This might be the most over-hyped “hurricane” of all time. It surely doesn’t merit the 24/7 coverage FNC is giving it.

We panicked - bought supplies, reserved a hotel room, packed and prepared. Then we reconsidered and decided to stay in the SC low country. So I needed this from a friend close by in Hilton Head:) Lighten UP!!!!

Thinking back a few years, while living in Florida, I remember Hurricane Andrew. I was ready for it, but my first wife was not. When the wind reached a screaming freight-train pitch with the trees thrashing and snapping, the horizontal streaming rain, the flying roof shingles and tiles, the destroyed fences, my wife was rooted to the one same spot. She stared and stared through the glass of the window. Immovable, with her nose pressed to the window, the stark fear in her eyes will stay with me forever.

Fortunately, as the eye of the storm arrived and the winds temporarily lessened, I was able to grab a beer, open the door and let her in.

I don’t think there’s any doubt this is the most overhyped hurricane of all time. Maybe the most overhyped weather event.
