Kids are probably having a blast. No school next week, tons of water everywhere. I remember when we had a flood by our home when I was about 6, I thought it was a great adventure, using flashlights, eating cold food out of cans, paddling around the neighborhood in our canoe. I don't think my Grandparents remember the flood in those terms though....children are so resilent.
No, it's not stupid it's that we don't agree with the fact that the media went out of their way to incite panic.
I turned them off for awhile and just now turned them back on to see some lady in the Boston area, on the beach talking about "horrible winds". She got out her little instrument and talked about how the numbers were "rising dramatically"...at 20 mph.
And how many of those were people who decided to go outside and look at everything? That can happen in a nor'easter as well. If you know there is a storm, stay in your house. That can be tropical storm, nor'easter, thunder storm...that's how most people get killed by being stupid and going outside during the storm.
Stay in your house, your probability of being PERFECTLY fine during a tropical storm or Cat 1 shoots way up.

They have the blessing of innocence, that's why.
