NWS Nieuws & Achtergronden
Discussieer hier diepgaander over de actualiteiten.
Niet echt zo heel veel nieuws meer, behalve dat het allemaal gelukkig wat meegevallen is. Er wordt nog wel enkele dagen flooding verwacht, aangezien de rivieren die grote hoeveelheid water niet aankan.quote:Op zondag 28 augustus 2011 19:55 schreef Maver24 het volgende:
Zijn er nu nog enige nieuws te bespeuren het laatste 2 uur, heb niet echt meer opgelet zeg maar. Waar zit de storm nu en wat is de nasleep,

Blijkbaar zat ze vast of zo. Ze had de politie gebeld, maar die bereikte haar pas enkele uren later -weet niet precies waarom-. Ze vonden haar dood in haar auto.quote:

De brandweerman schijnt nog te leven, maar in kritieke toestand in het ziekenhuis te liggen.
Officiele dodental door Irene staat nu op 15.
Natuurlijk 15 te veel, maar ik denk dat er in het verkeer dagelijks waarschijnlijk meer mensen omkomen in de VS.

Als je dit ziet dan zijn die maatregelen toch niet bepaald overdrevenquote:

Schade is er altijd, maar gelukkig niet zoveel slachtoffers als het hadden kunnen zijn.

Zo te zien op de radar komt er nog wel regen aan bij NY enzo maar niet veel meer. Het is nu meer de nasleep
Maar je hebt wel internet, zelfs al heb je geen stroomquote:

18 doden zijn er 18 teveel.... maar ik vraag me af of er niet per ongeluk ook nog een paar doden zijn voorkomen doordat het een stuk rustiger op straat in NYC was bijvoorbeeld.

Waarschijnlijk wel, maar helemaal zeker zul je het nooit weten. (Tenzij ze de tijd kunnen terugdraaien en dan zonder waarschuwingen de herhaling draaien.)quote:

Waar was jij? Natuurlijk zijn de meeste mensen aardig, maar ik kom mijn hele leven in Amerika (ik heb er zelfs gewoond voor een korte periode en op een privé school gezeten toen ik klein was) en ik vind dat de meeste mensen daar simpelweg erg overdreven zijn qua gedrag, ook vooral de rijkere mensen, in mijn omgeving dus. En overdreven, ja, al helemaal als je ze vergelijkt met Nederlanders.
Overdrijven over het overdrijven. Nou, ga er maar naast staan.

Met een orkaan vind ik het toch een ander geval, onvoorspelbare fenomenen zijn 't. Better safe than sorry. Maar een weer alaram om drie sneeuwvlokjes is wel wat teveel van het goede.quote:
