I guess you're too young to remember Katrina.

Yeah hurricanes was a bad choice. Should probably just give up on that one TS

There was also the one in Houston a few years ago that didn’t kill a lot of people but destroyed an immense amount of property
 
Riots are nothing to thumb your nose at bruh

Neither are any of the other things you mentioned. lol

I have lived in the Northeast for the last 30 years..Every hurricane season the news reports a Category 4 or 5 heading for us..Every year the supermarkets get packed with people buying milk, all the milk..
90% of the time by the time the Category 4 hits, it’s a tropical storm, and all the dummies are stuck with 10 gallons of milk,,
Maybe in other parts of the Country the news doesn’t exaggerate, but up here, it’s all they do..

The Northeast.... k.

Now try Florida, Louisiana. Little bit different.
 
My UPS packages are being delayed because of the riots. Truly the end of the world IMO.

To be fair, many (most) places weather hurricanes just fine. Go figure, if you build a city not suited to deal with hurricanes well, it won't deal with hurricanes well. For every picture you show, there are going to be literally hundreds of places hit by dozens of hurricanes that suffered only minor damage. Keep in mind that the OP was about media reporting, and this is how the "the most trusted name in news" presents (some) hurricanes:

As for Covid, well, the initial panic estimates (from academics, widely cited by the media) had the place I live in with 800,000 infected and exponentially more deaths than we have right now, as we tick around at about 1% of the estimated number of infections/deaths. Yes, 1%.

Riots? I don't know, but something tells me that the social impact will be far, far greater than the actual damages.

I'd say you can nitpick if you want, but there is a reasonable interpretation of the OP. If you selectively pick and choose, of course you can make it seem silly - but be aware that you're selectively picking and choosing.

This seems more War-Roomish to me than Mayberry'ish.

Many of the guys here are dummies, they have Brain Damage,,
I was only pointing out the obvious, but the fearful people here would much rather believe everything the news reports and don’t like having their fear confused with facts..

A friend from CT called me today and warned me against going into manhattan tonight and last night..I was like WTF...guess where they got that impression? 99.9% of NYC is fine, couple of young punks looting, that’s it. But most of the crew hear who believes the bullshit news will be thinking NYC is burning to the ground..
 
It wasn't long ago the TV showed the one area maybe in FL where all homes were leveled to the ground except one house was intact because the owner spent money to built it above and beyond building code standards.

At this point in time, with the pres, the coronavirus, the rioting and looting, it is crystal clear the vast majority of the population are extremely stupid with rotten attitudes, so we all need the news to motivate people to prepare for disaster. Those who don't will end up angry on TV acting like it's everyone else's responsibility to give him money, food, shelter.
 
I've been waiting for the apocalypse my whole life. Ready to watch the world burn let's goooo!
