What is amazing are the people on this thread saying this thing was "over hyped"! I wonder what they are thinking.

Well, there were posts about 100,000 deaths...I think I'd call that going over the top.

I'm not talking about posts, I'm talking about news reports. If you want to cherry pick individual posts, you can easily complain about ANYTHING.

Do you think the reporting the Weather Channel was doing yesterday was "overhyped"?

If another Cat 5+ were to actually hit N.O. next year you'd get the exact same estimate. 50K to 100K casualties. They just got lucky today.
