Don't worry, I'm already prepared for the backlash, so I'll just go ahead and say it: New York, and pretty much anybody from New York that they put on the news when covering a story.
So you had a severe storm that ripped up some trees and caused some damage, and also killed a few people? Look, I'm sorry for the loss of life, but how is this the lead story on every major news outlet? It was a thunderstorm.
That's not so bad, but I've been at work for 5 minutes and walked in our kitchen just as Good Morning America was starting. They lead with the storm, of course, and right away these things happen:
1. Robyn Roberts (I think that's her name, the one that used to be on ESPN) compares the storm to Hurricane Katrina.
2. They interview a lady from the city, and she claims she thought it "was the end of the world."

3. Another lady was already calling for the government to come in and help.
That's where I have to draw the line. Comparing a thunderstorm to Katrina? Calling it the end of the world? Its so bad that you need the government to help? Apparantly if you want a lesson in hyperbole, just have a conversation with someone from New York.
I'm sorry, but you people are not nearly as tough as you like to claim.
