[QUOTE]Originally posted by dilly: [QB] Here in New York City, there's not much happening apart from strong gusts and light drizzle. Only those who live in a handful of low-lying areas next to the water (such as Coney Island and Battery Park City) are getting flooded out. But that comes with the territory. Everyone else is high and relatively dry. Predictably, however, the over-caffeinated TV weather reporters ("Team Coverage!") are making it sound like the End of Civilization for every living soul in the entire eastern United States. Which probably explains why my local supermarket is still well-stocked with everything imaginable -- but completely out of toilet paper! Most of the wind damage (fallen trees, power outages, flying patio furniture) is in the suburbs and beyond. Not much fun for people living in those areas, I'm sure -- although, even then, it depends on where you live. Some will sustain heavy damage. The vast majority will get through things just fine. Nevertheless, the TV news is (as always) working overtime to pump the ratings with their doomsday coverage. After watching (for the tenth time) the same video clip of the same reporter dramatically saying very little about the same overturned playground slide, I've finally tuned it out. [/QB][/QUOTE]
