How?  HOW???

How is it POSSIBLE that a woman who reads the newspaper every day and watches the news at least once a day could possibly MISS an entire two days of media discussion about flooding evacuation in a county not 20 miles from her home??  HOW could she miss emergency news broadcasts, tickers running across the bottom of the t.v. screen for 48 hours, newspaper headlines and a freakin' CNN piece regarding a DAM about to give way JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM HER HOUSE 

- when her daughter has worked for freakin' Dam Safety for over eight years???

HOW????  TELL ME!!!!

Virginia Tech happened after our flooding was over.

sorry, didn't mean to be snarky. Just sick of them trotting out grieving parents and asking them how they feel not that their kids are dead.

I understand. It is getting old here, too. And they are discovering more reasons behind that boy's mental illness. I wonder how much they will focus on the bullying he received.
