Kalen,
Don't know where you are located but from here on the East Coast I think they got it largely right.
I'm always suspicious, too, of storm overhype, but the media also happened to get most of their facts right as to the genesis, speed, direction and force of this one. Okay, maybe CNN overdid sit some, but not The Weather Channel and not the NYT and the local papers. The storm has dissipated some, as it always does, once it touched land, but I can assure you it has been incredibly powerful and very close to apocalyptic along coastal area. Unfortunately, that will mean the media will feel justified in playing up the next one, but every once in a while even, if by accident or luck, they get it right.
