People leave their kids in cars to fry? Wha? I can't even...
Here, we're used to storms, blackouts, droughts, etc... so generally I can't relate when there are those who complain about these things, because I don't find it difficult to cope. Doesn't mean I don't understand their pain, though. It has got to suck trying to adjust to something you're not used to. If snow magically decides to fall in our country, majority of the people here are probably going to freeze to death.
