A little different imho. Katrina was a Cat 5 storm churning in the gulf for days and nowhere for the water to go but into the gulf. This storm hasn’t been above a Cat 2 since it came on the radar in the US. It also is not in a total bowl like the gulf. We also have an incompetent POTUS trying to make it all about himself now.
You didn't read the first comment-it was posted when the storm was a Cat 1? I recall that even after the sucker hit many on here were making fun of the "media hype" because the early reports were minimal damage and some even started partying in New Orleans again.
The point is that none of us know what was going to happen, just like none of us know what this storm will bring and its the height of hubris to lay claim that this is all hype at this point. Perhaps the law of averages will side that most storms warnings are not necessary but that is what warnings are all about. Only a fool would claim that these storms are harmless and over hyped before they even run their course.
Yes, but it also hit land as a Cat 3 and less. It petered out pretty soon after it lay waste to LA and AL.
You never can tell - even “wimpy” storms can pack a big punch. There are more variables involved than just wind speed.
It also is not in a total bowl like the gulf.

And it was just a bit more difficult for FEMA to judge where to preposition supplies when the storm was coming AT any particular chosen area. When storm comes up the Atlantic coast, anywhere west of a certain longitude can be a safe bet for prepositioning depots.

BINGO!!!! He came home from vacation early hoping to increase his dreadful poll numbers, because the SS could not do their job if the storm intensified and hit there and also because now it will give him an excuse to take another vacation because Irene ruined the end of this one. Oh and how long before big MO will look at the camera again? Stop hiding wookie, we all know you had more plastic surgery when you were MIA for 3 weeks in July and August.
