>Weren't there over 3 million homes and businesses without power and all sorts of homes getting flooded? Billions in damage? That's what I read anyway.
No, all that is true... they got a butt load of rain... but there's a difference between a butt load of rain and seeing a city wiped out.
Water will drain away, power will get restored. But they were literally reporting on sky-scrapers being blown over... literally... NONE OF WHICH WAS RELEVANT... just seemed to gin up the panic factor (ie ratings). By the time it left the Carolinas is was already downgraded to tropical storm, but they kept reporting on the "hurricane bearing down" on the big cities.
Just seems like they super-panicked. I dunno... I used to live on the coast, weathered through countless actual hurricanes... which this wasn't. Maybe it's like when the south has a threat of cold weather, they close the whole damn city down in case it snows... whereas up North so long as the busses don't bottom-out on the snow drifts, they keep running.
