During my 26 years of growing up and living on the south shore of Long Island NY, we survived 14 hurricanes. We lived across the street from a canal that accessed the Great South Bay. We never evacuated and never had any storm damage. I remember one of them we were without power for a week. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_York_hurricanes
Yes the local channels spend more time on it then what is happening here. Plus all the stupid tailgate, kickoff halftime temperature. I don't watch football so I don't have any idea what those times are. Make the sports guy take up that time and just stick with regular times.
