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.

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 live in PA about 2 hours from the shore. It’s been a wild night with high winds and rain. The wind is still howling. They’re expecting the Delaware River to flood.
This is a political storm for the prissy politicians in the White House and the elites in the N.E.
They wanted to showcase their ability to give speeches to save people.....
“I’m not George Bush, and I can manage a storm!”
The surge backed up some bays and rivers and the world is supposed to be aghast.......
People are aware that it is a bad storm. What is remarkable is that the media and the politicians are acting as though it is a Category 5.
It isn’t.
OK, I’ve read most of the comments and they are interesting, and some are even humorous.
I think the article is trying to convey a concenpt that this storm, while being a serious event, was very much over hyped. I have to agree. It’s one thing for the news media to warn the population about the coming storm and all possible hazzards, while it is another thing to have wall-to-wall coverage of a storm without any other news.
I can tell you that when there are tornadoes in Minnesota, the news media including the weather channel does not break in with news about serious storms taking place. Last summer we had a lot of tornadoes in Minnesota, the highest count in the country (which is unheard of), and the weather channel did not report most of them - they simply mentioned them in their “news on the eights” segments.
The high density of population is a logical reason for some of the extensive coverage of the East Coast storms - but wall-to-wall coverage when other parts of the country get much less coverage - is easy to interpret. Folks in fly-over country do not matter much to the news media.
