SOUND OFF: Was Hurricane Sandy A Disappointment For Storm Lovers?

Some local residents sounded off on social media Tuesday saying the storm was a major let down.

 

Was Hurricane Sandy a let down for storm lovers? 

Despite more than 2,000 Portsmouth residents still without power Tuesday and Newport areas still flooded, some residents used social media to complain about how Hurricane Sandy let them down. 

One Brown University student even told a NBC 10 reporter he was not convinced the storm was a hurricane. 

Here's what a few local residents also had to say on Facebook and Twitter: 

@reneee_susan: that's it sandy? #idontwantclasswednesday

Jacki Almeida: I guess it's better to be precautions than not prepared. They could have predicted the storm path wrong for all we know and it could've come right towards us. We drove around in it though, to see the water and stuff. Just a mess of branches and trees!

Ann Cummings: I don't think it was hype at all - I think we got lucky here with the way the storm turned and changed. Happy we aren't like some of the pictures the news is showing in many other areas south of us.

Leslie Costic: Always better to be prepared and informed.

What is your reaction the day after the storm? For those that enjoy storms, was this a disappointment? Was it all hype? Tell us your thoughts in the comment section below!

Could we stop dancing on graves, at least until the dead are buried?

Seriously? Disappointed that the storm was a let down? What, not enough people dead? Not enough homes and livelihoods destroyed? Would some rather have had a direct hit and be among those wading through sewage?
Sick.

A "Sound Off" if the storm was a disappointment because it wasn't big enough? Would the author be happier if the 100 U.S lives lost were closer to home? How is this even allowed to be posted? Doesn't Patch have guidelines? This isn't even news and it makes my stomach turn.
