I didn't conveniently miss a damn thing. I'm not trying to argue the fact that the media hypes these things up. You are correct in that regard. However, I am just pointing out that you made a statement (see above) that flat out said "The damage I see on TV right now is some flooding, and some wind damage commensurate with a cat 1 or 2 storm...trust me, what they're showing right now isn't anything close to cat 4 damage". Did anyone in the media overhype that sentence for you? I agree with everything you said in regards to how these storms are covered, but there is no damn way in hell someone can honestly believe that this storm did not cause Category 4 damage.
