You were smart to not believe the hype as the minimal damage (broken
windows in a sky scraper, toppled trees and an awning to two blown down
and some 10 foot max storm surge and flooded out cars is all that
happened. They MIGHT have one measly death attributed to the storm so far.

Like I said, don't believe the government control-freak mentality hype.
They are obviously softening up the sheeple so they can lead them to the
slaughter at some future date for nefarious purposes.

While I don't believe everything the government says, I'm questioning
where you get your information about the lack of storm damage in this
area. The route to my marina was blocked off as a disaster area, and
large sail and powerboats were strewn around the marinas, roadsides, and
parking lots like so many children's toys. (This was the area where Red
Cloud was docked.) Settlements on Boliver Island and West Galveston are
almost totally destroyed.
