The storm did create situations in which people died. I suspect the tornadoes spawned from this storm were as dangerous as the potential for flooding this dense corridor of humanity you all live in.
After Katrina, the national sensitivity for storm damage was hyper-ramped up. I don't fault the hysteria the media tries to whip up--more precautions were taken for this storm than I've ever remember in the past. Shutting down entire transportation systems in major metropolitan areas is a huge deal.
I'm glad you all weren't adversely affected. Kudos to the linemen that have to repair all the power outages today and Monday.
