There was a hell of a lot of people affected that weren't on barrier islands, both with flooding and car loss.

A few days later, go home. No damage. It was just another inconvenient storm. Reality - few lost their home. Enough to spend a full 45 seconds in a news report.

No damage? You have obviously never suffered the aftermath of water/sewage flowing through your house. Although the house looks intact, the damage is extensive and expensive, making the house uninhabitable until it's cleaned/repaired.

Another tw rant about the TV media coverage, which nobody is denying.
