A lot of those evacs were island communities and really low lying areas along inland bays and coastal communities. Particularly campgrounds and mobile home communities in and around the water.
Not all were over reaction, at least not in this area.

Despite the things they've done I don't like, Christie and Bloomberg seem to be doing pretty good with this (although Bloomberg's nanny-statism always seeps through). Light years ahead of MA governor Deval Patrick, who gave a press conference today warning of 90 M.P.H. winds and tornadoes for our state. I have yet to see any reasonable source for that statement (at least the wind speed part).
The comments at the Boston Herald story gave me a laugh, at least. One poster said the only thing doing 90 in Massachusetts would be an illegal alien behind the wheel.
