A hurricane that did not even require baking of brownies? Pfft. That said I'm happy it was someting of a false alarm and that you are safe and in one piece. :-D

Better overprepared than unprepared I'd say. But then there is the danger of people relaxing too much and not bother with alarms if they have cried "Wolf!" one time too many. It's not easy to say what is right and/or wrong.
