Can you not see the danger of accepting all your information from the same individual who also creates much of it?

PoliTaker, you're wasting your time trying to get through to TDaK.
Some people would rather believe a lie that makes them feel comfortable than the truth.
Methinks TDaK falls into that category.

However, deaths due to a lack of electrical power for hospitals and medical treatment are due to the storm that caused the lack of power and the lack of a proper response to the storm.

You are one sick racist mother fucker not worth the air you breath, and it is free.

Second, in the Carolina's we have building codes.
@PR if there are any such codes they're weaker, widely disregarded, with little if any enforcement.

Third,
this assertion conflates the message with the messenger.
Such impact assessments take time, particularly within storm-ravaged infrastructure. And when done properly such assessments are methodical, and as accurate as practical.
Even if wrong by an order of magnitude, it's still alarming.

Interesting euphemism for tropical paradise.

Funny, we have the best Navy in the world, or doesn't Trump think so?

It’s difficult to decide who is the stupidest motherfucker on this forum. But, it’s money in the bank that TDAK is in the top 2 or 3.

As I have often said I respond in the manner to which one responds o me. You started this thread based on your lie (which is all you ever have), and your racist beliefs. Live with it child, or at least have the backbone to understand what a pile of trash you are. You made no argument. You just stated your usual racist lies.
