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.
