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!!!
THIS is EXACTLY what will happen. In south florida, we watched as Hurricane David teased us, then went away, then a few other close calls that were treated like the coming end of the world. By the time that little storm Andrew came around, the populace was jaded, and met the storm with a yawn, until it brought its 165 mph winds on shore and devastated the area. And yes, I was one of those jaded who stayed at home. It was nothing short of a miracle that more people did not die that day. But certainly, this hyping breeds future complacency.
