the arrogance and flippancy of some freepers about this storm is disgraceful. sure, it’s “only” a 75-90mph storm... STRIKING NEAR-DIRECT BLOWS on up to four major population centers. oh right, liberals live there, so we don’t care... (rolls eyes)

I live in NYC and Irene will be a TROPICAL STORM with 40 mph winds tops in the city when it hits tomorrow.

And Lord Bloomberg shuts down the city and kills the economy for 3 days for a TROPICAL STORM?

Thank you.

It’s not arrogance and flippancy, it’s a reaction to the completely overblown hysteria on display by the media.

Sure it’s one thing to be prepared but it’s another thing completely to call it “historic” and “devastating” and “apocalyptic”.

It’s the Nanny State on parade. Put out the warnings and shut up. It’s a very minor storm and had been since before it made landfall.
