That's a beast of a storm!  I really hadn't read 'doom' into your post... sorry if it came off that way.  

But frequenting the internet has left me with a lot of exposure to 'doom'... and I fully expected a rash of "the world is ending" media pieces out there.  Yours was not.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the proliferation of "doom" thoughts and comments prevalent today either.
