“The massive storm was downgraded just after it barged ashore in southern New Jersey”

Katrina, Cat 5, 175mph
Allen, Cat 5, 190mph
Andrew, Cat 5, 175mph
Camille, Cat 5, 190mph measured before it destroyed the measuring instruments.

Sandy, Cat 1, 90mph. (the “monster storm” in history, because it happened in the belt between DC and NYC, the most important place on earth. Also, gave Obozo a chance to play master and commander of the far side of the earth)

I think you are leaving one thing out. Sandy had slower winds, but covered a far bigger area.

There's so much exegerration about Katrina. Yeah highest maximum sustained winds went up to 175mph at one point but not inland yet.
1) It first made landfall on August 25, 2005 in South Florida, as a cat 1 hurricane. It had wind speeds of 80mph.
2) It made its’ second landfall as a Cat 4 hurricane near Buras-Triumph, Louisiana with 145mph winds. This happened on August 28th.
3) Katrina then made its third landfall near Pearlington, Mississippi and Slidell, Louisiana, with sustained winds of 120mph
Sandy made landfall at 90mph, not a frankenstorm after all.

exactly nail on head.

This happens in the most important part of America ARF and all hell breaks lose.

The media or most of the national media are located up in NY city so they think all of the country is NY the DC area.

Do we see the media out in western PA reporting the storm, hell no, do we see them in WV, hell no.

Sandy was bad, and it hit a part of the country which is not used to it but trying to say this was like Katrina or Andrew or lets not forget entire towns in MO, OK with tornado’s or when TN got flooded is laughable.

Watching FOX and most of their rpeorting is NY city /NJ but the storm is out there in WV right now and I;ve seen nothing.

Like you said , now bozo the clown will be out there and saying how he is helping, remind people about Katrina whch was not Bush’s fault unless you work in the media and the media will say how he bozo the clown did a great job bla bla bla.

There is some flooding, some trees down, hell we had a tree down on power lines yesterday and a neighbor came and got his chain saw and cut it .
