Hurricane Irene: is this lady NUTS?!

[Lady's Human]

Tell that to the 4 MILLION without power for who knows how long; tell that to the States of New Jersey and Vermont both dealing with massive flooding; tell that to the 15 (maybe more) who have died - in the rainstorm with high winds.

Latest death count increased to at least 21 people in 8 states.

Okay, I will.

We've had more power out and more flooding than this due to normal rainfall, and noreasters routinely do more damage.

Media hype and over saturation.

Of the deaths, at least three could have easily been avoided........it's called staying home, instead of going out to surf in the waves, or going for a drive in the heart of the storm.

Maybe if the Media were more responsible, people would take evac orders seriously instead of ignoring them due to the constant hyperbole every time a storm occurs.
