Agreed.....but would you ever truly expect them to say...."this is going to be a run-of-the-mill, no big deal storm". They are going to paint it like the second great flood with EVERY storm. Ratings.I worry about the carolinas there might be new flooding from the rain. I dislike them using overly emotional terms for the effects, it is a cat 3 which is a decent cane, but not really a catastrophe, that would be cat 5.
On a side note--for years, I have been sick of hearing the term "hunker down". The ONLY instances you ever hear it are UGA fans trying to emulate Larry Munson....and news reporters discussing what people who stay for hurricanes do. That's it. No exceptions. I don't think I have ever heard it expressed in any other fashion. People never say they're going to hunker down for any other reason---just a storm, or just if they are UGA fans. Period.
It simply grates on my sense of intelligence every time I hear someone say they're "going to hunker down".
