Yea, I am in Maryland and not too much happened in my area. Just a few trees down. Some power down. Not as bad as they anticipated!

Well actually no. For example, Bloomberg says he will not be giving out tickets nor abusing those people whom decide to stay.

Please fully research before claiming.

Most likely the feds using the cover of storm and evacuation to move the loot to another safer undisclosed loacation enmasse. You would never think that that unmarked panel van evacuating beside you on the interstate had your'e hard earned stolen loot in it now would ya.

Honestly, those northeastern large cities are not regularly vistied by hurricanes, therfore are not as prepared as those of us in the southeast that get hit quite often. Andrew, Katrina, Charlie and many other named storms have proven that no matter how prepared you think you are, the unpredictable nature of these storms can and will prove you wrong. Also you have to take into consideration the slightly warmer than usual sea temps that feed and generate these storms as well as the unpredictable nature of mother nature. So I don't think that there was any over reation, just prudent planning by those that hope to be reelected next year.



Having had an widespread effect from an rare earthquake for the east coast, jacking the nerves of a large portion of East coasters, and with all the damage still left as an unknown, and within just a few days a large cyclone approaching with warm waters beingn sufficient to push Irene into a cat 4 or even maintain a cat 3 as far as New York, they were smart, the did the right thing, The very unpredictable nature of these cyclones allowed the storm to begin breaking down, you now want to apply a conspiracy. Maybe the conspiracy is not always the government, perhaps it is those that relish doom and gloom; the fearmongers and those that are so bored that the apocalypse seems more interesting.

Thinking outside the box demands that one consider all the information, speculation will occur when most of the relevant information is left out of the equation. So far the only conspiracy I've seen concerning these current natural events of the East coast of the US are by those that enjoy fearmongering, or fail to look at all the relevent information and available information.

I live 4 miles from the New Jersey shore and I can tell you for a fact that had the 1 million people who left here not been evacuated from the Jersey shore there would have been a lot more deaths and/or injuries than we saw. The wind wasn't the main concern, it was the flooding and power outages. In my opinion the situation was handled perfectly.

We learned from Katrina and continue to learn from situations like this. The gov't apparently can't win. Don't do enough and you are accused of not caring and/or intentionally trying to kill the people. Do too much and you are accused of more sinister things.

When theorizing the true intentions of our government's actions, there are a few things that need to be taken into account:

- When this hurricane started making its way to the States, pretty much everyone who knows anything about the weather believed this was going to be a big one and were very concerned for the people in its path. This includes professional and amateur meteorologists alike. In the beginning it wasn't hype, it was a legit, presumed, threat.

- In order to ensure the safety of as many people as possible, evacuation procedures had to put into place as early as possible.

- At some point, Irene began to weaken, but the mainstream media ran with "Doom & Gloom" because that's what they do. Sensationalize. They are continuing to sensationalize the aftermath as well. Not to take away from all the people who were affected from this storm, but it wasn't nearly as bad as is being reported.

- Over the past few days, most actions have been taken by local, not federal, government officials.

I can understand people looking too deeply into the events that took place, but trust me, had Irene been nearly as devastating as first thought, we would not be having this conversation. Hope this clears some things up.

The government can't win becuase they have lost all credibility. The country is operating like days gone by, word of mouth and rumors. In the advanced tech society the MSM and the ruling authorities have been caught up in so many lies no one believes anything they say. If they say black you say white, if they say go left then you know to go right. When something happens that you have to question which one to do the next thought is why are they saying this or that. We all know they are up to something. Unfortunately we are living in two worlds the true rreality and the phoney precieved reality that is force fed to us. That is until we all throw up.

I'm not saying I trust or distrust everything they do, I'm just saying THIS one they got right. Credit must be given when credit is due.

I am a conspiracy theorist, I question everything and everyone, including myself at times... No matter what we think or the amount of information we have that might provide disturbing theories at the end of the day for the sake of being a parent I always want to dismiss my own insanity...

My location is Brooklyn, NY... right on water... evacuation ZONE A... I did post few replies to threads concerning my preparation and evacuation updates... My children were the only reason why I evacuated, you rather be safe than sorry....

Being an eyewitness, here are my thoughts.... I spend entire Friday and Saturday "preparing my apartment" as my windows face the water and building is located right on Boardwalk I had to play safe... including the fact that my building is currently going through construction, extra work had to be done... Listening to Bloomberg, weather channel and all medial outlets I was a little concerned... the fear was enormous... We left the "safe" place around 10am.... and looking at ZONE A I see nothing unusual, just like any other wind or rain that we have and might bring us... we live on the water... yes we do have stronger winds, little bit of flooding at times... I did not see anything that was any different or in any way disastrous.... WE GOT LUCKY.... I understand... I do count my blessings.... I know Staten Island got flooding, Queens, Rockway.... I do feel for them..... HOWEVER.... This always happens... with heavy rain, winds..... Nothing new..... nothing to scare us.... trees down...ok? this is not scary... this is nature... it happens.... What is scary is why "they" did this?!!! the biggest Problem! it might be just like a boy cried wolf.... trust me... people are questing they are confused... even deep sleepers

This is Scary.... They creating the fear... spreading it like small pox... scaring little kids... older people... evacuating.... how about this guy who died of heart attack during preparation for the hurricane?

WHY? WHY? did we get lucky? did it get weak? changed location?... Than GOOD!!!! But what if it was not? you cant help but think that is something is going on? Earthquakes? just yesterday in Albany? VA? in one week with hurricane? this is all weird... very bizarre? so many things that you put together just don't add up... its still windy... the wind does have an extra intensity.... but nothing extremely dangerous...

People are so disappointed... what do you want? these are New Yorkers? They knew who they dealing with...

at the end, my main concern is why... the pressure and stress and the feeling of something can not be dismissed... I just want my kids to be well and trying to keep them safe and getting harder and harder... Sorry for long post!!!!

It's simple.

Ratings. These network news stations have to pay their bills and are profit oriented companies.

Now a non for profit news company on the other hand..
