I thought the media made a huge deal out of nothing. Last year, almost the exact same scenario happened here, but with much less coverage. We had a category four hurricane coming and it downgraded to a two in the hours right before it hit. Maybe it's because we get them almost every year here, i don't know. I could understand if it were like a Betsy or Camille, but i thought the coverage for Isabel once it downgraded was excessive. It was ludicrious. CNN was giving tips on what to do after a hurricane and hello! these ppl don't have power. And if they did, trust me when i tell you they aren't watching CNN anyway. |
