My TV blew up last night, so I can't watch TV. So, yes. I am truly ignorant about this.
But c'mon, it's a category 3. Boo hoo. I can understand the initial reaction even if Katrina never occured. it was a category 5. Most powerful winds ever in the Gulf. Gonna hit the same town where the worst hurricane in US history hit. Sure. The hub-ub was completely warranted.....4 days ago
Add the Katrina disaster, and sure, press and public latch on and get all concerned.
But the thing has died down. It's a 3. Nothing major's going to happen. It will be no worse than the previous "major" hurricanes like Andrew and what-not. Hurricane Sleeper and Emily were both Category 3s when they hit the states this year. Katrina was nearly a 5 when it hit.
Hundreds of people aren't going to die. Billions of dollars of damage isn't going to happen. The press is continuing to worry everyone because that's what the press does.
Sucker.
