Cedar Rapids still feeling effects of "derecho".

I am in Cedar Rapids which was probably hit the hardest, I have posted on here just how devastating this event was. It really made me empathize and sympathize with what you folks in Louisiana have gone through. I have never seen anything like this and hope to never again. I was home when it came through and it really did unnerve me.
I never go into basement during a storm, we like to watch them up here... but I did for this one. I got lucky and only lost a gutter and a few downspouts to my house. No power for ten days and I still don't have internet. Probably 75% of the houses in Cedar Rapids will need their roofs replaced. We lost over 65% of the cities trees. It really is unfathomable what happened.
Here are some videos.

That’s brutal man, absolutely brutal. But If human suffering isn’t in a Coastal Blue State, it didn’t happen. I mean, we are from Louisiana, man. We get category 4 hurricanes and get less press than if Long Island has a snow storm.

Costing me a lot of money. And no college football to distract.
Clown world.

My son lost power in his house for a few hours and said he never had any idea what that is like.
States that aren't used to it don't have generators.

The coastal elites could care less about a bunch of Midwesterners who are suffering. No narrative to push in an election year. It is sad that this is where we are as a country now.
