...and unless there is some kind of sensationalism of the 'danger' even more people would just sit on their asses and not take care of any preparation for anything and just complain that 'the government' didn't take care of them when they were in trouble.
It's really easy to complain about the hype when you're sitting comfortably at home today...if you had a tree in your living room, or 3 feet of water in your house, or your car was under water, or your relative was killed, or your power was out for the next week or two, or your road was washed away, etc, etc, etc you might be singing a different tune.
If the storm had not weakened and turner more Westerly, areas of NYC might just have been under a lot of water, and the evacs would have been praised as saving many lives, etc
I'm not saying there isn't media hype to the extreme, just that it was quite bad for some folks who are in bad shape right now...
