Proud of Oklahoma Folks

[DavidMcmillan]

Watching coverage of hurricane and activities in New Orleans, and cannot help but compare to the way folks around OK acted during and after the fires last month. When told to evacuate, virtually all did, and when it was over, there was no crying for government help, just good people helping others in need.

I am very glad to be living here!

The scale of people effected is too vastly different to be compared.

While true, ill take my community when shtf. Im sooo proud of the way our VFD handled the evacuation and fires. Im proud of my community and local businesses and local govt.

yeah, and Oklahomans would tell them where to stick it when they call for your firearms, like they did in Katrina.

I am proud to be Oklahoman.

I didn't say I wasn't proud of how badass we are, I love our state and it's people.... well most of them.

Paquimine parish always floods, and is usually one of the first to be placed under mandatory evacuations, there were about 100 people too stupid to head the warnings, didn't we have a person or 2 just on this board that were told to evacuate during the fires and didn't?

New Orleans itself was not placed under an evacuation order other than some blown out windows no major problems i the city. Just spoke to a friend of mine down there who is a general contractor. A couple of my friends who live in the quarter itself have been posting on Facebook
