First clue this "CoronaCane" wasn't coming was the absence of Jim Cantore! If he wasn't nearby there wasn't going to be a storm! Hoaxacane over.

I saw him last night on TWC in the Carolinas.
Which is where this storm was headed all along.

listening to a few different MSM channels yesterday they used phrases like "100-million Americans" to be affected this week by the storm. CNN tried its best to hype it up as a Corona-Hurricane combo catastrophe. I think CNN and MSNBC are dejected.

Yes, irritated by the poor reporting of the storm news.

I haven’t read or watched anything in-depth today about the storm yet, but given that it is on its way up the east coast, how is that not a true statement? According to my Alexa, 118 million live on the eastern seaboard.

700,000 without power in ct. 2nd largest power outage (sandy is#1) in History for nyc. More than 1 million lose power in NJ, reports of 2.5 million affected in metro nyc area., I’m guessing upstate ny, ct just as hard hit.
I’m sitting in a suburban outdoor cafe with a line 30 deep because no one has power and they have a generator. If it doesn’t happen in Florida it’s probably made up. Oh wait, even if it happens in Florida it’s probably not really happening.

...and they talk about Florida weather

JANUARY 29, 2016

Hurricanes and similar storms tend not to make landfall.

The vast majority of hurricanes live their lives at sea, long and happy, mostly unnoticed by most humans.

Those relatively few that do come near the US mainland either skirt around, or well wide of, the southern tip of Florida and into the Gulf, or they skirt up the Atlantic coast.

A quick look at the map reveals that lands on the Atlantic coast from North Carolina northwards are significantly more easterly - jutting their fat and long parts further out into the Atlantic - than any point in Florida.

History and current events clearly show that, except for the panhandle, direct hurricane hits on the Florida peninsula are relatively rare, the mid-Atlantic states and lands further up north are at noticeably higher risk.

I'm not sure, but I'd bet that insurance for buildings the outer banks of North Carolina, for example, is just as expensive as for those in Florida.
