Are the weather people disappointed?

Is it me or do you all feel that the media people covering recent hurricanes seemed almost disappointed that Gustav and some of the other storms have not been as strong as they could have been and not as destructive?  I definitely sensed it with the coverage of New Orleans. It felt like the media had gathered for a party and it just wasn't up to the level of carnage they expected.

Today though in listening to the weather forecast on Hanna, the next storm coming up, the weather person seemed disappointed that the storm seemed to be losing muster and was not as well formed.  Hey, there is plenty of bad news to go around without worrying about a storm that fizzles out.  Why not report on the economy, the housing market or any one of the other multitude of problems out there. I for one am glad that the storms are not as bad so far!
