Hurricane Sandy Open Thread → For those NOT in the Northeast

Turn off your TV for 3-4 days. There'll be nothing but Sandy coverage for that time. NYC is the center of the universe with the NE surrounding it. Except for LA the rest of us are in fly-over country and don't exist (except for election coverage).

Sadly, this is too true.

All I see is coverage of Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles when I turn my TV on (except for the local news, but they don't broadcast all the time).

No mention of any other states' big cities - including WV, or even any of the beach cities nowadays.

Unfortunately, this is what bring in the ratings; hearing about big cities during crisis (or at all, in general).

I'll remember that there is a Northridge style quake on the west coast..

Could be worse. Could be the 24/7 mud slinging between Obama and Romney.

Not much difference. Cold air instead of hot and rain instead of spittle
