My good friend about 5 minutes away from me lost everything. House, cars, personal shit. All gone. And the river hasn't even crested yet. Fucked up shit.

I turned down a road a few blocks from me the morning after the storm. A lake had risen over a road which ripped it away, and there was a huge waterfall running down into the houses below it, some of them were partially destroyed. Very surreal scene.
But noone died so it's not news worthy.

Yeh. I know it's not Times Square, and I'm a little partial to eastern NC, but some of these shots don't strike me as "not so bad."
- Yeah some of that looks like the side streets around my town.CygnusZero4

^ They reported about 40 deaths which I guess to the media isnt a lot, but due to the extreme hype most of the real trouble spots were almost completely evacuated.
So yes its very bad in some areas, but unless there is an extreme amount of deaths it gets ignored I guess. But for those that live around here and saw some of what happened know how bad some people got hit. The storm wasnt a pushover. It caused billions of damage in many states.
If there were more deaths they'd have more news teams out in some of these towns that were really fucked up.

So it looks like it was really bad in places the media has utterly ignored, thus giving the impression the storm was no big deal.

I didnt think this would be too bad, but it really was. There is a ton of flooding everywhere, trees down, some roads destroyed.
