Typical. I have been through many storms, earthquakes and wildland fires. I will submit that I have survived more than anyone on the Eastern seaboard. One of the largest earthquakes in Kalifornia history had the epicenter 3 miles from my home. In 1982 we lived through a storm that dumped 20 inches of water in 12 hours. Fires that go to 10,000 acres in 20 hours and burn hundreds of homes.

A once in a lifetime storm doesn't even pass muster.

What about people that lived through the flooding in the Midwest all Summer? Haven't heard jack about them and that was for weeks on end. That was the point of the OP; why is this storm so hyped? Because it dared to enter the world of the elite in NYC.

Apparently you are doing well enough to be Freeping.

Don't know where you are or what news you listened to, but I'm in California and I heard plenty about the flooding in the midwest.

Thoughts and prayers for all those affected by the storm.
