Not really sure what the problem is Dave.
Warnings of a big storm
Lots of damage in some areas (none to my area thankfully)
Even if it ends up being milder than predicted and there's no damage anywhere is it surely not better to warn people there's a chance of a storm so precautions can be taken?
Seems to me people love to have something to complain about.

Def, my rant is at the forecasters. End of last year there was localised flooding here at the local forecast said chance of rain! It just seems that over the past couple of years they are always putting up warnings and they don't happen so when they do us people are caught out.
As for wanting more deaths, that thought is abhorrent as is the suggestion from a man of your intelligence.

Her car is only the door thats damaged...will tell her to just get a quote to repair and I'll pay it.
The damage on mine is somewhere between 3-5k according to a few people that have had a quick look, so I haven't really got an option with that one! Not been a great month for me personally!

these things happen, they will have to claim on their car insurance, it's not your fault.

Well its a bit of a grey area because it was the house that caused the damage but it does seem it will be car insurance. According to similar cases on the internet, next doors car is just tough luck...I would have to pay for it though, not exactly very nice to just say oh well is it?!

Surely your car insurance will cover your car, and house insurance will cover your neighbours?

Hoping the house insurance covers the damage to the car, although unlikely from what I've read up. Fuck knows what I've got to do about next doors car.

I'm not sure what's wrong with people nowadays.
People complaining that a storm didn't turn out to be as bad as predicted!!
I guess 105MPH wind gusts, 2 deaths, flights cancelled/diverted, felled trees, cranes and scaffolding isn't enough to warrant being called a storm.
A few more deaths maybe next time?
There have hardly been any storms 'warned' down South this year, most of the 11 'warned' have come across the Atlantic and gone North and battered Scotland because of where the Jet streams been situated.

Ted, never play that. Reckon this is a case of cry wolf. How many supposed storms have we had this year for then not to materialise? We were told to watch out for bad things here and all I had was a milk bottle blown over.
NS. With your experience of Florida you should know what a real storm is
