Excuse me if I yawn about Sandy. If you read what the media is saying and the weather people, you will think the world will end in the next few days.
Here is why I think that the storm will be bad but not that bad.
First, I've followed hurricanes in the past and it seems that every time there is a cold front approaching a storm in the Atlantic, the Atlantic storm is usually blown further out to sea and the storm is not so bad.
Second, while the people who live beach side and maybe a few blocks in from the Ocean, the flooding and winds will be bad, those inland shouldn't have a lotof damage.
Third, the media will focus on a few dead trees that were uprooted, a few streets by rivers that are flooded and a few houses that are damaged but the vast majority of people will not have damage to their homes, apartments, streets or businesses.
Yes, there will be electrical outages in some areas. Maybe it's time to put the electric lines under the ground?
And finally, after the storm ends, the media will praise the federal government and what a wonderful job they did to keep people safe.
Yeah, I'm a cynic.
Meanwhile, in Las Vegas, it's going to be 80 degrees, sunny, no humidity and no wind tomorrow.
