F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)

I know I am safe in the Detroit area, but the way they covered Irene was like it was Andrew or going to be like Katrina. Most of the deaths were because of sheer stupidity, and the damage done to the DC area was akin to a very bad string of thunderstorms or tornado it sounds like. Bloomberg wanted NYC to evacuate, now they are going to open NYSE and the US Open is set to go. The media needs to get its shit together. I know in the 24/7 news cycle demands stuff, but more people could have been hurt if sheer panic were to take over.
