but if Bonnie wasn't the most over-hyped tropical system I don't know what was.

Not talking about the guys here, or the pros at the NHC because Bonnie was handled like any disorganized storm.

TWC, the networks, local news, the politicians here, etc. had this as a huge crisis. They hardly covered the science, it was all about planning for an imminent disaster.

I hope the public isn't turned off to all this panic reporting and when we really need to be vigilant they have tuned out the networks. A few more Bonnies will really hurt their credibility.
