So it seems like other than some power outages, the hurricane ended up not being so bad? That's good!

Lol @ the drama king weatherman

I love how he throws the roof shingle and it goes in an arc like anything would that was being thrown. It didn’t get picked up by the wind.

Oh, I remember that one!

Another good one was when Geraldo Rivera was knocked on his arse in Galveston, TX by the storm surge..

That was no joke. He was above the sea wall there, which is pretty high. For the water to be that far above the sea wall in Galveston, it was pretty bad. Actually Ike was a bad storm. I was in Houston at the time. All those restaurants and stores they were showing were destroyed in that hurricane.

And this is called fake news. Too bad there are so many very real examples of it everyday.

It was bad enough. Several people died, and there were a lot of people that had to be rescued from high water.

No one is down playing this - but I agree with the poster - as bad as this was - they should be grateful it didn't come ashore as a cat 4/5 like was predicted.

Overblown forecast and overly dramatic media. I saw one reporter howling about the foolishness of those who stayed to ride it out while standing in the storm herself. Lol

I’d like to know how many N.C. residents died in traffic incidents driving hundreds of miles to evacuate as they were encouraged to do by authorities. I bet more died evacuating than did in the storm.
