WTF. CNN is calling this "Superstorm Sandy". For a Category 1. When we got a Cat 1 earlier this year, it was all, "Meh - it's a thunderstorm. No worries. Don't evacuate. You'll be fine."
Not that this isn't a big deal for the east coast. It is. But, why all the hype for them, when we get squat.
Listen, I don't want anyone to die. Seriously. But, I wouldn't mind a few million people being chilly, not being able to flush toilets, and having their cars flooded. That way, when we get another one, perhaps people would understand.
