Have steps taken by public officials helped the public prepare for the storm?
Yes, early warnings got the word out, made clear storm a major threat
No, many people already ready, as a result of previous storms
Yes, transit agency closures limit ability to get around, reduces risk
No, too early to tell

    Overkill like everything else in this country. We needed to know, sure but not 24/7. Flooded with repeat, repeat, repeat. We had no cable for two full days. AMEN!! No commercials and no politics- oh what a relief it was. Thanks to everyone for the hard work they did.
