Sad
Biden is crazy
Got here just to say that I don’t care.
These people: "Hahaha, look at those crazy preppers preparing for emergencies like major blizzards."
Also these people: "Help! I'm stuck, have no heat, and am hungry!"
"It's not my fault. It's climate change's fault." – Hochul
LMFAO… It's snow, not a tornado not an earthquake. You sit home then shovel out. 😂😂😂😂😂
and every time the govt makes a suggestion to help their citizens, they ALWAYS do the opposite.
You woke green leftists must be happy with the snow covered solar panels and frozen windmills . We know you hate oil and gas. How's that working for you. Happy now. Sure am glad you've got that global warming to count on. Ha,ha,ha,…
Thanks to the Barber gentleman❤🙏
Someone in need, HELP !!!
The world is broken & there's absolutely nothing wrong with trying to put it back together.
It's is your brother/sister.
I AM hungry
I AM thirsty
I AM never welcomed
I AM naked
I AM sick
I AM incarcerated
We must accept that officials make mistakes while doing the best they can. During tragic events such as this blizzard, it's hard to swallow when lives are lost. Let's extend compassion while we right the wrongs. ♥️
CCP is weaponizing Covid 19 (AGAIN). Don’t let ANY of the Chinese into America or anywhere else for that matter! Don’t you find it a bit odd their opening the borders to travel now that they have lost control (again), think people! It’s on PURPOSE! CCP doesn’t do anything by accident. Haven’t you heard how good they are at faking things, you think a little thing like a Covid card/paper will be hard to replicate?! They can replicate the 1880’s Morgan Dollar perfectly for goodness sake’s. Don’t trust them or you’ll regret it. It will be 2020 all over again and GOPer’s will have something on you for 2024. They are weaponizing Covid 19 AGAIN. You’ve been warned!
What kind of response do you expect? Flamethrowers to melt the snow on the roads? Napalm? Wtf? What else are they supposed to do? Why didn't you go outside and help people?
Mother Nature always wins … duhhhh stay home 🏠…. Sadly some people went out still … 🌧️🌨️🌨️🌨️🌨️🌨️
No doubt libs will blame conservatives again
Flip side… You cant tell people that they cant travel, but you can provide proper equipment for dealing with the snow… It snows here where I live all the time… We know how to deal with it… The world does not stop for snow around here… We make sure we have the right tires, the right vehicles, the right tools – and day to day live goes on… Its just Winter… A good ole strong Winter…
Stay safe
Get the book Suburban & Urban Survival Guide by Tom Brown the Tracker! Tom covers what to do in many different situations including snow storms, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes .Tom was trained as a young child by an Apache Elder &:Scout Grandfather Stalking Wolf. Tom actually lived 1 year alone in the Bob Marshall Wildness Area in Montana, Grizzley bear country! He only took in 1 knife! He even made his own clothes! Tom also trained US Army Rangers on Native American survival techniques. You working WITH NOT AGAINST NATURE! He also tracked many missing children for the FBI! I highly recommend Tom's book. He makes the point that when the power goes down, we are not that much different from our pioneer ancestors!
There should be no blame placed on anyone. It's common sense to stay home in that kind of weather.
Mother nature reminding everyone who's in control!
National Guard should have been called in Saturday. Still hard to believe so many deaths. Too many preventable deaths.
Catastrophic Snow Fall. No one to "Blame". It was an "Act of God". Critics most likely have Never Held a Snow Shovel, in their entire life.
Your safety is your responsibility in most cases. There's exceptions…but for capable able bodied adults,your safety and well Being starts with yourself. Everyone knew the storm was coming. What were they supposed to do? Plow roads in white out blizzard conditions? Set up huge tent cities? What were they supposed to do?
Schools should have been closed Thursday. Only emergency personnel on roads Friday. Ban on roads Friday to public. Healthcare should have been provided with 72 hours of housing in hospitals. Blizzard was announced a week prior. That was the time to prepare. Anyone who had special needs with healthcare, medications and generators in case of power outages needed to take care upon learning of blizzard a week prior. Hopefully there will be a review to better educate persons for future. If you have a Disaster Management Department in your state, join and learn . I lived in NE, parents taught us to prepare for worst. If there is a de icing available similar to aircraft, multiple persons are in need in Buffalo to prevent collapse of homes.
If you actually rely on the Government to help you in times of need, then blame yourself for being stupid.
This is ridiculous, people are always looking for someone to blame, this was an Act of God no one can control the weather
Givmoneyto Ukraine! Giv giv! Thank you verimach! 🇺🇦🙏❤️🏳️🌈
This is what makes me mad. We did not learn anything from Katrina. How long in the aftermath did it take for them to deploy the 1st Cav and 82nd Abn to New Orleans in the aftermath of that disaster. Fort Drum is literally 3 hours away from Buffalo. The 10th Mountain Division has access to specialized recovery equipment not available to first responders. You have motivated good hearted Soldiers up there who would have not hesitated to help Buffalo given a moments notice. One Brigade Combat Team of about 7000 Soldiers spreading out thru Buffalo would have made a huge difference and possibly saved lives.
Efficient system to adopt, up coming extreme conditions, to save lives
If i choose to leave my home in the middle of a blizzard and i don't come back, only blame me.
We knew about climate change 40 fkn years ago. I have some questions about the response time too.
Not the city's fault all those morons chose to drive in such conditions.
They can use thirsty cement and use native trees and put the snow around the trees so when it melts the streets don't flood and the trees get watered.
Whats thirsty cement look it up its a 1 minute video.
