I heard CBS Radio news at 9am. Only a brief mention of Florida, then a report live from Eastern Long Island -- where 2200 people have lost power. 2200!!!! Oh, but it's New York, so it's much more important!
I posted another thread - Wilma caused the largest power outage in FPL history. 3.2 million customers/6 million people affected.

It's pretty much a given that current conditions on L.I. are more important right now to those who live there. Like my son, for instance.
