I definitely remember some government agency, maybe National Weather Service, issuing very serious warnings because they didn't want to think it would be like Irene again.

They showed their storm surge forecast map for Sandy to Chris Christie and he thought they were joking, so he told them to come back "with the real map". An hour later they presented him with the same map, and that's the moment he knew it was going to be really bad.
