I've heard it is the WORST storm ever to hit the east coast. Though they seem to say that about every single one now... Anyhow, hello from sunny California.

Wow, you managed to squeeze out a post between Earthquakes / Mud slides / Brush fires / Droughts

Yes, it seems like just about any storm worth its salt is called the "worst... storm... ever" over here.

My favorite was, they were calling for blizzard + whiteout conditions with like 2-feet of snow maybe 5-6 years back. Snow storm of the century. Seriously. Schools sent out snow-day messages the night before. Companies closed. Etc. I was all geared up to stay home from work the following day.

Not a single... snowflake... fell... That's not hyperbole, not a single snow flake. To save face, the weathermen had to drive way the hell up north to do their "on the scene" bits, where they got maybe 2 inches or something. Like up-UP state NY. People used to joke that they would see a Moose in the background.

The weather-persons lost a LOT of respect after that. Not that they had much to begin with, but you'd think they would learn to dial back the "DOOOOOM" statements.
