Now they're all finally getting in on the act and telling us what we already know. They don't want to appear as being behind the curve, and since the news is out, they might as well join in.
This is what MSM should have done before going around saying, "We dodged a bullet" so prematurely. If they claim they couldn't reach the affected areas until now so they didn't know about the devastation, ask them how they could conclude we dodged a bullet without having gotten into those areas to confirm whether or not there was devastation. Seems to me they simply should have been cautiously optimistic at best, and held off any proclamations of dodging a bullet until having more information. Once again, they're caught with their pants down.
Also got caught with pants down for Andrew. Even were forced to upgrade the final rating, eventually.
