#1 Actually you can't "overhype" a category 4 storm. It is lethal.

The nonsense is to blame global warming. The Caribbean always had these storms. The Mayas and Aztecs feared them for a reason. These storms sank Spanish silver fleets.

NOAA just did its job. And yes, as it seems, the storm could have done more damage (in the U.S.). It certainly did in Haiti.

#2 It certainly did in Haiti.

Haiti is not the "U.S."

#3 Haiti, unfortunately, is brittle. As a society they do not invest in the things necessary to keep people from being killed by the predictable ravages of nature.

You mean like our Gulf Coast (and New Orleans in particular)?
