Hurricane Earl

It seems the media and government were wrong again. The "storm of the century" that caused evacuations and states of emergency before any wind or rain came did very little damage. I really wish people would stop putting so much hype on every little thing. I know we are in a 24 hour news world and that there isn't always something to report, but to make every weather disturbance a major storm just to get ratings does more harm than good. It is just like the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." If the media and the government make everything a major storm than people will not take any of them seriously anymore. You can not evacuate or declare a state of emergency for every little storm. The only thing this unnecessary hype does is make people stop and think of how stupid our media and government are. When the next major storm (the real "storm of the century") happens many people will not heed any warnings because of all the false alarms.
