Diffuse disasters- ice storms in, what, six or eight states?- are hard for the media to cover; and the economy and the new regime are the big stories now anyway.
Flooding in New Orleans is dramatic and easy to report.

The 1938 New England hurricane did horrific damage but it was, IIRC, the same time as the Sudetenland crisis. It got little national notice.

Glad you have power again.
