Maybe what she meant was that Isabel was overrated for her area. Like maybe the media hyped it up a lot in PA and then it turned out to be nothing in PA.
I can see where people could have taken offense to the comment. People who were dramatically affected are going to feel like that kind of comment is insensitive. I would never say 9/11 was overrated just because I didn't lose anyone. And I won't say that this hurricane was overrated just because none of my property was damaged.
So yes, perhaps words could have been chosen more carefully, but I doubt she meant it in a mean or offensive way.
