I make no comment on the subject from the title of the post.
However, on the situation the Hurricane created, I just don’t see the news of the calamity representing the high pitch of “unprecedented” that has been given to the weather reports about the storm.
To me, so far, there is a disconnect between the reported severity of the storm and the actual calamity it is creating.
Cognitive dissonance on the part of the media. I see from your profile you are from New Jersey so I’m sure what is unfolding here is simply a side news item. It doesn’t surprise me that the NE wouldn’t give much time to those of us in Houston. It’s not in your backyard. An area larger than the size of Connecticut (initially I thought Rhode Island) with 7 million people is underwater.. No Hyperbole. If this were happening in the Boswash Corridor—wall to wall news, I’m sure. https://www.harriscountyfws.org
