Way too many Parishes and Wards of New Orleans were totally pillaged after Katrina, with instances of extreme violence. To my knowledge, there are no reports of looting or conflict along the Jersey Coast, Manhattan or Long Island, regardless of threats conspired on Twitter. It makes one wonder ...

Went yesterday to help change out a fueloil tank.. 32*-45* with the wind about the same speed..wind chill was 22* i think..This place was Haunted..old farm house.lol..Three old tanks on a concrete block saddle that had to be removed by hand...6ft. in the air...new tank didn't show up yesterday..so had to go back today..still cold as hell..with wind close to 50mph..couple in the house was in there 80s ..and been there forever..but there fired now...
my normal ride of 1/2 hour to work took an hour and 1/2 because of closed roads trees down the Eastgreenville and Pennsburgh both have no power our plant is fed by the high tension lines and still has power 
so that means work go's on.
At home we didn't loose power some water in the sump pump hole not enough to kick pump on though.

TR,
Interstingly the cold front came through Iowa with a near tie for deepest low here @ 28.70 inches. The record low preasure since I have kept rack is 28.55 inces in March of 2009. We had a three day snow storm with that one...Wind speeds here with this latest mega low were in the 40-50 MPH range.
Boring here. We get the same every day, till that hurricane gets rolling out of the way....
Regards, Kirk
The winds have calmed down to hovering around the 18-20 mph mark.
Looks like she's moved southeast, but still swirling around.
The ground is soaked, I had dead leaves all over my car this morning and the skirting had blown off my house on the north side.
A neighbour came over and tucked it back in for me.
Taking Gretchen out to potty is taxing because her shortie legs sink down in the grass and she doesn't like cold.
I've been warming a towel in the dryer to wrap her in after.

I am confused...
why is sandy being spoke of in a way that it was worse than Katrina???
Katrina facts....
Fatalities 1,833 confirmed
Damage $108 billion (2005 USD)
(Costliest hurricane in US history
Areas affected Bahamas, South Florida, Cuba, Louisiana (especially Greater New Orleans), Mississippi, Alabama, Florida Panhandle, most of eastern North America
are the media hyping Sandy or are memories of Katrina forgotten....maybe i am missing something.

I could be wrong, but from my understanding Katrina was more about the dikes failing then actual hurricane damage.
Fatalities were worse in Katrina. Lots of reasons for that one.
Damage costs for Sandy haven't been determined yet.
Areas affected started the same (Bahamas, S. FL, Cuba) but when Sandy came onshore in New Jersey, it's hitting a very densely populated area of the USA. New York City alone is over 20 times the size of New Orleans in terms of population.

Katrina laid waste to a bunch of poor folks in the South. Sandy clobbered the liberal elite, smack dab in the home of the liberal media complex.
And you ask why all the hype?
