Is it just me, or has this gotten very little press?

1. This is the first time I am hearing about this storm.

That's because it has no chance of hitting the Amerika's.

2. too many americans laugh at "mere" tropical storms

but if they hit wrong, they can indeed be quite deadly even if the winds are not hurricane force

i haven't noticed much press, altho i get tropical info on my weather report ea. day

it sounds like a terrible tragedy indeed
