Did we luck out with Dean and Felix??? no devastation?

[ConvergenceZone]

It seems like before Dean and Felix hit all I hear was nothing but horrible devasting results to come, but it seems like after they hit, I hear hardly anything...... Of coruse I haven't been glued to the news channels, but I'm sure had this been the case, it would have made big headlines nonetheless....Were we lucky AGAIN with Felix?? or does the media just not care? or were we hyping it up to be more than it was again??

thoughts?

I'm not sure where you're getting your info, but Dean wiped an entire town off the map and has caused devastation in several others. Felix will likely have killed hundreds if not more. How much devastation do you need before you consider it "not lucky"?

Just because America is too self-absorbed to take Anna Nicole Smith out of the headlines for death and destruction outside our borders doiesn't mean it doesn't occur.

That's what I'm saying, blame the media not the messenger.....There's no way for us to know what they don't tell us...While I know hundreds probably killed. I heard some predicting thousands of deaths in both Dean and Felix, so I guess it's not nearly as bad as it could have been...

Tell it to the people standing in a flood this morning......while we sit fat and happy behind a keyboard.

Go the CNN front page now.(Not saying you were wrong before, the media wasn't doing very good, just saying that now we know it was unfortunately too early to say we lucked out)
