“.... makes people callous to a future real storm”.

My sentiments exactly. I realize that some storms take on a life of their own and can change rather suddenly. However, many folks will ignore the next “urgings” to stock up or evacuate because of this.

Cristie is guilty of the same things Bloomberg is doing.
I trust the people to do the right thing for themselves and their families.

Without all these warnings and faux panic from the government and the media we have today, how did people possibly survive Hurricane Hazel in Oct of 1954 without all these warnings? Hazel hit the Carolinas as a Cat 4 and moving inward as a Cat 3 moving north all the way up to Toronto.

The media is all guilty of over-hyping this. Some idiot on FOX News yesterday call it a “killer monster storm” It's a what, Cat 2, tops? What would they call a Cat 5 then?
