See my op-ed in Crosscut that points out a couple of lessons learned from that non-event, one of which could be negative for a future storm, just ask Atlanta. See The real lessons from the Fizzle in the Drizzle.
Note that I had a couple of other points to be made, but the editor wanted a more focused piece without the distraction of numerous issues. On that note, if you want to be published, work with an editor and give them what they want.
