  1. Re:Why worry about Category 5 or 6? on For Overstated Claims, Gore, Tesla Upbraided By NWS, NHTSA Respectively · · Score: 1

    For those who dont get it, I was impacted in the Saguenay flood (Quebec, Canada) in which we had whole neighbourhoods washed away with water. More recently, a crude oil train exploded downtown where I live, killing 50 people and razing half downtown... Not trolling, just putting things in perspective.

    More like "to its ankles". Buildings were not washed away, it was a minor inconvenience in a highly populated area.

    Dude, the Far Canadian North is NOT used for smuggling anything in the country, it is just not economical. You also have to move the stuff to consumer centers. As we speak, you need to transit via Greenland by plane to reach the far north, and you cen expect delays if there is a storm on the way.
