All right, you have a grievance about the beachfront homes and the retaining wall (and I agree). But New York City hospitals don't usually have twelve feet of water in their elevator shafts and lower floors. There was somewhat more damage from Sandy than you're making out. Was the storm over-hyped? Maybe, maybe not. Those who have to prepare and warn the public have to err on the side of caution. I'd far rather there was too much concern than too little.

As for network news and politics ... a two-day break from that might not have been such a terrible thing, either.
