It's gonna be bad; it always is the next day.
A lot of people are going to be really surprised, IMO.
The media lamebrains reflexivly interpret the absence of immediate news to mean "nothing bad happened" - they cannot comprehend that sometimes when all power is lost over a wide area, the bad news can't be discovered right away . . . then, when they later find out about all the damage they failed to take seriously, they try to minimize it to cover their butts for missing it in the first place. Hurricane Hugo was the classic example of this, but the pattern always repeats.
