May casualties stay really low.

1. But, but, but ---- don't you know this storm is nothing but media hype!

2. I know....

I was reminded of...the snark posed bt me fellow Californians after the quake..."5.8 that's nothing!"

Yup, same attitude.

3. At the risk of people jumping on me, I must say...

I don't think they're really the same thing at all. Of course earthquakes can and do cause huge damage, but we all know that one didn't really do too much. Any damage is too much, but you get my point.

4. Actually they are concerned about weakened structures

That otherwise would survive this just dandy...why I called this a 1,2 punch... Keep your eye on mineral and louisa counties for sadly...possible text book examples of this...

Which reminds me...if you are near a cracked structure...stay away.
