Tomorrow morning when those of us in New England wake up we will find that Hurrcane Irene was much more a media event than a weather event with any significant damage. the media and politicians use such events to get us glued to TV for their benefit, not ours. I am predicting several inches of rain and a little wind equal to a winter Nor'easter. It will be a non event and tomorrow we hear of changes in the weather pattern that couldn't be predicted weakening the storm and sparing us. Some day New England might be hit with a Hurricane of signifance like the one in '38. This ain't it.
