Quote from: DRYANKNPULL on Mar 27, 2023, 12:35 PMWhat do you do in this situation?  There's nothing that can improve the standard of living there. It would be very hard to justify investing insurance or aid money to rebuild a town destined for poverty.

The median income for a household in the city was $23,081, and the median income for a family was $24,911. Males had a median income of $25,729 versus $17,065 for females. The per capita income for the city was $11,481. About 30.6% of families and 37.1% of the population were below the poverty line, including 50.0% of those under age 18 and 24.6% of those age 65 or over.

While all this is true, it's a little misleading.  Poverty in Little Rock isn't exactly poverty there.  It's similar in age to a lot of small towns in the delta, and you can buy a 3br/1.5 bath brick home for $30k in a lot of places.  Of course, it was likely built by Moses when he was practicing to build the boat, so there's that.

Other things like transportation and food cost pretty much the same as they do in Jackson, but housing is pretty damn cheap in a place like that.

FEMA will offer them Katrina trailers and a $40 gift card to Dollar General and get some publicity out of it until the news cycle moves on.

We know at least two people who died.  Sad deal.

How racist of me to assume they already had one.  I will say 3 "hail Al Gore" and sit in the corner for 27 minutes.

It's pretty rare for the nws to issue this level of threat.

Amateur storm chasers all along the Mississippi valley are are jerking off to Jim Cantore you tube videos.

"That's embarrassing.  Looks like Josh Duggar the first time his parents asked him to babysit."

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Once authored a post that critics claimed, "Was notaslibro level."

Just flipped it on channel 4 and the weather guy said you should have your tornado helmet handy. Switched it over to Todd and Barry.

A farmer I sold some grain bins to in Tunica made a comment last week about how he wishes a storm would blow his old bins down so he could buy more new ones.

Maybe that was bad timing.
