I'm sitting in the middle of Newport News, VA. Where the worst part of the storm is raging overhead.
THIS JUST IN!!!
This storm is overrated, and the media knew better then to hype this cat 1 up so much. It felt like fear mongering for better ratings. Well I guess I'm just no so easily intimidated since I've been through far worse storms before.
So just so everyone knows. YES I'm fine. We're all fine. This storm is about as scary as Asahina Yukihime. As in not at all.

This is a long-range media plan to lull the public into a media-ignoring complacency, so that when the Big Storm/Earthquake/Disaster DOES hit, no one will be prepared and the ensuing carnage will be a media bonanza.
Then the cycle can begin again!

Yeah, I was sure it was overrated. But still called my family/friends along the shore to make sure they had some sorta plan in place.... most of which were too stubborn to leave their homes.

Sure or not, don't take unnecessary risks! I think it'll die out soon

27, as far as I've seen, though I don't know how recent that number is.

Given the number of people the news was showing that were willingly swimming or surfing in the ocean during the hurricane, can't really say I'm surprised.
