Who'd want to be Mayor of New York City. We've just heard on the radio news while driving to work that New Yorkers are disappointed that Hurricane Irene was a bit of a damp squib by the time that she got to the Big Apple. And they're taking out their frustrations on NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Bloomberg is under fire for his mass evacuation order issued Saturday morning NZ time. The measures were far and away beyond any precautions ever taken before, and were wide-reaching. With good reason; the forecasts surrounding Hurricane Irene spoke of weather events which could have been catastrophic to such a populated area.
As it happened, Irene weakened as she approached NYC, and the city was spared her full fury, to the chagrin of some. Trying to please all the people all of the time requires super-human abilities, but we guess that in New York City, it's an impossibility!

Bloomberg and NJ governor Chris Christie did what leaders should do.
Show leadership and the increasingly irrelevant MSM could do the citizenry a service by giving their support.
I for one am glad weather scientists increasingly over state warnings as so many are vulnerable to the worst case scenario.
I guess people were preparing for a full frontal assault from Irene, in preparation the body is also preparing in the form of adrenalin. If that adrenalin is not used up in dealing with Irene then their is excess adrenalin still circulating in the body.
