For attention on social media. We?re in the middle of Dorian here on eastern Canada and it?s pretty nasty out. We are very thankful it?s weakened compared to its strength a week ago where it took so many lives and caused mass destruction. God help the poor souls. Right now it?s blowing close to 100mph here and raining. There?s people out driving around in the storm taking daring videos of how bad things are being damaged and posting it on Facebook. What is wrong with some people??? Stay the heck home and keep safe as you can with your family. Why is it worth it to risk their lives to capture and share videos of things being destroyed while it?s happening. I don?t understand it.

There's always been really stupid people, you just didn't know about them.
Nova Scotia was hit pretty hard earlier,we won?t know how bad it is here until the morning as it didn?t directly effect us till after dark. The current sustained winds are down to 60mph with gusts around 85. Earlier in this area a gust was recorded a little over 90mph.

The sad part is when the storm forces a car wreck they will expect first responders to come get them.

The problem got a lot worse with the onset of social media. First it was weather channel folks trying to boost ratings, then other idiots decided to get in on the act.
I heard a couple years back about some idiot that started a "Storm Tourist" business, taking folks into the path of tornadoes and such. ...If the money-hungry entrepreneur is an idiot, what's that say about the customers??!! :shock: :lol:

TF,
Well said.
One could include riding a motorcycle with out a helmet, skydiving, down hill skiing bungee jumping, etc, etc.
They are not things I need or want to do but who cares if others to it.

A year or so ago weather channel trying to make it look worse than it was was shooting video of their guy barley struggling to walk in the high wind while announcing how bad it was. There was a guy in background walking with no problem.----Jerks, false news reporting caught live

In America we can mostly do as we damned well please. I was a first responder for 20 years but never resented people who did stupid things that resulted in me having to do my job or risk my life. I signed up for it.
