Tropical Storm Amanda is just common sense, but here in [City Name] we can't even handle a drizzle without the whole place falling apart. I saw the city council posting about 'preparedness' – what a joke. My street floods every time a cloud farts, and they're talking about stocking sandbags. Maybe if they fixed the drains instead of wasting money on another useless consultant study, we wouldn't need a tropical storm to remind them. My neighbor's got his generator out early – that's more common sense than any of them have shown.
