"Nobody is denying that there is a storm churning"

Clearly you haven't been paying attention to the many threads on Sandy. I suggest you might try reading some of them before. Consider this there are 50 Million people in the path of Sandy. Consider: http://egsc.usgs.gov/isb/pubs/booklets/elvadist/elvadist.html New York 410’H to Sea Level Philadelphia 421’H to Sea Level Baltimore 489’H to Sea Level Washington DC 410’H to Sea Level Consider everyone of the major cities in Sandy's path have rivers prefect for channeling storm surges inland. Glad you had a nice commute. I hope those in Sandy's way have just such a 'breeze' day, but I doubt it.

Thank you for a clear head.

People who are not likely to be affected - or - those who are just out of the storm’s path and all of whom are watching the News Channels or the Weather Channel 24/7 should just CHANGE CHANNELS OR TURN THE DAMN TV OFF!!!!!

That should stop the ‘HYPE’.
