For anybody who hasn't heard, Saturday night was a brutal night in Southeast Virginia and Central to Northeast North Carolina.
In a region that typically sees maybe a few tornadoes per year, there are reports suggesting that anywhere from 60-120 could have touched down across Virginia and North Carolina Saturday night.
This is unfathomable for an area that not only isn't equipped with any kind of warning sirens, but doesn't have the resources to respond to or deal with the devastation caused.
To someone from Oklahoma, Kansas, Alabama, etc. this might not be such a huge deal, but out here we got more tornadoes that night than the last decade combined. A lot of people lost their lives, their homes, and their possessions. There is almost nobody in the area that wasn't affected in some way.
So while people try to absorb and process what happened, the news cameras from all over the country start showing up. Inevitably, the douchebag reporters start asking douchebag reporter questions. The most common ones I have been hearing are as follows.
1. "How much does this hurt?"
2. "Does this change how you will prepare in the future?"
3. "Did you ever expect this to happen?"
4. "How will you be able to start over?"
5. "Does it make it difficult to know you've lost everything?"
SERIOUSLY? WTF? I'm about one stupid question from going on a rampage. My cousin has a house in Gatesville, NC. She was so emotinally devastated at the thought of what was awaiting her that she had me drive her down there. We get to where her house used to be, and it was just a foundation. There was not a single piece of debris, remnants, or anything of any kind left. Literally, a foundation in the middle of a field, with a few pipes sticking out of it.
Her entire house was gone, the pieces weren't even there for her to rummage through. It was like the tornado came down and just completely erased her entire house. It was the most sickening and spooky thing I have ever seen in my entire life.
So while I'm standing there with my jaw on the ground, completely in shock, and she is losing it completely, a reporter comes up to talk to her. No camera, just a reporter with her note pad.
Instead of giving condolences or just shutting the **** up, she felt the need to ask, "what are you feeling right now?" "Do you think your life will ever be the same?" SERIOUSLY BITCH?
What the hell is wrong with these heartless scumbags? Is there really a reason why, even with the lack of an audience, they still ask this stupid ****?
