A positive way to look at hurricanes and TV is....TV has been at it for 40 years beginning with the "Historic" area.....somehow they made it all these years and all those prior years hurricanes.

While today we are much more informed and as a result become better prepared.

On the negative side we are too much informed by the media as they venture beyond informing and move into brain washing-like repetitive reporting of every drop of rain and grain of sand blown. I guess it is how they sustain viewership, but it can and does frighten the uninitiated.
