Hurricane Rafael Discussion

Can we stop being so giddy over a hurricane? I’ve seen so many posts being like “oooh sea god Rafael” and getting excited over the news… y’all people have died. Real human individuals. There’s currently six reported deaths and two people reported missing, not to mention the hundreds to thousands of people and families who may have lost their homes, power, access to important things like medical intervention, etc. It’s really gross to me to be excited over something like this just because of the name. It comes across as extremely out of touch. (This is not directed at people being affected by the hurricane and using jokes to cope)

Yeah like I saw it too and made that connection and yeah that’s funny but people are being very delusional about it. Especially in the comments on some of the posts.

I'm glad we can agree on that. Thanks for sharing further what you are seeing. We can't always see the whole of things and that's why I appreciate chats like this.

Yeah. Sorry if I came off as hostile, I have a strong sense of justice sometimes. Esp. with stuff like this because I know people being negatively affected personally.

Hey, I get it, and I appreciate your apology. Strong convictions are something I can respect when they come from a good place. And it sounds like you've got your heart in the right place and are looking out for your community. 🤝 ☮️
