You find analogous behavior everywhere, though. Every year, when the Snoqualmie floods, the news reports manage to find someone who lives on the annual flood plain for Chrissake to provide the same exact sound bites: "I never expected this", "I've lived here for [umpty] years, and it's never been this bad", and "I don't have flood insurance, what will I do?"
Get a freaking clue, people.
One could also point out that the vast majority of people actually *are* prepared and coping just fine, thank you, but that those kinds of folks don't make for interesting news coverage, so you only get to hear from the morons.
Though what do I know? I had no idea at any point last week where the hell I was. (But I damn sure could have figured it out if I'd needed to.)
