    I’m disappointed this fact and its implications are not getting more news coverage. Perhaps the Mayan calendar was off by 12 years.

      Unfortunately, while I have heard media coverage, much like this article, about how severe this storm is, I think it's getting the coverage that a major hurricane that's not currently on track to hit the US gets within the US.

      I have a lot of feelings about the way the Caribbean is treated by the USA more broadly, but I also live in an area not directly impacted by hurricanes at all, so my media coverage might be less than that of an East Coast or Gulf state.
