We have good friends of the family in Ft. Lauderdale that were fortunate to have almost no issue with the storm. Another family friend in St. Augustine may have lost everything due to storm surge / flooding. Separation of roughly 200 miles made a big difference.
As pointed out very eloquently above, it's likely more than 1000 people have lost their lives due to this storm. It's easy to sit 1000+ miles away and pontificate on your perception of media coverage; here's a thought, how about showing some compassion and empathy for your fellow humans!
We whine because the water is too low to get to our vacation homes. Those poor souls in Haiti had nothing before the storm and have lost even that! Seriously, how about a little perspective check before posting some of this stuff. In the words of a late and beloved great aunt, "it doesn't cost anything to be nice." Think about it....
