They've been hoping the sheet would hit the fan for the last week. Too bad for them they won't have a big group of storm "victims" to try and get ratings off of or anybody to blame. Globals must be upset too. First hurricane in like three years to hit and its not the one they need to prop back up their warming insanity. Maybe next time folks.

That's what I was thinking too. They were hoping to use a big mean hurricane to say "see! See! Global warming caused that hurricane to grow large and wipe NYC clean!"
Isn't it a little early to declare that there's nothing newsworthy about this hurricane?
It's a slow news day. They're gonna make a big deal out of a puny cat 1 storm. They don't want to report on their disinfo in Libya so they're gonna use the hurricane to distract the masses.
Don't ever under estimate a hurricane based upon it's storm rating or wind speed. The biggest dangers of even a small hurricane includes flooding and tornadoes. Do a search of hurricane Lili. It hit my city/state as a category one storm. I was working in the hospital boiler room when it hit. Many areas were without power for days or weeks. Many areas were flooded. A tornado struck near our hospital taking down a tree and one of the two main power supply lines to the hospital. We had windows blown out, people trapped in elevators, and many homes and businesses in need of roof replacement. Some lost their homes from the storm surge (those living on or near the coast). My apartment complex suffered damage and the local cable tv provider was out for a few weeks. Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best.
Oh they'll make it newsworthy one way or the other. Hell there were storms that blew through KC last week packing 90 mph winds. No nat media running wild telling folks to head for the hills.
All this will do is **** folks off and the next time around they'll say yeah we listened last time and ran off all for nothing. Wolf anybody?
Uh oh they just showed a shingle getting blown off a house in the outer banks. It's getting serious now folks.

If one lives in "hurricane country" then those types of things are to be expected. They were screaming about NY and NJ being underwater and all kinds of nonsense for a week. How all those folks in the Caribbean manage to survive I'll never know.
Question- Do they even bury the power lines in these coastal states or do they just keep stringing em back up to be blown back over again next time around?
