America: 50☆Stars (Vol. 1)

Episode 4: Hurricanes are Windy Assholes

In 2018, a group of filmmakers decided to make a documentary regarding the recent surge of hurricanes, especially those that made landfall along the coasts of the United States. They selected a few Americans who lived in these hurricane-impacted areas to interview regarding their memories of hurricanes impacting their lives. Unfortunately, much of the footage was cut from the final product due to unspecified reasons.

Here was the deleted footage of the interviews they decided to cut:

"What was the worst hurricane you've experienced up until 2018?" asked the interviewer.

"The Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900," Texas was the first to answer.

"Uh, do you want to expand on that?"

Her eyes darkened. "12,000 people died. Is that good enough?"

The interviewer took a hard gulp. "Okay... Moving on."

Louisiana grumbled. "Hurricane Katrina was a bitch. Twelve years later, and I'm still not over it."

"Uh... How about you?" the interviewer turned to the Floridan.

"Let's see..." Florida snapped her fingers, trying to recall all the hurricanes she witnessed over the years. "The deadliest would be Labor Day in 1935. But the costliest would either be Andrew in 1992 or Irma from last year. But if I had to choose, I'd say Irma."

"Why would you say that?"

"She fucked up my tourism. Plus, I nearly drowned trying to shoot her."

The interviewer made a weird face. "Why were you shooting at a hurricane?"

She shrugged. "I thought it would make a good Instagram post. Although, my friends didn't find it funny for some reason."

"We were confident your crazy ass would survive another hurricane," said Louisiana off-screen. "Plus, we were more concerned with Tex getting over Harvey than you."

"The rain wouldn't stop. 7.8 out of 10. Too much water..."

"That's a shocker," said Florida. "Was that why no one liked my Two-Face post?"

Louise scoffed, "You made a meme over a catastrophic disaster."

"Idaho found it funny."

"The cynical potato doesn't count!"

"Cut!" the interviewer groaned.

On September 10, 2018, the Governor of South Carolina declared the evacuation of the entire coast in caution of Hurricane Florence's arrival on Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Both North Carolina and Virginia declared state emergencies. Neighboring states were kept aware of the storm's movements through social media and news outlets. Some went online to research the things they needed to prepare during a hurricane. One such video they found was created by the Carolina Sisters.

Here's that video:

"Hey, y'all!" South Carolina waves. "It's hurricane season, and some windy asshole named Florence wants to mess with me. But that's okay! I'm prepared!" She beams with confidence.

"No, you're not." North Carolina scrunches her face. "You didn't even board your house yet."

"Whatever. I'll do that later." She brushes her off. "Now then, let's get started."

"Listen up, folks! It's time to stock up on supplies!" says South Carolina to the camera.
