Actually, I’m pretty certain that I know about hurricanes after 40 years of dealing with them. I didn’t say it was harmless. It just seems to be a lot more important to the media because this time because it’s headed for them.

Believe me it's the same with the puny little hurricanes that bang around in the Gulf ~ same media, same excuse to travel someplace, same, same, same.

People facing a hurricane probably all feel the same way ~ that the media don't really care about them.

This particular hurricane endangered Buffalo NY and Gary IN ~ which may have been more of a motivator for some of the newsies that you can imagine.

Dig up a Gulf Coast hurricane that endangers Gary and you got a winner eh!

There are also population numbers ~ this storm was a threat to over 50 million people ~ 1/6 of the population. Something like that always draws attention.
