I don't want underestimate the power of even a Category 1, but this storm seems be overblown only because of the region effected. I agree with this. There were breaking news reports on NBC, CBS and ABC all day over a category 2 at most hurricane. I understand it's projected path is towards New York but how strong is it really going to be at that point? Report on it, I understand that. Make it sound like a category 5 is bearing down on the entire Eastern Seaboard? Shut up and stop with the dramatics.
