So you would rather have the possibility of lives being lost rather than use common sense and stay safe? If NYC streets filled with normal traffic and the hurricane came in early, there would be no way to evacuate them in time. Look at Katrina and how many lives could have been saved if people too heed and left early.
What made most of us very, very disbelieving is that they said the same things about Irene and it was generally a non-event for the city, even though it ruined other places. I think from now on, we will take these warnings seriously and batten down when we can or get the hell out of town if we need to.
