Fierce Storm Drenches East Coast! Storm Watch: 300 Flights Cancelled! Storm Shelters Open!

Etc. While this storm apparently was legitimately powerful and dangerous when it was west of us a few hundred miles, now that the rain is here in NYC, basically… well, it’s just raining. That’s all. And since I brought my umbrella (and don’t have a car, thank you MTA), it’s really no big deal. A cormorant just flew by my office window, also not too concerned by it.

Leftist interpretation: a vast media conspiracy to keep us in a state of fear! And incidentally keep us tuned in to their channels, to the benefit of their advertising revenues!

Sensible interpretation: it’s a slow news day.
