us...we just need to dump the water into it...very easy, yet so hard.

Thank you and I'm sorry its so scattered :(

Members of the MSM can't be expected to put down the camera, the mic or the pad to help people in trouble. Helping is a very HUMANE thing to do.
