overstate the problem/danger. It seems that overhyping is needed because many people lack the common sense to get out of the way of a storm, have some provisions, a disaster plan, etc.
So is the best approach for officials to just say, "There's a storm coming, be prepared," or to do the evacuation thing? Can be a tough call.
Overhyped it was, but even though the storm lost strength it still resulted in multiple deaths and lots of property damage, so what would have been the best approach?
We gassed up the generator and did some basic prep, just like we do for a bad winter storm. Other people were prepared but had trees fall on them. It happens.
