The most recent tropical storm known as Ida has been getting alot of desired attention lately. It finally reached the Gulf coast of Tuesday. Although it lost alot of power on the journey it still created some heavy rains across the southeast. It arrived at Dauphin Island, Alabama around 5:40 C.T. By 7:00 it was 25 miles within Alabama mainland. The storm at maxed out winds up to 45 mph and stronger gusts mixed in. The heavy rains have caused some floods in Alabama and Florida. Authorities have warned people of flooding, but since this is not a major storm not much consideration was recieved. Most Alabamans plan to wait it out and hope for the best.
In my opinion a storm of such low caliber should not even be allowed on the news. There is no threat to human lives unless their stupid enough to stay under water if their city does flood. Not many people want to hear about this kind of stuff when it doesnt affect them at all. I understand hurricanes can be deadly, but hurricane Ida at the moment is not much of a threat. Tornadoes are deadly also, but we dont see those stories spewed all over the news and internet every time one hits some hick down. Sure there are occasional reports, but it seems like every time there are small tropical news alot of fuss and complaining is done. Major news in Florida "it's raining," big deal. It's little thing that frustrate me about the media they blow stories way out of proportion just to get attention. Storms are natural occurances and we as people need to accept this. Deal with it people the world doesnt revolve around us. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against helping people in need, but when they actually need to help then it should be on the news. Dont waste our time.
