Ooh it’s W I N D Y! Soooooo scaaary.
Weak. Sauce.
The lack of national attention sure makes it look like Ernst is weak and the electoral college isn’t protecting our interests.
Next time you have a hurricane, remember that.Lol. Money and sympathy should be pouring into Iowa from all over the world to get the Internet up. Ethiopia has pledged a $1 a day and a sandwich for a month.

Wear your goggles.Or a tsunami! Don’t forget a tsunami.
I don't understand the point of this. Some places like Cedar Rapids have been devastated. If reports of not having power for over a month in some areas because there are too many trees and power lines down to be dealt with doesn't qualify for disaster aid, I'm not sure what does.Lol.

A horrible comparison.This is like a Floridian posting video of the horrors of a 4 inch snow fall!
We also have large trees that caused a lot of destruction. I'm sure florida has some tall trees but not the numbers we have in older neighborhoods.A horrible comparison.
You guys know when a Cat 2/3 hurricane is coming. We didn’t.
A 4” snow takes half a day (if that) to “recover” from. Even when you have ample warning of a hurricane, it still takes you guys a while to get back to normal, right?
The landscapes are completely different. If it wasn’t worth it/too risky for us to have large, hardwood trees, we wouldn’t have them. Just a quick google satellite view of a neighborhood in Iowa vs. one in Florida shows how different we are.We also have large trees that caused a lot of destruction. I'm sure florida has some tall trees but not the numbers we have in older neighborhoods.
LOL-you clearly have never been to Tallahassee! I bet we have more trees in Leon County than a 1/4 of Iowa. Not even joking. And yea, they get big here too.We also have large trees that caused a lot of destruction. I'm sure Florida has some tall trees but not the numbers we have in older neighborhoods.

Good point. I’ve only spent lengths of time in South Florida. Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely wooded areas where I was, but driving down a typical residential street, it wasn’t tree-lined and shaded.You may want to look on the north part of state..
I haven't been to Tallahassee but the parts of florida that I have been to didn't have large trees. I just assumed they were already taken out by hurricanes or people didn't plant large trees because of hurricanes.LOL-you clearly have never been to Tallahassee!

I was just having fun guys, and I do know it sucks because you never saw it coming and your utility infrastructure, houses, and yes trees, are not designed, evolved for a small, quick hurricane .
