Ridiculous

Get over it.  Who cares?  "Oh we didn't get sympathy from the media."  Big deal.  I have been through four major hurricanes in the last 20 years (Andrew, Opal, Charley and Ike though Ike wasn't at landfall), so you can't say I have no basis for what I'm saying.

If you want sympathy so bad, move to New Orleans and continue whining.  Real Texans (and Floridians for that matter I may add) take care of their business when a hurricane strikes and don't give two flicks of a rat's tail if someone sympathizes or not.  

New Orleans is a very unique situation because a lot of people died and they all blamed the govermnent.  In reality, the main problem was the people didn't follow what the government told them but then blamed the government for their foolish decision to stay.  In Texas not very many people died because they took care of things themselves.  They didn't wait for the government to take care of them or the media to sympathize with them.  They got the heck out of dodge before the storm came and they all helped each other after the storm was over to rebuild the community.
