" the national and local response to this storm was bizzare. Are we that desperate for global warming to be true that we respond to a little storm with more urgency then we do for a major hurricane? Good grief! People went surfing and jogging in this storm and highways were shut down. What is wrong with you people? The media over reacts to create a story out of nothing and the public panics. Galveston was not evacuated but emergency shelters were opened to handle the deluge of refugees. Whats wrong with this picture? "
