Actually, there have been a fair number of people on this forum diminishing that the hurricane was horrible.

The southernmost part of the state had an especially long and grueling time under hurricane conditions as the storm grazed Cuba and the slowed and pivoted to go north.

It was and is not horrible as hurricanes go. That’s not to say that there was no damage or that dealing with the aftermath is ever easy. The damage was along the lines of a Category 2 at worst. This storm was hyped for political reasons and by the MSM for commercial reasons, for ratings. There was a great deal of unnecessary evacuation of people not even in evacuation zones out of fear, because it was being played up as if there was going to be Category 3 level or greater damage to the entire state of Florida, which is total hyperbole. There were people on here who sincerely believed that Key West was going to be swept away. None of that happened, and it wouldn’t have happened even if the predicted storm track and strength had been accurate.
