Really? I remember much more coverage on Katrina and the tsunami.

Maybe it seems so much more nowadays because we've got Twitter, more people use the internet, and news reporting is so much more immediate and word-of-mouth based than it was only until recently

Feels like they're making NYC into the new Katrina, and Boxing Day wave wasn't as big as the Japan quake/tsunami.

Edit: media-wise
