Subject: Re: Irene
It was certainly a major storm. But it was the object of round-the-clock
television coverage, and billions of tax dollars were spent preparing for
it. It received far more press than the devastating tornadoes that
literally leveled Joplin, Missouri. Perhaps not much ado about nothing,
but certainly much ado about very little. It could only happen on the east
coast.
More like it could only happen in the U. S.

news just said there were over 400,000 people without power!
The stories keep coming in -- the Saw MIll parkway is a river in
sections .. more buildings are falling down along the shore -- etc...
Yet I only know this because I see it live on TV -
I believe Annsan. We only had winds up to 65 mph here and I can't
imagine they weren't stronger in NYC. Lisa went out for a walk around
Jamaica Pond late this afternoon when things had calmed down a bit and
reported uprooted trees and downed limbs blocking paths everywhere.
Fortunately all the advance hype paid off and there were already crews
out cleaning up.
