The other residents of Birmingham, Alabama might be so forgiving, but, NOT ME!
The truth of the matter is, and no one can change my mind, so Don’t even Try.
Governor, Robert Bentley, Mayor, William Bell, and Birmingham meteorologists screwed up! Birmingham residents where told there would be a light dusting of snow, if any, without complications. D–n did they miss the mark. Al Roker had warned everyone differently, but was ignored.
Suppose to be Governor! Robert Bentley should just resign! It’s been clear for a very long time he cares nothing about the residents of Birmingham, and he showed us once agin when he allowed this city to be paralyzed for over 24 to 36 hours, because of snow.
William Bell! Yes I tried to call you too, and no answer. My only daughter, mother of three (3) and wife was stuck on 65 North for over 22 hours. I prayed all night, and Yes! God kept my child safe. Not our electeds! and to God I owe the Praise. Thanks to her husband who also was stranded on 280 over 20 hours, who walked, to 65 where his wife was to get them both home safely and to their three children. Where was the National Guard? who should have been in place before the disasters, not after. No one saw them.
Our officials weren’t and didn’t prepare! Which is inexcusable and unforgettable. Obviously they are not qualified for the jobs that they were hired to do. They let the people of this city down and should be ashamed of themselves for the unnecessary sleepless day and night they caused mothers like me, as well as any family that had to worry about their loved ones stranded on the freeways that long.
To the officials – If you can’t and won’t do your jobs that we voted for you to do RESIGN! and let someone who knows what to do, in instances like this one; and let someone who knows how to prepare in advance for an emergency. If you can’t and won’t, please for the sake of the residents of Birmingham STEP DOWN!!
