Especially #378. A pickup through a brick wall. I know it is a Ford and all, but still impressive.

 

Lets go tractor tippin ya'll!!!

 

Sure, as long as you don't mind an F5 tornado doing it to you. Not funny.

 

alright. . .so that was a bit off line. . .Ive been rather sarcastic this morning and it just carried over here. . .

 

Here's whatI find truely amazing about this whole thing.

While one area had a flood, and the other had a tornado, BOTH were a complete loss, and yet one turned into mass chaos with robbing, shooting, looting, rape, murder ect, and the other quietly just goes about picking up the pieces with not much media attention at all.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm compairing New Orleans to this disaster. Pretty wild huh ....

 

that thought did notcross my mind. . .

 

Here in the mid west we respect our selves and other people because our mom and dad's raised us to be better then what you saw down in New Orleans.

 

Dude, I'm watching this whole thing unfold and I'm truely amazed. The people in Kansaspretty much had no warning at all, so they HAD to "ride the storm" sorta speak, whereas the people in New Orleans had PLENTY of notice and CHOSE to stay.

The people in New Orleans immediately started complaining that the government wasn't doing anything, looking for handouts, robbing, shooting, ect, whereas the people in Kansas pretty much had the same attitude as everyone had after 911. Because there isn't any "commotion" going on in Kansas, there isn't any media attention at all, no celebs or famous "Reverends" visiting, no "cash cards" being given out none of it.

God Bless the people in Kansas !! I wish everyone in America was like them !!

 

Donnie. . .I was in S. Miss after katrina hit assisting with the clean-up. . .the people in that area were glad to see us. two of my friends in MP units went into N.O. and were shot at on a daily basis, the sad part was they were bringing food and water with them to hand out FREE. . .most said they didnt want the "crap" we brough and were waiting in line at the mickie D's, KFC, wendies, and other places like that for it to open up[:@]

heck the first week I was there all the joints like that near me were giving away free food if you showed up in uniform. . .they even refused to take money from us. . .the second week was 50%.

 

Mayfair....that's a great point. I don't watch the news much so I haven't really heard much about it. But it sounds like they had 20-30 minutes of warning, which they are praising the fact they had that much time to prepare for it.

It is amazing to see how people deal with adversity. I think Kansasis a great role model for the rest of the country on how to grab your own boot straps and take care of business on your own
