The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

High rates of fatalities, slow recovery efforts, and an overwhelming number of power outages and water supply issues show that local and state officials were largely unprepared for the magnitude of this storm. The government's lack of preparedness measures left many communities vulnerable.

Daily Express US

Pro-establishment narrative

This was an unprecedented storm which could never have been fully prepared for. While state and local authorities did their best, the magnitude and damage of this event was greater than expected. Emergency responders made efforts to respond to the crises as soon as they could, but the historic nature of this storm made it hard to mitigate the damage.
