PunkBob 10/30/2012 1:10:23 PM ReportYea, not really much different. Wish the news outlets would stop pushing this storm on everyone. Yes there was a hurricane yes it was bad, no its not affecting us as much as they thought. Sucks for the eastern seaboard. The weather may be part of the "cell" however the weather here is normal for this time of year. Hurricanes dissapate quickly when over land.
