It's a hurricane, not Armageddon. Good grief. A Category 1 storm, you'd think "Irene" was the worst storm America has ever endured.

Sincerely,
The City of London, England.
Perhaps you’d like to come down here and join us in our “little storm”.
I already dealt with the little storm, and it was a little storm, and it was a joke.
Don’t be jealous now, not very becoming :o)
We’re working our way up slowly to mass riots and looting...
It is. It's all Irene, all the time. It's like the Sham-Wow commercial from hell.
It’s a joke when people die, it’s an even bigger joke when there’s a hurricane mixed with tornadoes. Those of us in the path of this “joke” are not the least bit amused.
We have a been doing this alot in recent modern history, overhyping every little thing and causing panic and fear, which allows for government to do whatever it wants if they convince the people that armageddon is coming.
(example: 700 billion dollar bailout)
Recent generations are also growing up with the feeling of entitlement, and overconfidence and little know how. Basically kids who are smooth talkers with little action behind those words. Now im going off on a tangent, apologies.
After this non-event, the cities and states along the east coast wil NEVER be able to convince the masses to evacuiate again. This is be like the fable, ‘ The boy who cried wolf’.
Nonetheless, the Governors and Mayors of the east coast cities are going to request hundreds of billions of dollars from the Federal Gov’t for “disaster recovery”.
What a joke!!!
Relatives who live in trailers evacuated ... when I went to check on their places this morning there was no damage in the neighborhood at all.
The Weather channel is so used to reporting the mundane that when the unusual occurs, they have to magnify it to appear like another Katrina.
People die every day. How many people have died evacuating? We won’t be told.
I live in Florida and have been through numerous hurricanes. Take basic precautions and stay inside.
People in the NE need to stop with the drama though. Right now the media is making you look like fools.
as usual, the narcissists of the urban east coast.
Very appropriate. This “storm” like the people hyping it are nothing more than pimples on the ass of time.
There are 10 people dead so far because of this “overhyped” storm, including an eleven year old child who was apparently allowed to go outside by parents who thought this was a “little, over-hyped storm”.
Scoffing at the potential of this “little storm” is just as foolish as “unncessarily dire warnings” although I’m not sure there is such a thing.
A pox on both your houses.
I don’t think potential record flooding is drama. And that appears to be on tap in many areas. Agnes was ‘just’ a tropical storm here in the NE and caused major flooding. That is the real danger of these systems up here.
No storm will ever equal Katrina for PC and political mileage.
You've survived all that because of who you were.
You won't survive Muslim immigration and the liberal welfare state because of who you've become.
In 25 years London will be Sarajevo on the Thames.
Good Luck.

Rockabyebaby is right.
Kelsie,
Must be nice not having to deal with power outages, property damage, road washouts and flooding.
While it ain’t the end of the world for most of us, it has already been the end of the world for at least a few who won’t be down for breakfast today. Not to mention those who’ve had property damaged or destroyed and who won’t have water or lights today .
So Kelsie, stay comfortable in your nice little bubble. When and if you get hit with tragedy, we’ll be here to lend a helping hand and a soft shoulder. But we’ll know better than to count on the likes of you for the same.
It appears that the beltway crowd fears that with a little moisture they will dissipate like a cow pie. LOL
This is the most hyped steamer to come by for a long time. Real disasters have happened in fly-over this year and didn’t even get figuratively whizzed on by the Lefturds.
We need some real climate change if it will flush the east coast toilet, bring it on.
I’m in Central Mass. and my parents from Florida are calling me in a panic to see if I’m still alive. My message to the media: “STOP SCARING MY PARENTS”.
Oh, and please somebody post a pic of Geraldo standing out in the rain.
