I hear u, the media coverage is crazy but when sandy hit up here it was a category one but due to a bunch of storms that year, six years ago, there was so much saturation the water flooded to the extreme. Even after six years areas are still fucked up and it was one of the most expensive storms in US history. I was bringing supplies to people in Long Island who lost everything. It was very sad. The damage was heartbreaking
Yeh it's a mass collective in hurricane prone areas. They piggy back and basically the 'category' is more spectacle for the masses. Locals however know that a 3 early in the year followed by one or two slow tropical storms in just as devastating especially if you're below sea level. The activity of a season paves the way and you never fully just 'dry out' or 100 percent recover as you revert to basics in the aftermath and very much live day to day week to week. Still though there is a certain respect and awesomeness when people come together to get through. Brings out the best of many.
