It's a BIG storm.
If you're one of the millions without power, if your kids can get to school, if your house is warm, I agree, you could think it's overplayed.
However, for people interested in someone besides themselves, that is the biggest storm in 12 years.
Go hit your main breaker, open your doors and windows, keep the kids home for school, and do that until next Monday.
Multiply that by a couple of million, then say it's not a big deal.
Arf (the debbil again. Shouldn't have done this. Too obvious.)
