Lee is another slow moving Tropical Storm that is predicted to impact the Gulf coast with stronger winds and more rain than Irene inflicted on the Northeast.
However, it appears the media has learned from the wide-spread criticism after Irene. Not only are their reports aligned with the NHC information without any delays, there are no "worst case" focus to their stories and there are few "Armageddon" or "storm of a lifetime" type stories.
So, good job media. See how easy it is to report on what the NHC says without embellishment.
Note: I shouldn't have to do this, but some people read with their emotions instead of logic. I'm NOT saying there will not be any damage, death, or flooding from this storm or from Irene. I'm saying the media reporting is in line with the projections from the National Hurricane Center and treating the people in the path of the storm like adults instead of children that need to be scared into behaving.
