In the days leading up to Superstorm Sandy, the local news stations and newspapers were warning people in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) to be prepared for a possible Category 1 hurricane. Hurricanes are not frequent occurrences in this part of the United States, so it seems that most people were just not prepared for the devastation to come. Just a year before, New Yorkers were given the same dire warnings for Hurricane Irene, and it didn't hit as hard as predicted. Most people thought the same thing was going to happen with Sandy.
