I would absolutely have to agree.
While the repercussions were minimal this time around - and hopefully the next time as well, It did steal our focus from the media and reports coming out of the Eastern side of the continent though.

All the media and hype sucks us in and consumes us making us a busy and keeps us occupied. Even if it doesn't effect us, it still takes up residence in our heads.

If nothing major comes of the storms in the east, at the very least, it twists people focus and keeps them hyper aware and conscious of pending doom whether it produces any or not.

---On that same note - I hope anyone that is on the East Coast are safe with all family members accounted for - enjoy your forced family gatherings and get to know your neighbours a little bit more. Make the best of it and turn it into something positive.
